Lets say you're a tank top player, you're playing Poppy

How do you farm, deal with it, and have a jungler who's bad at ganking or doesnt gank your lane (even when you ask)?

Because farming under tower is a big LOL to my face with Teemo

Presently?

Hope your jungler isn't blind and decides to show up before you auto lose the lane.

We're kinda working on an article to brain storm some possibilities to allow your own skill to matter in such a match up and in other situations rather than just rely on another teammate to be competent enough to correct a game state problem in game.

hey, poppy vs teemo isnt that bad, i did it like 3 times within 4 games somehow and won 2 times, with vayne and jayce i can see why its a bit harder because you cant just rush a spirit and merc against them

Usually when I see a marksman top and I'm a tank, I'll straight rush a bramble vest, then build my normal stuff unless I'm still having issues. Bramble vest will help force them out of lane. (This won't be as effect now since you will need bonus armor to get more reflected damage). If going against teemo maybe rush adaptive helm or even a sunfire cape to aoe burn him.
