Top Lane vs Bot Lane

U R Good At Game·7/26/2019, 2:04:38 PM·2 votes·1,967 views

I feel like whenever I go top vs any other role, I am directly playing against my bot lane. Whenever I go top, If I cannot make the enemy top feed as hard as our bot lane we lose because in general, a support + adc combo can peel and shred most top laners. Usually it's mid's job to shut them down. There are exceptions of good anti-ADC tops but in general a fed support + adc can pretty easily kill a top off.

So it gets kind of frustrating to be 4+-0 every game by 10m but to see our botlane combined is like 1-8 so we lose. Even if I TP down and wipe bot, our bot just dies as soon as I go back up. I'm the furthest on the map, I can't win the lane for them. Then if I offer a lane swap, they feed the top so now 3 ppl are fed.

Any other top laners feels like a spectator unable help to a bot?

Good joke. Top lane is literally the only role that matters. What’s that? You have a 13/2 jinx. Too bad we have a renekton that went even and still kills her.

Oh? You have a fed kog’maw, one of the highest damaging champions in the game? Too bad the 2/4 irelia instant kills him.

So you went with mobility and now have a fed Lucien? (Laughs in Riven )

Imagine my feeling when the enemy Aatrox/Riven/Jax/Renekton gets turbo fed by "XxYasuoGuyxX" and now no matter my lead they will run at me through my support and insta gib me.

I just came back to the game. Played from launch a few years when there were like 90 champs around only. Anyone i figured i would start a smurf account since im rusty, but my god does it ever get better?

I main Mid and always happen to be with the feeding botlane. Jungler usually doesnt have time to help mid nor top because bot is constantly dieing. No mather how well you do in laning you get shredded by AD carry with 15 kills when the game hits 20 minutes.

Ive been getting really tilted the last days leaving laning phase facing YI´s and Garen´s with 13+ kills from the laningphase that are basically unkillable. Kiting or CC or even building items depending on the enemy team doesnt seem to be done anymore unless you are at higher ELO.

I doubt you have feeders every game unless you're in very low ELO. What's probably happening is there's no proper counter pressure being applied. Bot lane gets hit the worst with ganks because the side that falls usually takes the game with them.

I'm gold and in bot lane, and I've never seen 1-8 by 10 minutes unless you have a troll. Games are over by 1-3 in this meta.

Top lane is largely detached from the rest of the game until it is time to group. The only time you're going to see top and bot meet most of the time is if the top laner is ahead and they TP bot, or you get a GP ult bot. Something like that.

I've noticed so many top laners completely unaware what's happening at the rest of the map because it's so easy to tune out and only care about what's happening in yours.

Bot lane and mid lane on the other hand are very dependent on one another because the mage/assassin that wins that lane is going to go bot for the infamous 4 man gank. If bot lane can't dominate their enemy laner, then the mid is going to fix that, and vice versa too. If the mid laner isn't dominating their lane, then the bot lane is going to go mid after taking tower.

Basically, bot lane is gank city because there's a carry there and the dragon. When bot lane falls it is usually because the jungler decided to blow all the pressure on top lane while the enemy jungler caused havoc across the map and got all the dragons, or they just AFK farmed.

If you want to stop a spiraling situation, then being a top lane main isn't the best place to be.

Anyways, if you're ganked 4-5 times without any help, then something's gotta give, it is either they're going to die or they're going to lose two towers.

The other issue with botlane that raises the stakes is supports like Pyke Yuumi . does an absurd amount of damage on a support income. Pyke has so much utility, safety, and damage. He's just so overloaded. Yuumi has an oppressive poke while being incredibly safety.

These are all ban worthy picks for the bot lane, and their ban rates are all high, but so are their pick rates. If you ban one, another is gonna probably pop up. You can shut them down yourself. I typically do, but your room for error against these supports is incredibly small which is stressful, so a gank is best. If you screw up, then your lane is over.

So just have 2 supps. Top and bot then and no jungler. You don't have to have a jungler just saying. You'll see me do it I'm a troll you see a pro do it it's "meta" lol 😂
