Junglers, you need to learn what a TOP LANER is!!!!! (for those looking to really climb)

(My Rank means nothing in this post. I constantly observe and watch pro players or high elo players and I have discussed this with friends of mine who got me into the game who are either current or former Master/Diamond players who agree with my believes with the current pace of the game.)

Let me give you a quick run down on what is going on in top lane, because we all know that the balance team says that they "evaluate" the role, when in reality it's just a spit in the face from them and most Junglers could care less what the lane is. No, this is not some Hashinshin rant where i'm going to say ADC's are petty babies and mid laners are greedy scums. I love my mid laner's and bot lane can most def expect me to Sion or Shen ult down to them because I love me a fed ADC. But junglers......oh....oh boy you need to hear me out.

Top lane, and i can't stress this enough, IS THE MOST IMPORTANT LANE TO HAVE CONTROL IN!!! Here is why. Yes you can gank your adc a thousand times and make it too the point where the enemy adc isnt even worth 100g, but thats actually not even worth. Because now you have to try and work your way to killing the tank/bruiser that you left unattended, who now has his or her resistances built up (god forbid they somehow have a kill lead) and the enemy ADC just has to farm for a bit to catch up. You want to actually look to play around the top side of the map early into the game because there is so much utility up there that you can force the enemy team to waste. This doesn't mean gank only once and this doesn't mean camp. It just means you need to give the same amount of attention as you do to any other lane. Most top laner's are standstill no dash sacks of beef. Current leading top lanes like Urgot, Sion, Aatrox, Shen, Ornn, Poopy are all very vulnerable to early ganks. If you gank a top laner pre lvl2, like right after you get a buff. You can most of the time force out a flash, or get a kill and force them to tp, or both. After doing so, and providing your laner with a fresh ward so they can save theirs for the first slot, you will be shocked by how much control on the map you will get from repeating this a few times. Doing this will force one of 3 things, the enemy jungler will feel impelled to gank once or twice with hopes to secure the control back, the enemy top lane will never be able to catch up and you can repeat gank (unless they some sort of god), or your top laner will just have so much of a lead that they can 2v1 and hold their own which most top laners in the current and what looks like future meta can do so. You also get the freedom to invade and control the rift herald when it spawns. Almost all top laners are ready for a brawl in the jungle so with the importance of scuttle crab, having a top lane in control is so helpful when you want help to secure a quick 2v1 kill in the river. This varies, but it is happening more often now and having your laner able to get there first will really make an impact. This also makes the swap so much more worth it. You shouldn't spend all your time top, just enough time. You're gonna gank bot because....well why wouldn't you? Always get your adc something. But if you win that gank and finish off the tower, then swaping the lanes will put your team at such a high advantage. Top doesn't care about getting a turret. It's nice to, but we are here to fight and be that cc train up front. Not sit around hitting minions for 5 minutes.

I know a fair amount of you are thinking, 'this guy has no clue what he is talking about." Well thats because i can bet you don't play top lane, and you don't want to. But doing this for your top laner will make their life, your life and the teams life so much better.
