Top lane in 2k18 LUL

I don't think I will even try to play top lane this season, it has less than 5% impact on the outcome of the game, and this is reduced to 0 if the enemy team has a Vayne. Bruiser items are way too expensive despite being outscaled by adc's at the 3 item mark. 3 adc items is 8600 while 3 bruiser items is 10433, meaning a bruiser has to win lane to be on par with the enemy adc. However, adc's typically get higher gold income since there are 2 enemies to feed off of instead of one that is possibly a tank that you can't kill to a ranged that makes you miss cs.

Top lane still exists, you just have to accept the fact that you have to play balanced champions like Maokai , Ornn,Gangplank if you want to win. Or if you are feeling like a real asshole Teemo ,Heimerdinger ,Kennen ,Jayce .

Meanwhile bruisers can typically burst down a target while tanking 2-3 opponents with 1 bruiser item, whereas marksmen typically need 2 full items to deal reliable damage.

Have you ever seen a jax or irelia with triforce? Or a jarvan or renekton with black cleaver? They typically 1v2 all the other roles with ease.

I don't think the top lane choices are going to matter.

I'm more worried about what I've been encountering in regular games - an influx of level-up bots, people who go AFK for the slightest reason, people who feed repeatedly because they want to go play another game with their friends, being good enough to get constantly 2vs1'd top because your jungler is dying to raptors at level 5 while theirs already got a dragon and ganked all three lanes twice, and the most broken five champions in the game remaining broken.

Worried about Vayne are we? Okay, free advice. Play Garen - build death's dance and 2 armor items. You'll tank 14 turret shots and 3 of her W's and regenerate it all back ten seconds later. Or, you can use XinZhao and do about 1,200 damage in 3 seconds and heal all your health back. Even better, throw MasterYi up there so he can show Vayne what a really broken champ can do when he tanks 90% of his health and regains it all back with 2 shots and a meditate under her own damn turret.

I've been Vayne top and fought her top. Against people like Garen, Yi, Tryndamere, and Yasuo I -want- Vayne because she destroys them. Frankly, I'm glad the mains of those champs are starting to get worried because its about time they sweat for a change early game instead of destroying anything in their path.
