I feel bad for top mains

I put top sometimes as a secondary role and get stuck playing up there and I always am the first or second pick. If I pick any melee the other team goes teemo or quinn top and i sit under tower not playing or take infinite harass. That has to be the worst position to play unless you are the one counterpicking.

yea top isn't a very fun lane. most other lanes you're free to pick whatever but when it comes to top you have to be uncounterable and unbeatable or you'll get beaten.

I've actually almost never had issues with Teemo top, and since her Rework I never see Quinn top (or at all)

How do I avoid having issues with Teemo? Simple: item 3156 and item 1321

Suddenly Teemo's biggest sources of annoyance (Magic damage focus and blind) are solved. Bonus points if you have the mastery that also gives you Tenacity.

Top has too little of a factor in-game if the other lanes aren't doing well, plus the match-ups tend to be stomp or be stomped for one of the laners, which isn't very fun when you're the stomped.

Hence why I switched to mid. It's more about outplay potential and roaming than just about who chose the stronger champion. They have more of an impact than a top laner does when your allies just lose hard.

They wanna try to be Graves/Quinn/Teemo scumbags? Pick Nunu. Throw snowballs at them every 2 and a half seconds for a third of their health.

Thanks to how easy it is to build MR now, all the main hard lanes top aren't that hard anymore (Vladimir sustaining everything, Rumble burning you to half hp in 2 seconds, Ryze early game is easier to deal with, Teemo Kennen ). Hell, item 3211 first item stops any ap top laner. So all you have to worry about is melee and the occasional adc top (Graves like this broken basta-)

Irelia I don't see the issue.

Yeah I dislike top lane ... although I want to like it. The match ups are way too one sided, half the time it feels like the lane is lost before you even set foot in it.
