Ranged Top Laners, and How Painful it is
Yesterday, I ran into another ranged top laner, and, since I was playing Darius, it was very hard to farm, forcing me to fall behind, and the whole time, the entire enemy team was watching top, making sure I never got any sort of lead. Jinx ults, Vi ganks mixed with Urgot ults, Jinx coming top.
Usually i'd play Pantheon into ranged match ups, being the lane bully god he is. But seeing as I had no idea i'd be up against a ranged top laner, I picked Darius.
Although I said nothing in chat besides ranged top laners are stupid, I was tilting so hard in reality.
Being a player of all the lanes, I run into many strange and interesting match ups. Ranged top laners are neither, they're painful to lane against as a Juggernaut, especially Quinn and Vayne, divers don't have to many problems with them, aside from a few.
Being someone used to playing a melee champ in the top lane, ranged top laners are very difficult, and yes ranged top laners have been around from the very beginning, Teemo, Ryze, yada yada, some of those old ranged top laners don't have a disengage that send you a couple to a few hundred units from them
As much as I want for there to be a system prohibiting ranged champions from going top, it's not likely a solution like that may exist. We either pray the Juggernauts and tanks get something, anything to stop this, or we wait for the inevitable top lane being a ranged lane as well
even
and so on.


already...like c'mon it's not hard to increase it's single-target damage reduction by a few more points
