If you want to win games, don't play top

Top is hands down the hardest role in the game to carry from. It used to be support, but support player whined and complained enough to break the role. Sure, I've had some games where I've hard carried as top, but the effort required to do so is massive.

Right now, LoL is won from the jungle and bot lane. Mid can have some influence, but usually you have to be pretty fed to hard carry.

Instead, the easiest way to win games is to just pick jungle or bot lane. All three of those roles have direct influence on how the game will play out. I really hope Riot does something to fix this.

You shouldn't be thinking in terms of carrying in the traditional way if you're playing top. Top lane in this meta carries games through utility and peeling for the actual damage dealers. Having a tank player on your team who knows when and where to apply his CC, and how to position well, is infinitely more useful than a fighter who tries to get a bunch of kills and carry the game

if you run ignite it's really hard to carry yes, but if you run teleport you can easily carry a game still. not as hard as for instance mid lane or jungle, but you can still bend a game to your will pretty much if you use your teleport well
