Exactly, his early game is really dominant and can transition into a great meatshield after that. He's a great first pick and safe at the moment since no one seems to want to pick any of his counters. But what's popular is what the Pros have been playing top for so long.

I remember preaching that people should pick up Trundle since he scales as hard as Shyv and Mundo do if he ults them, before he was ever used in competitive play. I would go EVERYWHERE and talk about it. I went to YouTube channels when they were addressing how to counter Shyv and Mundo top. I felt proud when I finally saw Trundle in competitive play. I felt as though I pushed the envelope. But I was disgusted with the pros. They had little to no concept on how to use him at first. But it's gotten much better.

And now I'm trying to do the same here. Though I still want to keep someone who I KNOW is overpowered as **** in my pocket until I get back to league.

But basically, Renekton is the only thing tank that can go toe to toe with hyper tanks and have some utility when he drops off. Olaf can do good against them, however he has no natural escape/gap closer other than his ult that doesn't really count.

I kind of want to try Udyr top against those tanks, however not until I get Spirit guard... Cuz vanity.
