How to determine the solo top.

[quote=Rudmed]So yesterday I was in game as [[swain]] with an [[irelia]], [[master yi]], [[ashe]], and [[talon]]. It was a 1v2 lane up top. So between Swain and Irelia who should solo top? Also if possible why don't we create a list over who is the best to worst out of all solo laners.[/quote]

[quote=Wintermond]Solo Top is all about the champion you are facing, because counterpicking on solo top is as easy as nowhere else. Swain, Irelia and Talon can all go top. Swain can win every matchup, but Gangplank can hurt him really bad. Same for Irelia, but Rumble owns her hard aswell. Talon is strong vs laners with a weak laning because he can snowball from them really good. He is also good against most AP casters.[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]Honestly, I would not have thrown Talon in a 2v1. Swain would have been my pick for best 2v1 in that scenario.[/quote]

[quote=Wayne3100][[Talon]] doesn't seem like a good 1 v 2 choice, [[Irelia]] or [[Swain]] would be better. In this case [[Swain]] might be the best option for mid so I'd send [[Irelia]], having said that a [[Talon]]-[[Ashe]] bot lane is rather unusual lol.[/quote]

[quote=Zoki]In this case [[swain]], second option [[irelia]].[/quote]

He easily kills the squishy casters most everybody sends against him with relative ease after level 6.[/quote]

[quote=Rudmed]Well top lane was a [[master yi]], and a [[caitlyn]] with a [[zilean]] mid. Ashe probaly would have been the better mid because she can volley and run.[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]Ouch. Caitlyn. Probly Swain in that case cause he can clear waves with Nevermove and heal off Caitlyn's poke with bird form. Yi and cait would push so fast and so hard, and they'd poke pretty damn well too. You'd have to take teleport to survive a solo lane like that though.[/quote]

[quote=samgoeslol]dude it doesnt really matter against those guys^^ master yi caitlin WTF IS THAT lol either way you will win. swain will be a little safer tho^^ mb send swain mid irelia top and switch as soon as swain is 6 if irelia is having trouble greez sam[/quote]

[quote=DuffTime]o_O I think you underestimate the poke in that lane.[/quote]
