However the 1st tier will stay unchanged. (I considered bringing Irelia to t2 thogh)
I don't know about Rengar top place much. He's an assassin and top champs are generally tanky. He got a nice bush advantage in top but still, most champs from above tier can really ruin him. He's squishy and works well against squishies. I put him in dependent tier, it means he can be very good or very bad and it depends on the match up and how good his player is.
about Malphite, Yep he can be really good but he has 2 sides:
1: Poke malph. generally spamming Q and waiting for the right time to R and all in. (If you miss R and the enemy blocks it (Like Fiora's W or simply dodging it) he's dead. And some champs can out poke him or position well to make him suffer. (like Teemo or champs like Camille)
2: tank malph. He doesn't really deal much damage and lose most all ins vs top tier champs. He will be good against full AD teams and a good team player, but would be hard to win lane against some top tier champs. A Darius E would end his life. He has NO mobility beside Q or simply using his R to run away which makes his power much less.
tell me if you have other thoughts.
one of the best things about her is that you won't regret the effort you put in learning her. She'll always keep a good place and is very rewarding to play her. A fed Fiora can truly win games on her own. People usually don't respect her splitpush power.
btw, DEPENDENT doesn't mean they're bad. It means they require more skill to be played top. (and preferably for countering)
about the 1st tier choices, The only other 2 who I might consider for 1st tier are Garen and Renekton. I think Darius and Fiora are the best because they're strong in the whole phase of the game and can comeback easier than most champs. Fiora is popular for being a game changer and a fed Darius is a nightmare. Fiora is mobile and can't be kited easily. She deals true damage based on his target's maximum health. She got immunity with her W and can even counter CCs with it. She can destory towers faster with her E (most top laners have such tool. Nasus can destroy towers much faster but he needs stacks to do so). and she Gains so much healing with his R, plus a lot of damage. not many people can survive enough to complete the vitals. and Darius, The only thing that Darius lack so much is mobility which makes him easy to kite. Garen has the mobilty but he's still not better than Darius. Darius's Q and Ultimate are just OP. His Q gives him great damage and healing in teamfights and his ultimate resets with each kill during its duration (and it deals true damage. garen's do it too, it even has more damage, but it doesn't reset).
most of the placements aren't completely my personal thoughts. I always check popular tier lists on other sites to make sure about my oponions. My goal for this tier is to be based on the meta not my personal thoughts or who I like. that's why I put Kayle who is my favorite champ on the 3rd tierlist at first.
and It this tier is kinda is my own thoughts too. I mean, there are many guides out there and each have different thoughts on the meta. but I get to choose between them.
To be honset, the player's experience is the most important thing. for example, Akali's winrate was very low after her nerfs but good Akali players were still playing good. Her winrate is still not high enough but I myself play with her sometimes and feel really OP.
I have a favorite champs tier though. it's just champions that I like with the reasons I like them. you can check it here:

Most top laners are tanks and Talon usually goes for Lethality build and target squishies so Top lane isn't really the great place for him unless he's trying to build something else or is against an squishy champ. I personally don't think he can even beat Kayle after level 6. because I main Kayle and play her mid a lot and always end up bullying Assassins. (Her ultimate is anti Assassin tool)

I downgraded Garen. but I'm not sure about Tryndamere yet. can you explain why do you think he's better than the other champions in the 2nd tier? And I like to know his Weaknesses as well. beside his ultimate, he's usually a dead guy in my game. low health and afraid of CC. I don't play him in lane but when I play him in ARAM I always end of with a few triple kills and it feels OP.
I'd like to know more about him.
