Just sit under your turret like a bitch and pray they fuck up. Kinda about it.

Second wind rejuv beads and call your jungler when you've got cc

Build this shit item 1054 .

If you're playing a champ that runs Resolve primary or secondary or can flex Resolve then take Second Wind as well.

Dorans Shield alone makes levels 1 and 2 much less abusive to play and Second Wind bumps this up to basically being able to ignore all basic attack harass early on.


Alternatively, if you are playing anyone that has a ranged slow or hard CC consider Approach Velocity, it's an extremely underrated rune that allows you to close the gap ridiculously fast.

If you're playing someone that can run the holy anti-ranged trinity of Dorans Shield + Second Wind + Approach Velocity then you can dick on any ranged matchup.

There are basically no tips, you lost lane in champ select and have to deal with it being annoying as shit and being pretty much useless and playing under tower and getting dived for about 25 minutes, then if the rest of your team is even or ahead you will have "won" bc presumably you have a better 5v5 comp at that point. (Not true if you picked a champ with no cc or tankiness or you are against one of the dumb hyperscalers vayne/kayle)

P.s. all of those videos just say play safe and wait for ganks. Saved you about 2 hrs of your life

Most top laners shit on ranged matchups once youre familiar with how they should be played.

Play the ranged side for a while and see how easy it is for most ranged to be punished hard.

Quinn and teemo might be the exceptions, since they discourage all-ins and have relatively short cds on their "disengage".

Jayce is just ranged renekton early. Play it safe and farm. Punish mistakes.

Vlad, ryze, jayce top and youll learn how you should and shouldn't play into ranged as melee.
