Help With ranked- Top Lane

Fatalitý··1 votes·625 views

I was Gold 5 last season looking to climb back to Gold this year then stop playing ranked. I got placed in SIlver 3 and so far I have won a game to put me at 26 LP then lost 2 games to put me back at 0 LP. This post is basically if any top lane main could help me out figure out the problems I am having so far that I have noticed.

My Farm- I usually play tanks in top lane but when I can I will play fighters or carrys that being said if you look at my match history my farm is absolutely horrible I have noticed this because I usually only get to farm during laning phase then when the team wants to group they always need to tank there to engage and keep them safe, what can I do after laning phase to keep my farm high? usually when I go to a lane the enemies just start pushing and the team needs me.

Teamfights- Another problem I am noticing is during team fights I am not sure who to focus, A couple games ago I played nautilus and I always ulted the enemy adc and killed her during the fight I then turn around to notice all the carrys on my team are getting slaughtered by the enemy team and I don't have enough damage to stop them. In teamfights if I am the only tank on my team should I be peeling the adc or do what I did which was going for the enemy adc?

Roaming- When I get ahead in lane I like to roam mid or teleport bot trying to get a kill or dragon but when I roam though the enemy laner usually gets caught back up in cs and I have to stay top again to make sure he can't get a lead. I know decision making is usually the key to roaming when and when not too but is there any advise out there from when it is the best time to roam during laning?

If any one can help me out with my questions that would be great, thanks!

something that i found really good was to take the one mastery that reduces summoner spell cooldowns, and the distortion enchantment and optionally the ionian boots of lucidity. that way you can split push more often without having to worry about being there to group since your tp is on a much shorter cooldown. that should help you out a lot with farming.

I will be sure to try that in a couple games to see if it helps I forgot about that mastery

In some match up. you're not going to get much cs if your lane opponent counter you

So what you need to do is let the enemy push it into your turret and freeze it by being able to last hit and take every minion you can When the enemy push it to you, it doesn't mean you power push it back or else they will just freeze it and deny you cs all again. Just think of it as you're playing Nasus
