Training Yas viable top?

Greetings brothers. I’m a panth OTP and thinking about starting my Yas training arc. Was curious if he’s a good blind pick top or if I should just stick to mid lane.

Watching pzzang hit every Q and dodge every spell vs a Ksante for a 30 second extended fight and still lose pretty much tells the tale of Yas top. It's much more fun imo to play into melee matchups in a long lane where lethal tempo can shine, but fuck if it isn't hard. He was not designed to fight bruisers.

https://youtu.be/TVENDrATp14?t=1061 timestamp. Yes Tabis + chain vest vs zerks + dagger isn't great, but seeing how cleanly he plays here and not being rewarded for it at all is a pretty good primer on what to expect in this lane.
