Toplane Balance

Riot, I swear to god Hashinshin was right. You literally don't have a single fucking Rioter that mains Top. Or you do, and they happen to wank it to Riven so you REFUSE to address the fact she has been broken for MONTHS now and hasn't received a nerf since Patch 5.21. Your blatant refusal to nerf her is so god damn gross it's insane. You give Hecarim his +10% damage per stack buff on Q in Patch 9.6, he returns to Top and sees success in proplay and high elo, and you're already stating that you're going to nerf him in Patch 9.9. "Singed gets strong"- HOTFIXED. "Yorick becomes a priority pick Top and has a high winrate"- NERF BATTED REPEATEDLY. "Gangplank has around 52% winrate"- GUT THIS FUCKING PIRATE. "Riven has been around a 52-54% winrate in Plat+ for MONTHS"- Meh fuck it, let's give Renekton a buff and see if that calms her tits down to a reasonable winrate instead of directly nerfing her. Can't afford to piss off her playerbase and we don't play toplane anyway so we don't have to lane against her HA HA! Actual braindead balance team. I can't believe you guys actually get paid to make the changes you've been making over the last 3 years.

if that were true, and she were in a reasonable state, a high playrate would mean a lower winrate. She has the highest pickrate out of all Toplane champions and she has the highest winrate.

Well, you make a valid point there

Hashinshin also wants top lane minions to deal more damage and act more aggressive towards single target poke damage so that he doesn't have to play the game for the enemy laner to lose half their hp and die fighting him.

I'm not gonna disagree that she needs a small nerf, but the way he presents everything sort of implies that elitist attitude of someone who thinks the game should change to revolve around his playstyle anymore, and not the other way around. One of the reasons I don't really watch him anymore: he's literally never even close to content with his own content anymore - he's always complaining.

Hashinshin balance is “only bruisers should ever be viable”.

Also notice how toplane always produces some fucking monster for everyone to deal with. Yoric Susan The entire juggernaut rework Gangplank Current riven Jayce when he was good Old old ryze Maokai when tanks were good

Top always has some over the top broken bs floating around.

Non-ranged/non-tank top lane match ups are almost completely binary and virtually all have a heavy burden of knowledge. The lane is just complete and utter dog shit.
