Something I tend to notice.

Is it me, or does top lane seem almost... stress free, compared to mid lane or especially duo bot lane? Every time I've played duo bot, I've always felt uncomfortable not only working with someone in my lane, but also trying to avoid getting duo ganked by the two enemies. Then there's mid, where you have to guess which side the jungler is going to try and gank you from not the mention the extreme assortment of OP mid champs this season who can potentially kill you in 4-5 hits if you misstep. With top most of your enemies don't hit as hard, most of them can't harass you as easily, and you worry about the occasional gank attempt but have pretty good room to juke and escape. Does anyone else feel like top is surprisingly easy and comfortable to lane in?

unless you can't 1v1 the top lane and he keeps pushing while your jungle never helps and the enemy nasus 1 shots your inhibitor... and everyone blames you

but I agree it can be less stressful depending on matchup. Yorick top is quite dull

Darius and Mundo aren't that scary, Mordekaiser's a joke, Renekton falls off late game, Trundle is worthless, and Yorick has fallen off the meta.

Darius is death for any melee. Mundo is a late game freak. Mordekaiser is nigh untouchable at mid/close range. Renekton can fall off if he has a bad lane, but if he gets ahead he's pretty much a monster. Trundle is a late game friggen beast. And while you're right Yorick is no where to be seen in the meta, he's still pretty crazy once he gets his build going.

You accidentally placed junglers in top lane. There ya go.
