League of Legends: Championships for the top laners

In this practical tip, we present championships for top laners in the League of Legends game. We show you not only an offensive, but also a defensive skill. This is how you will win the top lane.

The offensive top laner

If your jungler is more like a champion with good defense, such as Jarvan IV. Your skill is typically 21/9/0. These are the most important championships:

• The Wrath, War Mastery, Warlord, and Desolation championships increase your immediate damage. Due to a higher attack speed and percentage increased damage.
• "Magic Weaver" and "Blade Weaving" affect both your normal attacks and your abilities.
• For a basic defense, place 9 points in the defensive tree. With "veteran scars" and "juggernaut" you have more life at the beginning of a match and can better disturb your opponent.
• Note: If you play a top lan that does damage with ability strength, such as Elise, you should adjust the championships in the offensive tree.

The defensive top laner

If you prefer to play a defensive top laner - the so-called Bruiser - then a 0/30/0 skill is recommended. With this championship cap you are fully focused on defense.

• You have increased life with "veteran scars" and "juggernaut". In connection with increased armor through "resilience" and "toughness" you can endure a lot, especially in early game.
• Block and Unyielding also reduces enemy damage by 1 to 2 points. This can also be very helpful in the early game.
• "Speed" and "Legendary Guardian" also reduce the control skills that the enemy applies to you.

These championships only serve as guidelines. A hybrid skill would also be possible, for example 9/21/0. You are both defensive and offensive.
