It's way too easy to gank top lane

Many of the fighters up there are immobile, and on top of that the lane is very long. Junglers these days also tend to have really good gank abilities/paths which makes it almost impossible for an immobile champion to escape -- vision or no vision. I've been playing Aurelion Sol midlane and honestly the difference is astounding. Avoiding ganks is SO much easier there, because of the short lane, and with how many escape paths you get (plus the champs there tend to be more mobile). As for bot lane, they have a ton of wards to work with, and support peel generally makes it easier to avoid ganks. A good amount of adcs have their own escapes too.

So please, I hope you consider giving top laners (especially juggernauts) more agency over their lane, cause right now, it honestly feels like the jungler can just get a free gank off, regardless of what you do to prepare.

If you pick a top laner and jungler with CC you can literally instagib the other top during CC it's fucking disgusting and you can't even ward properly because of the ward limit. There is zero counterplay to it. It's fucking disgusting.

Hell I was killed from 100% health at level 3 by a single combo from a level 4 lee sin. The enemy laner didn't even hit me because they were at 10 hp and would die if they came into my range. A SINGLE fucking combo and I died.

The damage in this game right now is retarded and I hope whoever balances the game for riot gets punched in the break room for failing at his job.

That really, really sounds like a personal problem. Ward correctly and watch your map and you wont get ganked easy.

Out of the 3 lanes, top is the easiest to gank by a small margin.

Is it a free gank? Depends on the laner, but it's definitely not free if they know what their doing.

Do you even jungle bro?
