In my opinion (this is not in order), these are my top solo tops....

Lee Sin has a crap load of things that make him annoying, from great mobility, sustain, barrier, life steal, atk speed slow, harass/gap closer and ult that knocks targets back. Sure, people play him mostly as a jungler, but his kit is just amazing.

Vladimir for his stupid skill set. Free ranged poke that gives sustain on a decent CD, and the pool that allows him to escape from most scenarios with ease. Despite the fact that he is weaker later on in the game, his early game is just unpleasant to face against.

Riven is also a pain to fight sometimes. Her skill set makese ganking her pretty hard, has free CC, good mobility that is almost immune to slows, and beats enemies down that are lower on health. Doesn't help that she can actually transition into late game.

Teemo is quite annoying due to his poison and naturally being faster than his opponent due to the move passive. Shrooms make it almost impossible to gank him without being seen, blinding lets him win some trades and he can be built somewhat in a versatile fashion if he has the farm; either being tanky with on hit effects, ap with liandry, or even ad.

Taric is surpisingly great at solo top. Sure, he has some mana issues initially, but with his stun shatter combo, he does assloads of damage, can heal in the fight, and hurts with his auto attacks thanks to his passive. Hurts even worse with ulti. Of course, he transitions well into late game with frozen heart and an assload of support items.

Sure, this list is controversial, but they are good solo toppers.
