Enchanters in Toplane

I'm just a simple toplane main I like to play fun stuff even if its not the most meta and try my best to win when possible, I'll admit I do tilt sometimes but that's beside the point, Enchanters In Toplane...Anyone that plays toplane has seen them around by now and I know what you're probably thinking "Sona and Soraka were and are about to be nerfed why are you whining?" WELL, what about the Nami? The Lulu? And whatever enchanters are being played behind the scenes that are making their move now? Cause the fact of the matter is I've played a few games where I had to face an enchanter in toplane....and it never went well, for example a Lulu that just poked with spells and shielded all if not most of the damage IF by some miracle the toplaner were able to get close enough or have some range to do some type of damage, the other type are ones like nami that kite with movespeed and heal themselves back to full off any poke you might get onto them. Sona and Soraka were just the gatekeepers to the flood of Hell that is Enchanters in toplane, And the thing about it is It's not just cheesers playing it the people that main these champs in the support role that are moving toplane and the worst part of it is, even IF you beat them in lane, it makes no difference they'll still be more relevant than 80% of traditional toplaners like ornn, darius, renekton and urgot come mid to late game, because enchanters don't need anything but one strong team mate to wreak havoc and control the whole game, and I cant stress this enough that they can do this while starting support items like spellthiefs and just ignore farming because they can poke you very easily, the items they need to buff the carries are super cheap and the levels they get from solo lanes just makes then that much stronger than your own support. the only thing I could think to do is start doing it myself but then what happens when I face someone whose played the matchup dozens of times when I don't play support often? They out mechanic me, you and your parents in lane.

If you want my opinion on what Riot should do with this problem, Nerf early game damage on the enchanters being abused in solo lanes and make it so each team can only have one person with a support item because in all honesty if your team starts with more than one support item chances are someones abusing something in the game, trolling or funneling and none of these things should be acceptable....

Now that I've said my piece I just hope that enough people agree with me so that we can get Riots attention and get something done about this

And yes I know they're planning to buff sunfire and bring some tanks back but can anyone honestly tell me that it just wont bring engage supports like leona and allistar to toplane aswell? and even IF it doesn't it doesnt help any toplane champ against enchanters

Edit:Feel free to discuss with me about this because I am curious what other toplaners and other players in general have to say about this

Well I can understand Soraka permapoking and outhealing, or Lulu just being a pain in the ass to trade with, but how the hell do you lose lane to Nami or Sona? You bait the bubble, dash in the face and its flash down or -50% hp, or, in case of Sona, no need to bait anything.

80% of traditional toplaners like ornn, darius, renekton and urgot

Especially as a fucking Renekton who is supposed to oneshot them after like half an item, while also having some sustain. And if you play Darius/Morde, you fucking deserve it, those champions are as much of a problem for normal melee toplaners as ranged toplaners are to you, except that ranged toplaners actually have to play safe and can't really kill you
