Top is way harder to carry your team with than support.
Besides, supports will have much more influence in s4. I would stick with support as it's currently your best role and it has way more carry potential.
I disagree if you're playing a full tank top laner. Every tank gets to the point where he can sustain 2-3 people beating on him as he runs basically from base to base, even with a reasonable amount of CC. If you can keep your carries up long enough to even get 2 of them dead and another 2 low, a tank could realistically finish the ace or force a retreat.
Nasus and Cho'gath really carry the hardest. Zac can as well. Renekton just falls off harder the later it goes and there aren't that many more tanks out there with viable kits at this point. And I'm talking as top lane tanks. Jarvan, Vi, Amumu and Rammus all can tank a ton out of the jungle (and there are more there, I'm sure), but really aren't strong laners. Top lane gold>jungle gold at this point.
In team games we used to Ban vayne, but after the TF changes we found that it was really hard to go against a corki and cait if they got fed, I played hard initiation tanks but even then, you had to go too deep to kill their carry, it really screwed us over. Eventually we lifted the vayne ban because we felt that with our initiation, even if vayne gets fed we will blow her up later in team fights because she had to get close, and made landing our aoe easier.

So my question for you today... Does Swain die? Ever?
I just bought him because the few times I've seen him, people literally go 15/0, 25/1 etc. My first game, I went 3/0 and survived at level 7 with a veigar and J4 beating on me from my lane, through river and back to my turret because of my raven flock.
Swain is the kind of champion you shouldn't all-in and get into a fistfight with unless you're sure you can 100-0 him in a CC chain or something. You need to poke him down before you engage and when you do having CC will help but the most important part, imo, is having some sort of healing reduction. Ignite shits on his ulti and so does Fizz's W. If you don't have any of those just grab a Morellonomicon and GGswain.
Baron looks pretty nice. But the main star is IMO Akali. She reminds me of that Lucca Comics poster lady.
So I'm on an 0 for 7 streak as ADC. I say first thing "You do not want me to adc this game... it hasn't gone well lately". I'm last pick and naturally, I get stuck with adc. I pick Sivir because fuck Ezreal. Fuck Corki. Fuck Ashe and especially Fuck Varus. Twitch can go die in a fire for all I care.
13 kills later and 0 deaths, we get a surrender at 20.
Balanced champ is balanced. (of course, we faced first time Leona who would E my Fiddle support when Quinn was at like 1/4 health and the Quinn was absolutely brutal)
I need to stop reading comments...on everything. Youtube, facebook, twitch. Reading the comments on the facebook post for the next champion preview and all the "FIX EUW" comments make me facepalm. Why do people think that making those comments will help? Is it really so hard to understand that the person who make facebook posts, and work on champions aren't the same people working on the servers? -.- But anyway, next champion preview is up!
Yeah, these people are probably the same ones who write "bg" at the end of the game...
Anyway, as to the preview, he looks like he might be related to Master Yi... and Ionia obviously.
Check out the blog I write for LEGENDARY Indie Label Flicknife Records:

Just read the funniest tribunal case.
So the reported dude is playing KASSADIN.
And you know why he got reported?
Wel he was flaming and went afk, etc, sure, but can you guess why?
Because he was against GRAGAS and his very last sentence before AFK'ing was:
"omg gg gragas so broken op champ, he drink and is full life again" "and jungel no ganks gg noob against op gragas youre fault we loose" "/all gragas nobo champ for unskiled" and "afk gg jungel reported".
I sincerely hope that person was joking. If not, I don't know whether to pity them or laugh at them for several reasons.
