Are there any toplane mains in the Balance Team?

Not a flame post, just generally curious.

I remember Medler mentioning the removed Fervor as it had a similar niche as Lethal Tempo. Expect that only really applies to Marksman. Champions like Fiora, Riven, Darius, Renekton, Jayce and a multitude of others could run fervor when the matchup called for it.

Last season they wanted to give Jungle more impact, and ended up making toplane unwinnable if they got focused for whatever reason.

I don't know, it just feels like they put A LOT of effort into improving Support, or updating the Jungle, and no one cares how any of these impact toplane in the slightest.

Toplane main here. I'm still trying to figure out what keystone to run for a lot of different champions up there that isn't just Grasp. Some things just don't really work anymore (Phase Run requiring 3 unique hits makes it difficult on a lot of champs) and most of them just...don't feel right, at least not yet. I know things like Comet and Klepto can work, but they don't fit the style of game as I like to play it, and it feels really bad right now.

Same, that's why I started wondering.

It's feels like the least looked at role, or if the testers play some rather unusual champs.

D3 toplane main here mainly playing bruisers and i have to say Fiora,Yasuo and so on feel actually unplayable it feels like im trying to main support right now when i look at the dmg my main champs are doing in the current moment. Obviously when you reach the lategame you dont feel the dmg difference anymore but for the early game there is no good keystone for most fervor abusers and all that we can hope right now is that riot is going to have mercy on us and agree that toplane is unplayable without fervor.
