League of Legends (LoL) Question: Top Laner

I think yes, i played him sometimes this week and his a really strong and safe pick. You'll win a lot of trades early on, and deal a lot of damage in late game while you're extremly tanky.

He's probably not a very "meta" pick, mostly since there are lots of powerpicks in top lane. He's a decent pick though. I use him as a vladimir counter in my ranked team and his initiation once you built Turbo Chemtank makes him a great pick inside or against AoE team comps. He can also steal a jungle camp by himself with his sapplings, or just take the razorbeaks in your own jungle.
