Top Lane Has Become Too Dependant On Junglers

Top lane turns into, hope you don't get a bad matchup, hope you don't play an op champ, or somebody better than you. Which always happens, and when it does you hope to god your jungler ganks or you lose the lane, and potentially lose the game. But when you get a lead, the enemy jungler camps you and makes you lose the lane because jungle camps take 5 years to respawn, AND YOUR JUNGLER STILL DOESNT GANK. That's every game in top lane, preying for an even matchup or preying for your jungler.

just do it the easy way, when the enemy jungler comes, kill them both Renekton

I always ward my river, so I usually have good luck not dying to ganks in top lane. When I do, it's my own fault.

When your jungler begs you to leash them at top buff so you lose lane priority level 1 but you never see the jungler until after you die for the third time, then he tries to hold turret at half HP and dies.

At this point the only solution is to play jungle yourself.

From my personal experience, getting ganked by the enemy jungle, especially if I was doing well in lane is a message from the opponents they want me to stop winning my lane so hard. Basically, just ignore the death and keep on going is what I have found success with. Even if you do eventually lose your lane, your jungle ally should be able to create space elsewhere and then with your champion kit, you can help someone else to carry. Playing safe in top lane just doesn't pay off for me. Now if I'm simply dying 1 vs 1 to the enemy top lane champ only, that's a different story.

The game is too dependent on the jungler. If your jungler falls behind he is deadweight this is why "better jg wins" is a thing
