I think I'm gonna start maining top

Because I trust myself to not feed. Top laners who win hard are a godsend in soloq, because it means that the jungler doens't even have to go to that side of the map, and can focus only on mid, bot, and dragon.

Carrying from top is harder than you think.

then you start complaining about feeding bot/mid :/ "maining" a position on the map just spells trouble. you can main a champ, a type of champ, or a role. unless your jax, yi, tryndamere or riven who can split push all day despite your allies failing to get dragon a few times winning mid is also godsend because snowballing mid = early tower = huge map control, pressure to top and bot, and you can force dragon even if your jungler's not there.

tl;dr: individual lack of feeding ≠ winning

You normally want to play someone like Gnar.. Can brawl, but also fight from range. Good last hitting.

Choose Riven and mash your keyboard. You'll get fed and win. Then my team can blame me for you getting fed.

Carrying from ADC in my opinion is the easiest. Second is mid. Third is jungle and top and support kinda are just bad positions to carry from. little to no dragon control from top. you have to run TP if you want to have map pressure even then alot of times teammates dont ward for you to tp in on. Top overall isnt the greatest of places to carry from. I usually play mid or adc usually.

Thats what I try to do. Can't tell you how many times I have dominated toplane, i'm talking first blood, doubling my opponents CS, stacking ahead of schedule as Nasus, all in the same match, only to get 100 to 0'ed under my own turret at 9 minutes because a 5/0 Annie decided to pay me a visit, then immediately lose lane as a result.

In Elo hell, people don't understand that they need to build and play defensively the moment their lane opponent gets kill advantage. Of course they don't, because "Muh damages", so they get the midlaner snowballed into an unstoppable monstrosity that will instakill you regardless of how much you are destroying your lane.

All it takes for one lane to feed hard to make it impossible to win, and here in Elo hell that happens 30% of the time. Best thing you can do is find a good duo partner who knows how to play it safe and not feed the f*ck out of their opponent, it will be one less lane you have to worry about so that will improve your chances to move up more than anything else.

And before anyone else says "If your destroying your lane as top then why don't you visit mid because you are fed", well the thing about top laners is that because toplane is a sustain lane, they seem to understand how kill advantage works, and they start building defensively and playing safe the moment I get a kill over them, so I don't really get the opportunity to snowball. Mid however, keeps charging in and trying to outdamage their opponent while they are down 2 kills, not to mention the fact that midlaner's are much more capable of ganking than top laners. As a result they snowball like crazy. I don't care if I got literally 100% CS by 10 minutes, there is literally nothing I can do about a 6/0 midlaner.
