What champion can carry me to gold?

I'm having trouble climbing up the ladder for Silver. Renekton carried me from Bronze 4 to silver 5 within a few weeks. Now it's just so hard to play with him now. Lol
I main top, I have about 5k IP so what champion is really good?

I like champions that are tanky and OP as hell. Snowball champs are always good. Any suggestions?

Anyone know a good adc that doesn't require a frontline with good early/late game? When I play trist, my frontline usually gets destroyed.

I have done Vladmir and Veigar Mid for quite the while. I am Platinum.

@xDracius Garen manfight is best manfight. Got ganked and managed to survive on only a sliver of health against Xin Zhao and Darius 1 level higher and a Xeraph 2 levels higher than me. I basically instagibed the Xeraph and just went to town spinning on the others.

Here.

For Mid Champs To get you out of Bronze: Annie, Ryze, Akali, Ziggs, Katarina, Pantheon, Lux I prefer Akali since no one in bronze can deal with her plus one she reaches 6. Damn.

Silver: Akali, Talon, Syndra, Ziggs, Annie, Pantheon. I prefer Annie, Ziggs (If you can play him) Akali can carry you out of silver you just gotta farm till 6 roam and I guess that's it.

Gold: Akali, Talon, Zed (Maybe), Annie, Ziggs, Syndra, Katarina. I prefer Game Breaking Champs Like Annie, Kat, Ziggs or Syndra.

Top All I know is Renekton is still good. Riven is good as well. Irelia my god If you're ahead you stay ahead. Nasus. Farm. No Gnar lol.

If you're forced to support. I still love Annie Support It carried me to Platinum. Thresh, Braum and Alistar, and Morgana are good supports.
Silver 5 is easy. Just play champs that can carry. OP champs.

Riven carried me to gold. Tryndamere is also a really great pick. Irelia, Mao and Ryze as well. Those are the best top laners IMO.

Ryze is pretty strong relatively all game, and he's a terror late game too.
His range helps him usually semi bully most top laners.
Additionally, his skill set is just point and click, making him a reasonably easy champion to pick up.

When smurfing in that league, I just stick to hyper carries like Katarina. If you learn how to play her properly, you can carry most games quite easily because of how ridiculously strong she gets.

Katarina and caitlyn.

For katarina, you let the teamfight break out, watch for the moment of pure chaos, and jump in with your ult.

For caitlyn you bully the hell out of your opponent level 1. keep up the CS lead, push the waves super fast, and mow down the bruisers from 650 range away.

depends what you wanna do, for splitpushing and dueling cancer cat is ridiculously op right now, her early game damage on her execute is too strong right now, if you want tanky utility gor for ali/mao, imho tho the best way to climb is to pick champ you are comfortable with, specially at our elo where its not about who gets ahead but more about who gets caught, and the more comfortable you are with a champ the less likely thats going to be you.

I got my friend from Bronze 2 to Gold V strictly playing Yasuo and Morgana for everything.

in this meta, tanky top laners are really good; mao'kai and alistar are the top two champs right now. (imo)

Talon's pretty good right now but he's also high risk. Don't play him if you're one of those people that have the I-Need-To-Go-Ham syndrome. Comparable to Lee Sin Q syndrome.

Trundle is always an under-appreciated pick.
Garen isn't going to be bursting down enemies, but he sure as hell isn't going to be bursted down either. He's one of those champions that gets stupidly tanky and unkillable after a point unless there's somebody to deal with him 24/7.
Wukong is also quite annoying to face.
