The game needs some class work

Games suppose to revolve around a series of checks and balances. Range>tank,bruiser, assassin>range,burst mage, tank>bruisers,assassin, bruised> squishies. The problem is though there is a pretty big despairty in the power gaps and effectiveness of each role. As it stands top lane is by far the weakest role with the least impact on the game. The majority of the roster apart from Jax and Kayle lack the strength needed to survive and be impactful in the late game which is an issue. The power a mage, adc and assassin posses is far too great through out the games entirety vs the tank and bruiser. This concept of falling off isn’t something that should exist in the game and instead only be factored in when you die in game. In all honesty something needs to be done to make the game healthier and give each lane a chance to carry rather then it only being the 3 primary roles mid,jung,and adc. If anything defensive stats need more impact as the roles of the tank and bruiser become more blurred since they start dropping off all around and losing impact. If anything bruisers and tanks need more resistance all around so their presence can be felt especially one that has done well cause being after 15 min you tend to get get weaker as bruiser (unless your Jax,riven, and mundo) we need a good phase out stage where defensive strength increases highly toward the later levels

Maokai, Poppy, Sion, Garen, Nasus, Gangplank, Aatrox (along with Mundo, Jax, and Riven like you mentioned) all have usefulness late game (and even game changing plays available). What champion in particular are you mad about not being able to carry from top with?

Top lane isn't a role. It just a lane. Top lane is impactful, bruisers aren't.

Honestly I feel like as a tank your max resistance by leveling alone should be 200 armor and 150 mr by 18 that way your items and hp stacking feel more impactful but as it is your always paper thin. There are a lot of items out there with pen or champs with true dmg so at least if your survivability was naturally higher its feel somewhat fair. bruisers should also get some amour and mr buffs, of course not to tank status but close since their roles are similar with them being more dmg focused. a bruisers job is to burst early/tank later so they need a bit of help since they are in the middle. If riot isn't doing this cause it'll create a league of turret dive then just make the greatest levels of growth at 12-18 where grouping begins.

plenty of carries you can play top lane.

If you aren't high elo (diamond3+) you can even just go ADC/MAge top lane and be fine with it. If you don't like those classes, there is always Fiora Tryndamere Yorick Gangplank Vladimir
