Top Laners

Why are top lane champions way better than all the rest?

Remember back when the game was 5 players versus 5 players? Now it has become 1 top + 4 supports versus 1 top + 4 supports.

Oh look, the enemy team has a better top laner than our top laner. Well, in that case, I guess we automatically lose.

The problem is they have too much FREE damage. Most of them can build full defense, or maybe just ONE offensive item at the most, and they still end up doing more damage than the mid or adc who are building pure damage. It is not their job to deal so much damage. They are tanky CCers who add some damage.

Currently, the top lane champions are doing way too much free damage that they don't even need to itemize for.

Some top laners have the opposite problem, like Riven and Tryndamere for example. They can build PURE damage, yet somehow they never die. Way too much FREE survivability that they don't have to build for.

Either way, top laners are simply "better" than non top laners, and that really sucks.
