Dealing with getting camped

John C Mayer·3/16/2016, 12:54:13 AM·2 votes·867 views

So, if I get ganked top consistently, how can I deal with it? 2 examples from 2 ranked games 1st one as Gnar; I was against Garen top. I got a kill on him, but while walking back to my turret to b, got ganked by Shaco, he used ignite. (~1:30 into the game) Walk back to lane, don't use TP because wave's at his turret and I won't miss too much CS. Get flash+silenced on (I used flash to secure Garen kill with last AA) and then spin+Shaco ganked (~4:30) Walk back to lane, didn't use TP because I'm almost 6 and could TP bot, farm for about 2 minutes, let his lane push against me so I don't get ganked again. Get Shaco ganked, had my e this time, so I got away. I'm about half, but I stay because I'm greedy. (My mistake this time). Zed roams top, Shaco clone tanks turret and I die. (~died around 7:00) TP bot this time, help push mid, get mid turret, go back top. Garen's back, and Blitz roams top (from mid). Burn flash to get away, and get a kill on Blitz, but Shaco Qs+ignites to kill. Things I thought might help: Pink ward (any tips on where to place? Shaco ganked from River brush and tri brush, and I don't think I can put in lane brush because at the time I couldn't protect my ward) , try to get my jg to ward his jg 2nd one as Yasuo Jesus Christ. Doing fine, lane pushed against Jayce, at around 2 minutes (really early, level 2), me and Jayce are level 2, and Fiddle is literally sitting in the river brush, level 3. I can't go anywhere past the "mid" line of the lane, or else Fiddle walks out to silence+red buff slow me+Jayce E/Q. I get low, and I b, walk back to lane because I won't miss too much CS. Walk back, about 30 seconds in, Fiddle ganks and I had to waste flash on last one so I die. TP back to lane, because I'm around level 4, Jayce is level 5 and Fiddle is level 5, I get dived by Fizz (he's level 6, got a solo kill on TF), and I walk back to lane. Some stuff happens, I get ganked, I decided to trade lanes with TF, maybe he'll have more luck in top because he's ranged. I'm in mid, against Fizz, for maybe 1 minute, before Fiddle pops out of the River brush that isn't warded, and I have to walk back to top, because Fiddle is following me through the jungle. He leaves me after I enter the tribrush, and then I'm laning against Jayce before he solo kills me (he's really far ahead at this point). Can't think of anything for this game, apart from maybe roam more; our jungle couldn't gank, because his champion had bad early clear (or at least the player did) and couldn't gank pre-6. Any tips?

Only thing I can think of is early game sight stone

"1st one as Gnar"

Now all i'm thinking to myself is how did you manage to get camped as the safest top laner in the game.

If you're up against shaco just buy two pinks wards every time you back. Drop trinket wards, not in the river bush, but further up near the rift herald.

As for the second one i don't really know what to tell you. Literally sit under your turret and don't leave. Go down by 40+ cs if you have to. The longer their jungler is wasting time not killing you, the longer your jungler gets free reign of the map. Tell your jungler to go counterjungle his camps since he's camping your lane. As a jungle main i ALWAYS camp top early game. If i blow a flash and TP...i'm literally not leaving the top side for the next 3 minutes. If i smell weakness in their top laner i'm going to camp the crap out of him. If he's smart and not overextending, i'm not gonna waste my time on that lane anymore.
