So what do you do when you get completely crapped on top lane?

What do you do when the enemy top completely out skills you gets that first kill then wont even let you leave turret or you die and then starts killing you under turret every time you get back to lane since its recall or die? Jungler will not gank no matter how much you ask them to and enemy jg comes top to help bully the lane even more what do you do? Just bend over and take the L? Abandon lane and look to pressure elsewhere making your teammates instantly flame you? What do you do?

Asking this as a legit question because i do not know what to do in this situation and would like advice no need to downvote it. That is not constructive at all

Abandon the lane and pressure another part of the map.

Think about it. As soon as they knock your tower down, they will have to roam, becuase they can no longer farm CS without pushing down so far that they will be shut down.

So when they leave, you can freeze lane under your tower and CS in peace.

Note. This only works if your opponent isn't fed enough to 1v3 or something. Then you just unleashed a monster on your team.

Makes since but what about those teams that will seriously not even stop him from taking the second turret and just avoid top like its the plague since there are no ez kills there? Like if i roam he will push all the way to inhib and team will flame me for abandoning top but if i stay he continues pushing me out of lane or turret diving with the enemy jg while my team does nothing to help

He's right. Let them have it. At inhib turret maybe they'll figure it out. But at least you won't be feeding the lane on top of it.

In that case then form upbwith your team and take objectives and win 4v5 teamfights while your lane opponent gets flamed for afk splitpushing.

This isn't quite right.

Build defense since it's cheaper and scales faster earlier than offense.

If your opponent is dealing physical damage, picking up a item 3068 can be a massive boon for you.

There's also no shame in buying potions. Experience is more valuable than gold until mid game. If you have to chug potions to stay in lane, it will be worth it to not get too far behind in experience.

It's also not a horrible idea to pick up a item 3301 or item 3096 if you are getting zoned hard enough. Getting 36 gold and 60 hp per wave is better than getting 0 gold.

Yeah, that can be done sometimes, but honestly, with certain match ups, especially counters, it's worth it to grab a jungle camp and help mid lane get fed.

I had to more or less let an illaoi take both my top towers last night and had I not stuck around, she'd have gotten base tower and an inhibitor too.

Every champion has a weak point in the game though, and we exploited her weak point. Where she wasn't so strong she could just delete anyone on the team, and wasn't tanky enough to endure 3 people beating on her.

Ultimately you want to stick around if for no other reason than as a distraction to them pushing. If you don't, they'll take your inhibitor and then... Then they can actually leave their lane with no fear of a pusher and you REALLY don't want that.

True, but if they can dive you with no fear then you're better off roaming.
