How to deal with ranged Top laners
I wanted to take this opportunity to explain some concepts about ranged top laners and who to deal with them. I'm not the best at the game but I am pretty good at countering this type of cheap tactic. I'd love to know your thoughts and what you do!
- (Last-hitting) This is when you go in to attack. When you see one of YOUR mins low he's going to try and last hit it. This is your opportunity to attack because you know he's not targeting you. This takes some practice but its effective.

- (Use bushes) This is a given but I did this all the time on Teemo. I'd usually grab a pink ward to start. Then I'd go in&out of the bushes last hitting mins. Then I'd hide in the bushes and wait for him to come in and I'd smash that A$$!! If he wards the bush I'd switch to the other. I love to play this game. note: This is very effective with Sion because your enemy can't see his Q charging up while in brushes.
Tips:
-
(Freeze the wave) If you don't know how to freeze a wave I suggest looking on Youtube or this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjD2rGFua8s This will ensure proper wave control and safety early game. Also by doing this, you force your opponent in a bad spot to get ganked.

(wait: till mid game) Ranged are good early game but mid game is where you shine as a tanky top laner. When you hit above lvl 7-8 you can start diving on the enemy top whilst ignoring his pokes. You're too tanky for him at this point.
