@Riot Brightmoon and Mark "The Lol team really cares about the community" Yetter

Why doesn't this apply to the toplane community? Like have u noticed that no one talks about toplane? Do you realize it's the fact nobody plays that shit role anymore? That our voices are weirdly drowned out by the majority of actually broken role players and champ abusers?

And it sucks. It sucks trying to play other roles and champs you find three times the success than your main role and champs but what's the point if you don't enjoy what you play even while winning. I know this doesn't apply to everyone there are enough people who desperately need LP and play IQ killing shit like vladimir but it's gotten to a point you just can't bear this shit anymore and i've been here for A LOT of shit.

Tank meta for three seasons straight. Ardent meta which was the first time toplane really felt absolutely borderline useless yet as weird as it sounds atleast i was able to play a tank get that rune that healed people for the targets i CC'd and have my impact some other way. Then the next tank meta before we got conqueror which btw still didn't kill tanks even if people try to rewrite history.

Now we are at a point it's just unbearable to play the game from toplane. There is so much wrong with the lane, because it has been neglected for so long and been treated as your dumpster fire you throw failed champ designs on so they "could have a place in the game" even if their only "niche" reads: Beat every melee champion forever and ever. Notable mentions: Kennen, jayce, rumble, quinn, ryze, cassiopeia. FIORA

Then you kept forcing counterpick meta down our throats even inbetween the bruiser class where i don't get to play the game if i FP camille and jax is open. Or were you tried to make kled a dedicated aatrox counterpick instead of making him a good champ then you nerfed aatrox anyways because god help us toplaners having a champ to pick that isn't instantly counterpicked. Or now morde who is a counterpick to toplane as a whole and you only nerf him against ranged champions KEKW

Especially playing a bruiser from toplane is horrible. Getting counterpicked on a melee bruiser means the game is doomed. The items are the most expensive and scale the worst and are ONLY good if you snowball and even then you are "good" for like 5 minutes before you start to fall off. So how about if you don't want bruisers to have a good lategame atleast give them a good early game? Because automatically losing the early game to every other class in this fuckin game WHILE GETTING OUTSCALED is neither fun, nor healthy and certainly doesn't make for good gameplay.

Or if you want bruisers to lose early game to every class how about we get our lategame back? Give lategame picks like camille and jax their lategame back, even if it means to nerf them a bit further early. Bring back old steraks. Give us atmas. Or something entirely new.

Give us ways to even SURVIVE the lane against mages. Have you ever played jax or something forced to sit under your turret, constantly harassed from outside the tower range whenever you dare to go for a CS to get doven and killed repeatedly eventually? Have u played jax, camille, kled got into melee range of a cassiopeia or ryze and they just kill you in melee? Not even trying to kite you or avoid u?

I doubt you have. Whenever i read something about a rioter you are a jungler, mage or adc player. Nothing else seem to exist in your teams. Let this please be the year we can make toplane great again. I really love league of legends been playing this game since season 1 and i feel like that friend that slowly but surely gets pushed out of the circle, not invited to partys anymore, people talk less and less to you until it's time for you to move on and say "fuck it". But i don't want to move on. I want to keep enjoying the game and its characters i've been enjoying for THOUSANDS of hours (except akali, delete that shit). When i was younger i played minimum 10 games a day if my time allowed it and if it didn't i took the time anyways. Now i'm more responsible with my time but still often find myself bored and WANTING to play league but i just can't. Toplane and the respective melee bruisers up their are just dogshit and not worth to play. They have no place in the game and i'd really like riot to reach out to the toplane community, myself included, to change something about it. You know how it feels, when adc babys cry every three month and it doesn't take a patch until you start doing something? But toplane is like that for the last three years with a few ups here and there but continuously going down and all you get is radio silence? Or in the worst case you actually feel like getting mocked? Like when repertoir needlessly nerfed tiamat and to the question that it will fuck over toplane bruisers too (the example in the case was jax) he answers: Who says this nerf was directed at toplane jax?

Like ???? Does toplane even exist in your minds? But then again your recent videos don't even show toplane and your proplay camera seem to actively avoid having to show the viewer toplane. They'd rather show the rek'sai mechanically outplaying gromp than two toplaners beating the shit out of each other.

Well that's it for today. Another one of my daily threads about toplane in hopes someone from riot maybe reads it before the manipulators of these boards come again and downvote it into oblivion or just straight up remove it for "rant" when voicing my legitimate concerns i and many others have while giving feedback on what needs to change. Apparently that classifies as rant. Toplane is not allowed to be heard. Afterall, it's the 4fun role with the 4fun class that only exists 4fun4.
