this games balance is so bad......
every game is determined by whichever top lane wins. 18/22 games have been decided what top lane wins.
can we try to balance the game??

Wasnt it "who has the better jungler wins"?
Indeed but a snowballing lane is incredibly hard to deal with now thanks to wet noodle turrets/ herald/ baron minioms preventing you from farming it out.
Gone a're the days you could stall the game and catch up
Shit I can't keep it straight. I thought last week it was all about which bot lane fed the hardest.

oh hey just look at my match history and the team with the more effective top lane has won like 23 out of 26 games....
If you look at mine you see that most of the games the toplaner didn't have much impact. It is too small a sample size to draw conclusions.
is this a joke? this must be a joke, right?
citation?
I think he is talking about how if the top laner gets ahead it creates strong Herald control and with herald being a very strong objective it allows them to push 1-2 towers within 15min in some games. all that global gold + the top laner being able to roam now can win games very easily.
While I dont agree that balance is terrible, I see where he is coming from
I thought it was the bot lane that decided it

its a mix of bot lane and the junglers mostly. because the better jungler will get his bot lane ahead, which means 3/5 people on the team win.

lol bot lane is so irrelevant right now its a joke.
All of the 20 best top laners need major nerfs for sure. It's beyond ridiculous at this point.
What the hello are you talking about.
Man this feels such the opposite for me.
I seem to win 90% of games where I lose top lane, and I seem to lose 99% of games where I win top lane, even to the extent of 6/2 and first blood tower while being permanently camped by the enemy jungler.
Meanwhile, I'm nearly 100% loss on games where I lose mid lane, and I'd guess over 75% win on the games where I win mid lane. Even by a small margin, I win games when I win mid.
Not sure how you're finding top to be the decider. I only can decide the game top lane if I get easy opportunities to roam mid and/or TP bot and get fed off of the other lanes. Which is really not winning top lane, it's punishing the enemy's crappy mid/bot.
To all those questioning OP he's not entirely wrong. Although top laners CAN'T carry a whole game (in most cases) they can make the enemy laner 110% useless. It is really easy to abuse leads in top lane land. The fact that turrets are still squishy AF and rift herald is an option now makes it worse.
A lot of people are crying lately about certain champs, but you need to realize something. If you're the ADC you're going to be the target of assassins. If you're a tank, fighters are more likely to come after you. If you're a fighter, bruisers are more likely to come after you. This adds variety to the game.
What are you talking about? If their top laner gets ahead they probably deserve the win. Do you expect riot to just make it impossible for top laners to carry the game?
