They poke u to death and if u want to disengage they just simply dash away.
Waiting for a Jungler is not a solution , why I have to be depended on a another Player? Even pros in Challenger are playing lucian toplane
Use your inherently superior stats.
As soon as you get in range they're a fucking corpse. You also generally have superior sustain, use it.
dorans shield&second wind... The only broken ranged on top are quinn,vayne,lucian If you lose vs any other champs ur trolling... Mages are irelevant since ur CAN DODGE their skillshots if ur not a monkey.
You can't.
When you are facing Adc's and Mages at Toplane, you simply rely on them having no idea what they are doing. Once, as a Ryze for example, you grasp onto your combos and stop headbutting QWE you simply can not lose vs any melee champion. Dorans shield is completely irrelevant in this meta (reaches cull levels of uselesness) because they have balanced it around you getting poked to low health and healing a extremely small portion of it back which to the current meta is useless since every single ranged pick can simply burst you on low health and as for runes, second wind aint gonna do crap, you are better off with getting bone plating so you won't get half healthed by one combo. Some, who have no idea what the heck they are talking about, say "HuR dUr RuSh DeFeNcE". Alright, how the hell am I supposed to get any farm aka any gold (other than getting future's market) to get items?! When you get close to a farm wave you not only will get comboed without being able to trade but most likely will also get stuck in your own minions which will kill you. All you can do in a melee vs ranged situation is to beg for your jungler to come. Personally when I am facing any such matchups I just say to my jungler "I will stay under tower, if you come and we kill him/her I can snowball, if you don't I lose" and then it is up to them but again, the meta is forcing junglers to play botside to get dragons which are game deciding so again, you can't blame the jungler for not ganking you.
All in all, you can't
Switch that fkin Conqueror for a Fleet Footwork you pleb. Why you still playing as if you're vsing a melee? You mad?
depends:
do you play a tank? get a armor/mr item and watch them hit you for 5 minutes without lowering your health bar much
do you play a bruiser/juggernaut/fighter/whatever you call them? get trinity or black cleaver or whatever you buy first, press q + aa on them and watch half their hp bar vanish instantly.
Depends on the match up, obviously.
When I have to deal with enemies which are outranging me, then usually I rush some resistances to withstand their damage in an all in. Most fighters have good base damages, so you can go for resistances and just all in them and they are dead. You have to play like a scaredy cat in the very early game, tho.
is underrated imo, helps you keep up with the kiters
You are saying nothing on this post.
Depends on which melee champ you are playing and against which ranged champ you are playing.
Your post is as general and useless as asking: how do I win games ?
This heavily depends on what champion you're playing. Some like Irelia have the right tools to engage, others don't.
If you mean Ryze, he's just way overturned.
Can't vouch for other mages, but a Fiora, Camille, Kled, Irelia or Riven vs Annie is a sad day for Annie. Jump on top of her and she is easy toast with a side of milk.
It's match up dependant, as most melees though you basically can't do anything until the enemy laner makes a mistake. I've had most success playing 
and sometimes I pick mid lane champions like 
and 
top.
You can try to force them into a position where they make a mistake. You can freeze your lane and stand in the wave, if they get greedy and try to get cs they get in your engage range and you kill them. But if they are smart and don't theres nothing you can do without jungle help.
If you play toplane, go to the toilet and wipe ur anus for 20 mins
Otherwise, hug turret / farm jungle and buy tank items
