5 Best Top Laners in League of Legends Patch 10.25
5. Malphite
According to Mark Yetter, League of Legends' Gameplay Design Director, Bami's Cinder and Sunfire Aegis will receive nerfs in Patch 10.25. Bami's Cinder will be a bit more expensive (cost increased from 1000 to 1100). Sunfire Aegis will give 350 health, down from 450. However, their damage and Immolate ability stay the same. The nerfs mean that it will slow down scaling on Malphite. He will still be disruptive in team fights, deadly in duels, and a great complement to Rell.
4. Darius
Darius offers great sustain with great damage output. Whether it is Stridebreaker, Trinity Force, or even Goredrinker, paired with Sterak's Gage and Death's Dance, he will seem immortal. His Apprehend ability both provides reliable CC and makes it impossible for enemies to run away from him.
3. Pantheon
Pantheon receives a lot of changes that shift his role from support and mid lane to top lane. Expect the bruiser to rise in popularity in the top lane.
2. Kayle
Kayle has been in the S tier of top laners since new items came out. She has received a couple of nerfs, including Patch 10.25. Her base magic resist is reduced from 34 to 30. Her Starfire Spellblade (E) passive on hit apply ratio is changed to 20% from 25%. This means she will be a bit more squishier than before, but the nerfs are not enough to discourage players.
1. Camille
Camille receives neither buff nor nerf this upcoming patch. Her kit still works well with either Divine Sunderer or Trinity Force. Paired with Ravenous Hydra and Death's Dance, Camille is the best bet and a reliable champion for duels and split push.
