I must say, top lane is by far the most miserable lane to play in.

Here's why:

  1. You play a fighter, tank's just out-damage you.
  2. You play a fighter, you get placed against Vayne.
  3. If you're red side, you're more prone to ganks by a shit ton due to tri bush.
  4. Tanks outdamage everything. (Ornn, Maokai)
  5. You have a potentional of 79 champions you can get matched against (obviously most of these are sub optimal but are still seen)
  6. Way too many item paths.
  7. You can easily get 40% CDR by 12 minutes.
  8. The game seems to be heavily revolved around who feeds top lane.
  9. The entire lane is based off wage management.
  10. You can get easily counter picked since there's so much diversity in the role.
  11. Most of the time, it's just a farm lane.
  12. Tank items are doing a lot of damage. Etc...

Is this lane ever going to be addressed or am I just going to have to continue to suffer? Playing a melee champion Vs. Vayne top especially just feels completely miserable, I sometimes feel like I'm going to get booted from the game due to leaver buster because I'm literally not being impactful at all.

Or play against someone ranged who can poke you out hard at all stages of the game with low chance of going oom, but they can still make all in plays to burst you out and help the team (gnar, Kennen, jayce).
