Maybe it's because I play exclusively top

Tychusfindlay918··6 votes·540 views

But if I'm playing a lane bully against (insert better scaling champ here) then there's nothing I can do to not get ganked and bully (insert scaling champ here) at the same time.

"Just play safe"

"Just ward up"

"Just dont shove the wave"

Whew boy, because when I'm playing a matchup where I'm incentivized to put the other laner into the dirt or lose I can totally just play safe and not even do so much as soft shove otherwise I have to back off for multiple waves. What can bully champions do if they can't establish leads in the critical phase of lane which is usually levels 2-3 which are the levels you're saying to back off the lane entirely and not make yourself a gank target. If you're not forcing the (insert scaling champ here) to lose CS or back off because he got harrassed hard and is in danger of an all-in by the time you're both reaching level 6 then why even play a bully? Darius getting picked once in the LCS means NOTHING. Picking a bully and having one's own jungler ensure that he'll win the lane is a scenario that will rarely if ever exist in non-competitive play. So you mean to tell me that the lane bully is incapable of doing his job of bullying unless if his jungler babysits him? This is why passive play scaling fighter champions and tanks are STILL dominating top lane.

What are lane bullies supposed to do then? Just not get picked in champ select? There's a reason why fighter mains have complained about scaling fighters and tanks getting away with lane too easily and top lane being awful to play. I'm expected to bully the other laner, but at the same time I'm expected to constantly ward and play safe for fear of even soft shoving the wave?

Absolute bullshit.

Geee I love when silver players make threads commanding people on how to play a lane correctly. Then the other low elo sheeps upvote them without taking the time to truly digest what exactly it is they're reading.

And no this isn't my main account.

You're a Darius main, he's broken, you can 1v2 easily and if you win that 1v2 you can 1v5. GG.

I just all in Darius every time as soon as I hit level 2 and never lose.

Here is the proof. https://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2730009116/209287161?tab=builds

This Darius even had ignite and I still beat him at level 2.

got ganked 3 times in a row by a shyvana sitting in my bush.

i got mad and didnt type anything.

what do i see after 2 of the ganks?

my jungle skarner that hasnt come once literally run into 2 people and die twice to my laner then never come again.

i just couldnt think after that. i worked my ass off so the shyvana gets the kil so the top cant snowball as hard and all he has to do is walk in and fuck me over and lose nothing for it because his jungle camps are up and nothing can prevent him from taking it.

what a complete mess this game has become.

1 awful player decides if i play my lane or not .

so sick of riot removing player skill and focusing more on lcs style solo queue games that will never fucking happen.

the skarner instantly left after the game and gets to queue up and ruin more games while i sit angry knowing i just got fucked over for 30 minutes by a degenerate with no sympathy.

You might want to consider finding something in your life other than League that makes you happy, since the game is emotionally devastating you far too much.

Then yeah, play safe. It's super expensive to camp a lane, so you acoomplished something, you put the enemy jungler behind.

It's not as expensive as it used to be.

What a fucking myth.

Yea, the passive gold you get from standing in a bush is way better now than it used to be.

Important camps cleared easily, respawn is long enough, you got all the time in the world.

There isn't really anything I or anyone else can say that could otherwise rectify or appease you. Sad truth is, there is only two possible outcomes. It's your fault, or it's not.

If it is the former, then you need to look inward and see what you're doing that makes you so vulnerable. Ganking is expensive and accomplishing nothing is a massive failure. So if the jungler can consistently and reliably gank you and get a kill or flash, then he's seeing something your not.

If it isn't your fault, and you did everything within reason. (You warded river, didn't tower dive, kept an eye on the mini map, etc...) Then as frustrating as it is, it would be better to just roll with the punches. Don't bother playing the blame game with your teammates as all that does is ostracizes you and tilts your team. Just make a mental note of who's falling behind and don't rely on that champ to get you out of trouble.

Meta is a thing. Currently top lane "lane bullies" are garbage. There's a reason none of them are getting picked - it's because they're trash. Meta swings up and down. What do you do when you pick a champ that is currently trash? Realize that you picked a crap champ and don't do it next game. Lol.
