Top lane is still terrible, dragons are too strong.

I main top, secondary jungle. I was really looking forward to reading the patch notes because they had stated that there would be more impact from top in the game, like the exp changes. But with the nerfs to rift herald, the exp changes being underwhelming and the dragon souls existing, why would you ever gank top? If they're overextended and a free kill, sure, just take the gold... unless dragon is up and you need to be on the other side of the map for it. Why would you ever actively want to play around top lane now? Before you could spam gank top to turn the game into a 4v5 because there was 0 counterplay to a jungler just deciding to ruin the day of some random top laner, but now even that is almost a waste of time. Powerfarming and ganking bot/mid is way more important right now, because it's going to be 4/5 man dragon fights the meta. You need those lanes winning and having priority so they can help with securing early dragons, even if it's not a dragon that is super useful to your team, you don't want the enemy getting it, that gets them closer to having the dragon soul/elder, also known as "lol we can win now" the mechanic. The numbers on the dragon souls are way too fucking high, it's super restrictive and forces you to play around bot/mid as a jungler. I don't necessarily think the dragon souls are a bad idea, but they need to be toned way WAY the fuck down so they don't just decide games by who got this first.

Just to be clear, I do NOT want it to return to the jungler can decide who lives and dies in top with no penalties to them, but top being a fucking ghost zone that if you're losing you will not receive help because it's not fucking worth it to be on that side of the map isn't any fucking better. Nerf the dragon souls, all of them. Nerf the fUcK out of the elder execute, undo some or all of the rift herald nerfs, and we'll see how things go, but right now, holy fuck nerf dragon souls. also remove sanguine blade that shit's broken
