The worst part about top lane is junglers repeat ganking

There is a lot wrong with top lane this season and yeah, the top tier champs for top are cancer, but what really makes the lane miserable for me is junglers that just non-stop repeat gank top lane. Top use to be "the island" and now I just feel like it's whoever gets the jungler pressure wins, so I just stopped playing this lane and moved to mid/support where I can at least play safe with a shorter lane and a lane with 2 people to help each other.

I don't know how people can stand to play top lane this season, it makes me want to KMS

I feel you as a jungler, a lot of games it feels like I'm either camping top or the enemy jungler is camping my top laner

I really hate toplane nowadays so don't get me wrong but seriously, jungle ganks are not a problem right now - it's actually quite the opposite.

Toplane as a lane is so irrelevant right now that it's just not worth to gank anyways. The difference between a toplane main on a carry and an autofilled tank in lane is negligible. That's why nowadays you have to roam instead of caring about the lane as the result of the lane is practically irrelevant anyways (although I do admit that getting an early tower is helpful - so that you can freely leave top).

The worst is when the enemy team's top and jg are duo, which happens way too frequent these days. And they make you consider the prospect of getting a noose after suffering through them as their opponent, if your team doesn't catch up the game and camp the lane as well.

Because half the top laners don't understand that between 2 30 and 3 00 the jungler will look to gank you if you're pushed up when starting on the other side of the map.

Out of curiosity are you familiar with the jungler role? I find that all the laners who complain about their ganking patterns never have actually played the role to a good level.

We all know to ward at around 3 minutes, it's when they fail gank and then come back again and again till I want to kill myself. They could not kill me at all between 3-4 ganks and I'd still be behind because they are zoning me from CS and XP while it barely effects them thanks to how jungle works.

At least when I am mid I can play safe without screwing myself off of XP and bot lane you have a plenty of vision and CC to survive off most ganks.
