For the first time, I laned against a Yasou, As Olaf, in top lane. With a Caitlyn support and a Ezreal jungler.


Starting to think I have bronze MMR.

If you want to play a lane bully like Darius there's plenty of options. I ban him out because he seems to be so very unfun to play against if youre top and if not top yourself has the potential to really poo poo on the top laner. I'm sure there's ways around him but it's not worth the headache most of the time

just play Fiora, learn the matchups and just walk over all the pitiful fools that were forced to fill top lane

I am not a top main, but when I do play top I like to play Garen into Fiora because he can just walk up and Bop her on the head then walk away

honestly this will probably work in the majority of games below like plat or diamond

e: also Morgana Q is like one of the most satisfying abilities in the whole game, I don't really know why

I'm really only half joking, I've played galio/malph/mao top too and I can hold my own. I'm not really bad at solo lanes, but I find basically being unkillable because you never have to stick your neck out for farm and it's hard to dive through binding/ult/black shield coupled with always being at least mildly useful later game due to your pick/peel potential it ends up being a surprisingly consistent strategy.

If you have a snowball jungler you also have p amazing gank potential top. It's basically free at level 6+ and even before that it's not too hard to setup a q.

I'll jungle for you, (last time I jungled for you, the support outDPSed me. It didn't matter since you had 19 kiills on Twitch, and murdered anyone who looked at you)

I should stop playing meatshields top and just start playing malzahar.

I mean Morg Top's been done in pro games. a year or two ago but still. It was a semi-common pocket pick for uhhh can't remember his name but he was top laner for Jin Air. As far as off-meta top picks go it's certainly one of the best

Because that should just be a thing you can select at the top of the loot section and open with no key

Why do you have to assume her gender like that when you could just instead play Teemo and not worry about bringing gender into anything as you spam laugh on top of dead people's Corpses

he stealths after 1.5 seconds so it's too much work because you have to keep spamming move and then stop

Notice the Kalista with plenty of mana not rending, which would have been enough to kill the Nami after I got on her, and the Trist with 0 mana and Elise with all her cooldowns up. It's the details that really make it.

That had nothing to do with the minion wave lol she was only attacked by like 3 ranged creeps. Elise just walked in and did nothing for 8 seconds instead of just going into spiderform and executing the 1/2 hp trist
