I Just Want To Put This In The Best Way Possible

As a top lane main, i can no longer play the game.

every game is based on champ select, where i have to pray the enemy team doesnt pick either jayce or poppy because one of them got banned and not the other.

camille is perma banned so i dont have to see her.

jayce/poppy however? mid laners and others dont give 2 shits what happen to me top.

People need to understand with how the game is going, it doesnt matter if you wait until late game.

if you were denied cs ALL laning phase, you will be incredibly useless late game.

late game is 30 minutes now where most games end.

Top has been such an awful lane for 3 seasons now where 1 gank ends your lane and removes u off the map for 10 minutes if the enemy laner is either playing jayce/poppy/kennen or some other ranged champ.

its become so easy to get dove that i expect it nearly every game i play in high elo.

yes bot is more important but at what point in this game does riot say "wow is top lane having a tough time" and buffing item 1054?

when does riot realize 90 percent of the champs they released top were broken for 2-3 weeks before they started getting banned?

I cant wait until the day they finally nerf Poppy / Jayce where it actually matters and i can play the game knowing 2 champions didnt just decide to invalidate my entire laning phase or identity upon being picked.

Poppy needs a hotfix and she needs it now. thatchampion is beyond disgusting.

at what point can i actually hit her hp bar without ANOTHER huge shield being summoned? Jayce is actually cancer.

hes allowed to have 2 forms of skill sets that discourage any form of counterplay.

there is nothing more annoying than having to flash in the teamfight only for some FILTHY Janna 1 trick to press summoner 3 and invalidate your damage and then reduce ur armor.

and yes "muh summoner 3 stops u from being broken"

but where is the counterplay to exhaust when im the only player on my team who is not feeding his ass off and has a chance to carry? take cleanse? and lose my lane to nonstop jungle ganks with no ability to tp back?

i thought to cc someone you had to actually land something? pressing something as easy as exhaust every teamfight and just making someone useless lacks braincells and lacks counterplay.

Poppy's getting nerfs, may already have.

Jayce... I dunno. He's tough tho. Start cloth 4, you'll feel better.

Bait out exhaust, I don't really know how to do it but people say that you can.

if ur in the teamfight and in exhaust range i doubt ur getting out with how much cc everyone has now.

cloth on a damage champ feels so bad early and will negate u from being useful for a long time.

Bait it out before the teamfight then. I dunno.

Except it doesn't, it's much better than Dshield anyway. The 4 cookies are amazing against poke. It helps with your Ninja Tabi too. If you really hate it that much, longsword 3 cookies is still better than Dshield most of the time.

honestly vs jayce i think with how bad d shield is i STILL have to get it just to be able to atleast survive until level 5 without being forced out if i miss a few cs .

Exh shouldn't reduce ar/mr

Ok sure but why1 votes

Riot honestly needs to rework every "top lane" champ so they can't all slaughter poor Ashe in half a second

because when Riot makes a top-lane champ, they give them enough damage to kill other top-lane champs

poor Ashe doesn't have as much health as one of those

I just play Urgot top and can survive almost anything, except 4 man dives. Problem is some people engage in a defeatist mentality before champ select is over; "the troll pick urgot, gg". That same player feeds 6 kills in 10 min, then quits./rant

On the topic of toplane, it honestly feels pretty useless at the moment. You're almost always using tp just to stop your tower from getting shoved in and not risk missing out on huge waves of cs.
