What are some good top laners to carry with?

[quote=sirell][quote=Hatted]So Gnar's a good top laner? I just can't figure out how to carry with him. D: I've only played Jayce a handful of times and I think he's a safe bet to carry, but he's kinda like a mid laner in that he does really well from the back lines.[/quote] Gnar is broken as fuck :( But playing Gnar well is playing him as two different champions with the same item build. I'd say Gnar is probably the strongest, most consistent top-laner out there atm. I'd also say a good [[ryze]] player can carry very easily if they know their matchups well. Probably my go-to choice if I'm blind-picking or don't know what kind of comp both teams want to run. A steady all-round pick. [[rumble]] is a difficult pick to play well and is somewhat reliant on using his ult well, but can wreck face when used properly.[/quote]

[quote=Savlonic][[Ryze]] since nerfs is severely weaker in lane phase and can't 1v1 laners as easily as he previously could, granted he's still fairly safe and his late game isn't too awful. [[Rumble]] takes a decent amount of practice to play well so diving straight into ranked with him isn't the greatest plan, proper heat management, positioning of [[the equalizer]], constant steady harass in lane with [[flamespitter]], etc.[/quote]

[quote=Kadius][[Rengar]] goes RAWRRRRR[/quote]

[quote=NicknameMy]For me, [[garen]] is still a great pick for that. He has some bad matchups, of course, but he is really strong against those type of champs that are going to just faceroll your team ([[riven]], [[akali]]). In the midgame, [[garen]] should start facerolling the enemy team while later he falls off. Well, most games end early nowadays and you can easily finish a game if you aquire [[Baron Buff]] + [[elixir of ruin]], which totally breaks down the enemy.[/quote]

[quote=KatariFIRE]Normally [[Renekton]], [[Darius]], and [[Jax]] is a safe pick for top lane. [[Darius]] is really strong and easy to play, recommended using [[flash]] and [[ignite]]. He is nearly un-trade-able in early stage of the game especially around LV 6-9. [[Renekton]] is fun to play, he doesn't relies much on items to make play, very mobile, good sustain&CC. A real lane-bully. Superb early game power and ridiculously weak late-game. [[Jax]] is a better duelist, can carry well in late game. (You played LOL, you know him well) mostly banned though... ______________________ [[Swain]] is my optional choice. I fell interest to played him around 2 months ago. At that time I just want to play weird champs that people don't play [[Urgot]], [[Singed]], [[Mordekaiser]], [[Cho'Gath]], [[Gangplank]]. And I feel surprise that these champ are not as bad as I though, eventually strong in some situation. [[Swain]] is ridiculously strong, good sustain and far more than strong damage and cc. He is very underrated, he may not be very good at MID anymore but in TOP!! he is GODDD!!. I played with common top lane like [[Riven]], [[Jax]], [[Lee Sin]], [[Yasuo]] and they just cry back to their mom. Max E first, and use E - Q - Ignite and a few auto at level 2 will likely out trade anyone. But the point is not TRADE with them, your Q will do a dirty job and you just run like pussy when they try to kill you and eventually get killed instead. At level 6 you will be a monster, no one will try to trade with you if your mana is up. Flash, W - E - Q - Ult - Zonya will make great advantage for your team in team fight, no one can kill you and their health will burn away so quick than they every expected.[/quote]

[quote=Blian]How did it go against champs like [[Kayle]], [[Karma]], [[Lissandra]] or [[LeBlanc]]? I know they are not so typical at top but might be your counter picks.[/quote]

[quote=Savlonic]I only play [[kayle]] top if I pick her, but pretty much [[Swain]] can beat just about anything as long as they don't have crystalline+5 pots. Went against a [[nasus]] in ranked the other night who deliberately waited to be late to lane, came with 4 health pots, a mana, and crystaline. I couldn't get him out of lane no matter what I did, first back, he got kindlegem and even more pots. Luckily their akali gave up at champ select so the 500 stack at 21:57 didn't matter.[/quote]

[quote=Blian]Curse you all! I was about to buy [[Lissandra]] and have some fun with her but now you talked me into [[Swain]].. I dunno. I've already refunded him once :D[/quote]
