When you pick a ranged champ top lane

somebody like

don't get mad and call me a try hard for destroying you with a regularly used champ I pick everyday top lane like

My preferred champion of choice being .

You were stupid enough to take a squishy ranged champ top lane, trying to get a cheap, effortless victory against somebody like who basically have a 0% chance of retaliating to any of your attacks. Instead, you get an axe to the face for being a cheap troll, allowing me to I go at least 11/0/2 with about 181 cs, 3 towers, 2 inhibitors because your blinds, knockbacks, slows, binds and knockups are ineffective.

Instead of being cheap, "git gud" and bring a champion who can actually survive in top lane to top lane [slayer-jinx-wink]

In summary, you noobs won't get a cheap, metabreaking victory off of my lane.

is this the new trend? boasting how good you are on the forums after you won a lane?

You're half right, but it's definitely not new.

As a top lane main I can only say this; keep fighting the good fight!

You realize that Kayle, Teemo, Jayce, urgot, Gnar, and Yasuo are all primarily top lane champions, right? And maybe Ryze and Graves, I haven't seen either of them in so long I don't actually know. And that yasuo isn't actually ranged and Gnar builds pretty tanky.

I'm surprised you didn't list Quinn or Karma, both of whom also go top lane (and for Quinn it's her meta position).

Yes, Olaf is a good counterpick for a lot of ranged champions, that doesn't mean that ranged champions are unviable top lane (in fact, if you read all the whining threads, you'd think they were making top lane completely unplayable and how dare you ever break the meta).

(And now for a joking challenge: I see your non-Olaf champions and raise you tank karma :P)

Also please don't cry about getting killed under turret at full health repeatedly, that's just the risk you run when you play a squishy champion on the island and a good jungler will punish that while the real toplaner will be happy to soak turret aggro for him using the armor you forced him to rush.

Karma Lissandra Orly?

Jokes aside, I do agree with you here. I live to smack toplane Teemo s and Quinn s.

How do you actually destroy Morgana in lane anyway. I thought the point was to spend 20 minutes pressing W and then backing away.

redniwediSDec 18, 20162 votes

Well, particularly for the OP's main pick of Olaf it's rather simple. You farm up, get tanky, and dive. What's Morg going to do to stop a dive, CC him? If he plays smart there's nothing she can do to stop him.

you zone her out. early game her tormented soil can't kill the minions completely

Radiant WukongDec 18, 20162 votes

Stronger poke. Her W doesn't do too much until your health is low and I always out maneuver her Q (rushing boots is a must). Against Morgana, my go to is still Olaf since he has the longest range poke, spam Q, takes about 5 to drop her health low enough to make diving safe. and Olaf can use his poke while she's under the turret.

If a Morgana is mid lane, she's absolutely destroyed by Talon . I rush item 3009 , juke her Q, then 1 burst of WQ>AA (or QW>A if you're not confident you'll land the return) will melt over 70% of the health. If you have ult, the second burst of RQ>AA (or QR>AA) is guaranteed death. The burst of damage is coming from his passive (hitting enemy with ability 3 times then AA, W and R count twice if the hit out and returning) and is what actually get the kills.

Also buying item 3211 (seriously this item destroys ap top laners).

Yeah, they were stupid enough to trying to win a game with a champion that has more chance of winning than average. Nice logic, dipshit, when one of your champs will be good in the meta, I'll make a post calling you worthless trolling noob bandwagoning trash too.

"your blinds, knockbacks, slows, binds and knockups are ineffective" The reg top laners you named have those too lels.

Good thing i never expect an easy win. Also good that the top lane ranger i play isn't on the list. XD

And seeing as Olaf is the only champ in the game who will give no f***s about any "stoppers" you throw at him....or is he not the only one?? His ult is like summoner 1 summoner 21 summoner 4 summoner 6 summoner 7 all in one XD And then it leaves everyone else like summoner 3

I don't mind being heavily CC'd by an Alistar Nautilus Leona . I don't care if I'm completely obliterated by a Darius Garen Sion Volibear They are honored warriors who deserve respect.

As for the disgraceful, shameful cowards who bring their 700 range kits to top... not respectable at all.

Quinn and Gnar mic drop

I love when people play some ADC or something mid, take ignite, dont build Hexdrinker or anything, and then complain that I oneshot them with Fizz lul

until he gets nerfed because of it, that is feelsbadman

ToastersaotDec 18, 20161 votes

TFW Vladimir ain't on that list...or Gangplank ( who is pseudo-ranged if he gets enough CDR) . But I must say Jayce, Kennen, and Kayle should definitely be changed. Kennen has stuff on the PBE, but where are Jayce and Kayle?

Radiant WukongDec 18, 20161 votes

I forgot about Vlad, haven't seen him top lately, he should definitely be included. As for GP... I don't mind making those trades.

Vladimir Top ain't great right now...all we Vladimir players have left is a cheese build with full AP runes and amp tone that gives us 50 AP at level one, then try and kill the enemy at lvl 2 using summoner 14 summoner 4 . Only works on squishies though Xp

Those primary top laners started as off-meta picks. Some people already count them as top laners, where as some older players look at older rosters and consider them to be for other lanes.

It's not that he's a new player, which is clearly incorrect, it's that he's an old player.

Karma and Lissandra laugh at your Olaf pick from a distance.
