Is top lane in a shitty spot or is it just me?

and makes me want to slit my wrists but at least they're being played how they're supposed to be played: Like tanks.

Shit like kleptomancy and comet makes me want to cry. Jax is supposed to be a weak early game champion that can still win if played right, not "gain a free hp pot every minute", Camille is supposed to be a high skill fighter that has to go in and use her opponents mistakes to win those fights, not "sit back and deal 130 dmg level 1 with scorch and comet."

The removal of fervor fucked up top lane like few other htings ever have. Champions like and no longer have any good runes and press the attack is subpar on champions like and .

They have to fix this, because after 2 years of playing top I just want to stop doing so all together.

Top is practically Nonexistant now, you can just go a support top, hit lvl 6 and go help sup bot or mid, and let jungler have it, or come push for 1st blood,1st turret, etc. If you didn't pick a late game scaling top laner like gp, then you legit contribute literally nothing to the team. It's all about that snowball, bot late game rush siege bb.

for me I feel like electrocute renekton is pretty busted as you can blow up basically any squishy toplaner from level 4 onward, taking about 80% of their hp with one combo at 50 fury. darius on the other hand DOES need some work. many things are okay on him but nothing is perfect for him like comet is to lux or grasp to maokai.

The main problem I have with playing top lane currently is that the lane is not made by solo plays anymore but rather by the amount of ganks the enemy jungler can stuff in your buttocks in a minute

is it just me? you are either skulking around for upvotes or beyond stupid if you don't see the 4,000,000,000,000 "top lane needs HUGE BUFFS" post on the boards...

All I hear is complaining. Klepto has only a hand full of users that use it reliably. If jax is using it and you aren't punishing him atleast once outta a theoretical 5 times then you arent doing something right or its just a really bad matchup. Tanks are annoying as usually atm but everything is still pretty bot lane focused which is the real problem.

Klepto helps those champions that have to take time to scale up into their powerspikes scale faster in this much faster league we have today. Problem with klepto for those using it to get a bigger lead is they either need to have a way to reliably proc it and its random so efficiency is the key. Having klepto also can somewhat make your engages or trades alot more predictable.
