Why to be careful when choosing Top As your Secondary Role

So many mid laners i Know will go into Top as a secondary role since it's a solo lane. However I wish to warn those mid laners, as a fellow mid lane main myself, that top is a very different lane. Here is some of the following reasons

-Way longer gap from the mid section of the lane/river to get back to your tower -Way bigger gap to get from Nexus to Tower -The way you have to think about how the jungler will approach you is completely different -The way you ward is different -The way you approach trades is different, a bad trade in the top lane is much more punishing than in the mid lane -The way you roam is completely different -The meta literally HARD changes EVERY patch, and IT DOES matter

Frankly Top laners have a very hard role in my belief for they have to also constantly update and practice their champion pool. I will give a example, a mid lane main can chose a champion like Ahri, or Lissandra, and they will be set for life, they quite honestly never have to learn a new champion ever again. Those two champions unless they receive hard nerfs, will always be sitting at a safe 48-52 percent win rate, they will have metas where it increases or decreases. But they will always be near the 50 margin. Top laners however are very prone to major nerfs, and major buffs, and are also very vulnerable to item changes. Hell the TP nerf completely effected how teleport primary users have to chose to use teleport. Frankly once you hit plat elo, the only time you will see a good top laner, is when he no lifes that role.

So this isn't me saying don't play top lane as a secondary role, this is me warning, understand the role in no way, all because it's a solo lane, makes it another version of mid lane.
