TWO BIG BOSSES OF TOP LANE

First up:

WuKong is now OP. Q hits like a truck. E to dash towards enemies. W for escape if things go wrong. R to knock you up if you decide to run. Damage, utility, escape all-in-one. The new KING of Top of Solo has arrived.

Although WuKong wasn't that "worthy" to play with before the week, some top-tier players have already found out what he could do in a top solo lane. "Oh my god! Tons of damage on his Q," said HotShotGG in his stream when he faced a WuKong. Q also reduces targets armor so if WuKong combos it up with his other physical damage skills, ouch!

Although his only weakness lies in his sustain, his early burst damage can help him get farmed early game and get himself either a Bloodthirster or a Wriggles lantern and let him stay top and farm top until he has his core items. Before it was Irelia (well, now it kind of still is) and now WuKong.





- So how do I counter this OP monkey?
- Use someone MORE OP! 

- Like Who?
- HIM:


Second up, Most OP at the time right now:

 

Lane sustainability + Damage + CC + Split himself into two to beat you up.
COME ON! Can this get any more OP?

From a weak, under-rated character, Yorick evolved with the new Masteries that grant additional lifesteal and easy health regeneration rate to become the MOST OP TOP SOLO champion to lane against!

His E skill, Omen of Famine, damages a single enemy champion and steals his/her life to heal Yorick. By maxing this skill with a +15 damage rune page, Yorick becomes an unstoppable castor-bruiser type of champion that keeps sustaining in a lane while he diminishes his lane opponent's health.

As scary as his sustain may sound, Yorick also has a small Crowd Control spell, his W skill Omen of Pestilience. Upon casting, Yorick summons a ghoul and slows the movement speed of any enemy within an area. As the ghoul chases out at someone, the ghoul additionally slows an enemy! That additive stack of slow is just TOO much. With the help from an ally gank, anything opposing Yorick will die!

And if the slow isn't enough, Yorick can still increase his own movement speed by using his Q ability, Omen of War, on anything he can hit. Slowing your enemies down + increasing your own movement speed? Get outta here.





These recent patches, however, have been smaller compared to the ones before. Either they don't want to change too much and get hated by the community, or this indicates that they don't quite know what to do? What do you think?
