Here is what I feel playing toplane

As a support main, who sometimes plays jungle and top, it feels really miserable to switch to toplane.

I feel like whoever gets the better pick wins, the vision I get is insanely limited(even if I buy pinks, the opponent jg is just gonna clear it right away). I put my 2nd ward down, without a pink I have to wait 2:30 mins for another ward. Because of counterpick meta, it's also a lot of feast or famine.

And at the end of the day you have the least fun, cuz it's rare that you carry teamfights.

Most of the game you interact with your lane and the opponent jungler.

Botlane is fun, tons of possible duos that make for great interactions and outplays, mid is fun, itis "the carry role" and also has the best champions picks.

Jungle is fun based on your macro and mechanics. You have to interact with everyone. Toplane, bottom tier in the fun department. Braindead juggernauts, ranged cancer, overpowered skirmishers like Jax, Fiora, Irelia, Trynda. And also tanks are unplayable top, you legit get ourscaled before you have any impact.

The biggest problem with top, if you play melee vs melee and you are not tank its very risky. The two melee just starts beating each other and one wins with 5% hp. Its like playing a russian roulette. Plus balance differences can be felt here the most. It also requires a lot of matchup knowledge since some champs just beat others on specific levels.

And also its the most jungle dependent lane. Its also because of melee effect. If your champ mobile its pretty easy to kill enemy with gank. But if you play mobile champ and your jg dont gank the immobile champ whipes you out of lane. The best example might be Camille for me. Best engage, but if you cant count on ganks you lose all matchups.

Ranged matchups dont have these bad effects. Usually you can farm safely any time, backing on some bad MU's also very easy. Thats why i personally like to play only tanks on top. It would be fun to play some more damage oriented melee champ. But its unreliable and risky so its not fun.

So you get autofilled top and expect to win lane with the lowest risk, most braindead role in the game (tanks)?

Lol.

The only way to have fun playing top lane is playing Teemo Yes at the expense of others but unless you want to play some unbalanced thing just go Teemo, balanced and fun(for you at least) The previous Garen was alos fun, but then rito does reworks noone asked for, so rito ruined Garen into a broken, OP, one shot, no skill, RNG, conqueror abuser, toxic, unhealthy champion soo... RIP having fun with Garen
