The state of top lane

Eedat·12/23/2019, 5:22:38 AM·5 votes·3,380 views

For years people complain that top doesnt matter and is decided by the jungler. Now, jungle is gutted and solo lanes are buffed to being hands down the strongest roles. Junglers cant go anywhere near a fed solo laner or they die so top laners get no help if they fall behind. Now apparently top is trash because the jungler can't gank and save them. The irony is off the charts. Be careful what you wish for because you just might just get it lol

Okay, and we tops didnt want jungle to get gutted to death. We wanted to be able to play the lane normally without having junglers shoved down our throats every time since Riot wont give our lane the necessary tools to fix that. On top of that, they are very complacent in balancing our lane, so if you get countered, you deadass have no choice but to rely on mid and bot winning. They need to recruit jungle and top players into their team if they dont want this to be a neverending cycle.

Top lane is in a good spot.

Jungle is in a terrible spot. Jungle XP changes were dumb. I don't think junglers should ever be the same power as solo laners, but they also shouldn't be 4 levels behind them either.

Heh I believe it was toplaners in season 8 asking for the "1 vs 1".

This is because top laners have had this fucking complex for the past 3 years.

They figured out early s7 that they are the majority now. And that they cry the loudest (even though they say it’s adcs who cry most) And because they are the loudest riot listens to them. So they continue to cry they are weak when they are on par with everyone else until riot buffs them. And oh look here we are in s9/10 and top laners are fucking every other role into the dirt while still putting on this facade that they are weak.

TLDR - top laners will cry about anything and everything because riot keeps giving them their fucking way.

Imagine if you sat 20 minutes under your tower without a gank: That is the state of top lane. Here's an idea if they just move dragon to top side and herald to bot side, the game gets a lot better. In plat elo (Well ik not the best representation) there are games that a single herald is not even captured or contested... In bot you got support to sometimes take care of you and make plays but in top how are you gonna make plays against champs that just walk forward and auto attack or use their brain dead ability... Garen Mordekaiser As much as old morde was interactive and fun to play and play against this one is just a detriment to already declining lane...
