What is going on with top lane?

Out of the past 40 games+, only a literal handful of top laners win lane on my team. They always feed. Am i just cursed? Are a majority of players autofilled? I really don't get it. The statistics from my games is far too skewed to say otherwise. It's getting quite ridiculous. Keep in mind i just came back last month after a 6 month break.

...So....what about your Jayce..? I'm sorry if this offends you but you also get bad games. Don't just blame it all on your teammates.

Top is not in a great place right now, at least in my opinion.

Most top lane games are

  1. A melee top laner (picked first likely) vs. a ranged top laners. RESULT: Ranged top laner makes life miserable, probably gets a couple kills, at worst ends up with 30+ cs lead.

  2. Two ranged top laners, RESULT: Plays mostly like mid lane, dependent on junglers and individual skill.

  3. Two melee top laners, RESULT: I'll tell you when this happens again, been going on a couple weeks now.

Worlds has just compounded the issue, if it isn't aftershock lissandra it's kleptomaniac viktor.

The thing is, a lot of top laners don't WANT to play those champs, if we did, we would play mid, but as it stands, playing our usual stables of champs (bruisers, tanks, etc.) pretty much ensure a one way ticket to get-your-head-kicked-in-ville.

So yeah, don't depend on top lane right now, it's a crapshoot.
