Because a fighter with constant %HP damage, a powerful shield that pops up after every skill, a gap closer with a taunt and a damn shield from autoattacks certainly make for a pushover, right?

Dude, even Alistar or Leona can top without much trouble, Malphite too, and trust me, it's not his ranged Q that enables him to lane properly. Shen has everything a tanky fighter needs to have a great laning phase -- just get used to it. Darius and Garen don't have ranged poke and yet they don't seem too troubled.
