Top Lane Is Depressing

It feels lonely - yet not lonely enough. You are pretty seperate from the game so the only thing you really have is winning the 1v1, yet you can't really play agressive and push an advantage in lane because as soon as you overextend the slightest bit, their bloody jungler will camp your ass.

And even if you somehow can get a nice lead, unless you're snowballing really out of controll, it will have next to no impact unless the rest of the game is even. But if one botlane has a lead, top just doesn't matter, you could be heavily behind and get carried by your fed bot, or far ahead and get dumbstered by their bot...

me in toplane:

wait, we have a jungler? we have a midlaner?

WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY LANE?

I understand your pain. When your a fed illaoi and noone wants to come top unless its 3 or more....even then they dnt come close for a friendly hug.[zombie-nunu-bummed]

Am the only one to see other bot lane when they rekt mine, but when my bot lane win... they stay bot [zombie-brand-mindblown]

Toplane.... spectator lane and gamble lane

I'm not to bothered by it so long as the Jungler shows up every once and a while. What bothers me more is when the other 2 lanes are gone and my lane is the only one that hasn't fallen yet, cause I know the inevitable 5 man gank top is coming O_o

I'm almost never alone in top lane. Unless we are referring to my teammates... Enemy jungler is almost ALWAYS there if I'm not hugging my tower.

You know whats lonelier that that? Being jungle without a lane to gank and you can't 1v1 the enemy jungler. There's NOTHING to do! You can't counterjungle because you can't fight enemy jg, you can't gank because even though towers suck they don't suck enough in the first 10 minutes for you to dive without major risk (I'm grateful though) and if you can't solo a major objective it's literally like your team is playing with you on the Kench bench.

Done worry there is always a Lee Sin ready to cheer you up :)

What is there to discuss?

Riven and fiora run rampant and while people do care about fiora no one bats an eye at riven.

People are retarded. Oh yeah, better nerf darius.

It's not lonely for my games. 80% of the time (yes 80) the enemy jungler is ganking me, whether or not my lane is pushed, frozen, or @ tower.

They'll dive. I'll waste summoners or die. They'll use summoner spells. I'll ping that their flashes are down. My jungler will be 0-2 while their's is 5-0-2.

Quite standard.

When I do have someone gank for me and camp my lane (if it's the right play), I honour them every single time.

At least dealing with a toxic Riven/Yasuo main is more tolerable than dealing with a prideful and toxic ADC main. Or being blamed for everything as the jungler.

Everytime I play that lane i gett he same " this is boring" feeling. the champs arent boring, the 1v1s arent boring. what's boring is that typically when i get autofilled to it if im behind it feels like an island, and if im ahead the enemy top laner stops wanting to fight and it just becomes a farm fest or a camping trip. that shits so boring :P

I actually enjoy the private time I have with the other laner ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Top lane is either 1v1 for the first 20 minutes or 2v2/2v1

I play yasuo top, people hates me its already depressing enough, so its ok to be alone in my case :/

Yea it's great xD

I honestly prefer top. Less to manage you mainly just focus on the match up, the jungler and maybe a tp gank.

Top lane is lonely you say? Let's see what some toplaners have to say. : "All I need is this ax, and this gun, and this hat" : "The dead are my company" : "No one top lane? It's a Christmas miracle!"

Top lane has always been depressing, but at least there used to be a grim manly pleasure in it.

Now it's just pick Fiora/Kled/Renekton/Riven/Pantheon or lose. Ranged stuff is less prevalent in this meta (Quinn, Kennen, Jayce etc. are all awful to play against but you don't see them anymore). There's no

Playing a tank is a gamble based on how many ganks you get and whether itemization doesn't just fuck you over from the get-go.

I kind of love it when I get to feel lonely. Nothing but me and my opponent duking it out to see who can get into the best position come mid-game. It's great.

Usually however, it's just us poking at each other and hoping that the enemy jungler doesn't sit just outside our ward's sight range.

The goal is to chat it up with the enemy Jungler. With how good the enemy team is doing, they're likely as lonely as you are. sob

Play vs me - there is an 80%+ chance your jungler visits at lvl 2 for us; lvl 3 for him. If he fails, he will gank again - probably making a y play. If he really hates me, you will have a friend for pretty much 15+ minutes. Well, unless I get counter-ganks and kill him. Will that solve your loneliness?

top lane its a sad lane of the game where its hard play because of the distance in the all map or the others lanes, the top players should have more participation in the map but its hard balanceat that
