I was wrong about toplane

I had to write this thread because i feel like i was not fair in my judgement in the past weeks concerning toplane

Ever since i hit challenger I was actually amazed by many things regarding toplane, which also showed me that I was wrong

First: Toplane has no impact and Botlane is everything Wrong Ever fought a 3/0 camille? It's legit spectacular when camille is played by a good player and is ahead, when i looked at it it felt unstoppable. She can dash an entire screen, goes untargeable to dodge ccs, deals massive damage, isolates a target, prevents them from moving, and has shield/heal and it's not only Camille, but also Gnar, Fiora, Jayce, Vladimir, Gangplank

I can't count the amount of time i was overfed bot, and still lost because my toplaner was inting Toplane actually matters, if your toplaner is behind and enemy camille/gnar is ahead you will have issues

Second: Tanks dominate toplane Wrong Maokai is legit never picked, same for ornn, i fought ornn a single time in the past week If i had to remember a tank that i fought in a game it would be 1 time and he got destroyed by camille Tanks are actually not strong There isn't really a class that dominates it's picked/banned in every games what's the common point of those champions? I would say that they're extremely strong in teamfight and are strong in more than one manner Gnar for instance has a safe laning phase, can bully, can kill both squishy and tanky targets, and can also soak up a lot of damage+cc people

Picks like Gnar and Camille need to be looked at, because until then other toplaners will never be picked

What's the problem of toplane? It's actually fervor users

In challenger used to be a solid pick if you had no idea who to pick, I remember Dyrus playing him often Renekton can lane against ranged oppenents, can win lane, is hard to gank, is decent in teamfight

and now? he's never ever considered to be picked he literally tickles since fervor got removed, both in lane and in teamfight or splitpushing or anything and it's the same for press the attack was a total joke of a replacement for fervor

Now what actually needs to be done: -fighter keystone -nerf to - heavy changes need to be done, this champion is literally vayne+maokai in 1 -Nerfs to -Nerfs to and i say this as a Janna main

what doesn't need to be done: -fighter's itemization is actually fine -bramble vest is fine, but i would argue that balancing healing around GW is a horrible design would be great if GW is removed and healing is tuned down

Now that's only my opinion, feel free to take it or not [slayer-jinx-catface]
