User blog comment:Contractas1/Solo Top - The lane that I cannot hold at all/@comment-4834593-20120425193230

I only read until Fiora (don't have much time), but I'd say that AD Ahri would be more viable than AP, because of her attack speed (higher than Graves) and range (also higher than Graves) combined with a hard cc on her E (people say you never hit it. That is because you play mid lane. Players are much more weary of skill-shots in that lane), and a TRIPLE dash on her ult, easily allowing you to stay in attack range. And her AP ratios are crap, while her base damage is not bad. Which means that you already got nice sustain. Plus ranged vs melee is always doing well.

And if you want a real beast at solo top - take Olaf. Even if you play 1vs2, you don't really lose your lane. It's only they get closer to your turret. Later in the game (normally level 5 or 6), you will be able to get out of your turret range and kill them off. Normally, one of the two will be squishier (if not, then just keep tower-hugging and Q-spamming), and you should kill that one one or two times. With a bit of luck/skill (not sure yet. Could be the Singed of last game, could be the lack of lukc that made me die) you will be able to survive. After two or three times, it will even be more easy. The only ones that I really didn't like 1vs1 were Nunu (slow if you try to get near, endless sustain counters harrasment) and Mundo (though he has to do a lot of tower hugging. But a good one can survive until level 6, and then heal it back each time. 65 second cooldown is SHORT).
