Aatrox: The Safest Blind Pick
Aatrox is considered one of the safest blind picks in the top lane. He has the right set of abilities to survive lane with minimal losses, even against losing matchups. His greatest strength is his neutral game, as he is a melee champion with actual range. Aatrox’s battle healing and lack of resource costs make him a formidable opponent in lane and team fights.
Darius: The Lane Bully
Darius is known as the ultimate lane bully in the top lane. His all-in potential and high base damage make him a threat to any tank.
