His top lane has improved incredibly, except agaisnt high poke top laners. That's becuase he gained a nice boost to damage, from his new Q, as long as he is in melee range. His new E passive gives him better energy management, able to get some refunds on his Q. his W absolutly wrecks most top laners, as most rely a lot on AAs, especially for those early game trades.

Not to mention the damage buffs help his splitpushing, the thing he was origuanlly meant to do well.

Personally though, I think that the changes benifted jungle the best. AA block shuts down creep camps, increased damage cleaned up his trash clearing, and he retained vis potent ganking tools (E and Ult), not to mention he gained some increased CC for ganking (Q slow)
