Players can't bitch until they've played at least 10 games in top lane.

I've been a top lane main since around Season 2, its had its ups and downs and Riot has made attempts on trying to make it less of an "island", hence Rift Herald and such. My fucking God though, this season is just by far the worst for top lane that I've ever seen. Incase you're curious, i'll break this shit down on why it's so terrible.

• You have champions like Gankplank who have the highest winrate and playrate of any champion in the game, where they just spam Q's with no real counter play.

• If you play a fighter, tanks just completely outdamage you.

• Quinn/Teemo/GP/Vayne/Pantheon are the definition of unfun. Imagine you playing Wukong ADC against a Caitlyn, yeah doesn't work.

• Everything hard counters everything else to an extreme degree, and farming is basically impossible at that point. Why this is different than ADC/Mid, is that you have ranged auto's to farm, whereas you're melee at top so walking up to CS is basically suicide.

• Getting ganked 20 times before the 8 minute mark, more specifically, getting ganked at the 2:20 mark by a full health level 3 jungler with red buff.

• You can have a 2 kill lead but in some cases it wont matter, some champions in top lane are just so fucking overloaded to the point where if they get their first item, might as well call it quits. (Any tank in the game/animation canceling champions)

• Die to a gank at the 6 minute mark and lose your tower thanks to demolish.

• Mid laners love roaming top more than they do bot lane due to the fact that most top lane champions (EG: Trundle, Garen, Nasus, etc) have no abilities with hard disengage.

• For some reason, junglers in high gold/low plat love counter jungling without realizing where the enemy jungler is, so they die to my laner when I call mia 20 times.

• Early level advantage is fucking Aids.

• Still no bruiser keystone after 3 months of the new runes release :^)

Yes, there are other issues regarding other lanes, but I know for a fact that top lane is by far the most cancerous shitshow League has to offer. Is Riot doing anything about it? To my acknowledgement, no, still nothing on the PBE, even though we were promised months ago that there was going to be something on the table. Don't believe me that top isn't in a shit spot? There's plenty of streamers who have admitted that you can legit get insta popped for a game in challenger elo if you put top as your primary role. No one fucking plays the role unless they play Nasus or some shit. So please Riot, instead of adding more cosmetics to League, actually address a role that's in the dirt.
