Top lane is still the same mess
Stopped playing the game (other than TFT for rewards) and this was ages ago. Top lane is still the same as when I left. Ruled by ranged champs. Figured i'd practice a bit just so I can reach gold for rewards early in the season so being my main I choose top lane.
In the lobby all I ever see is:
First pick top lane?: Picks ranged champ because if they pick a melee they get hard countered by a ranged one Last pick top lane?: Picks ranged champ because why not abuse your advantage to do damage with little to no punishment
The main issue I see with this is ranged champs getting either cc or mobility sometimes both.
Last I checked in most games a CARRY is the one who dishes our damage. They don't fly around the map like an assassin nor do they immobilize people like a tank or "disruption" w/e you want to call it would.
Instead in league you have someone like
who has both a cc (charm) and mobility (3 dashes and flash because who doesn't take that) and don't get me started on that "skillshot" crap because cooldowns and mana cost have left this game at this point
Not to say ahri is the one in top lane but she's an example.
Really wish this problem would get fixed, i'd much rather the slug fest boring top lane of tank vs tank or bruiser vs bruiser
