Help top lane!
Hey guys,
I have been playing since s1/s2 but never played top lane only mid, support and adc. So I am here because I'm struggling in top lane a lot. Is there any tips, guidance you guys can share with me so I can improve?
Thank you.

tanky champs are nice. since it's kinda easy to gank top lane (you are alone and it is longer than mid), it's nice to have that survivability to give you some more breathing room.
a nice (but risky) trick as top is to shove your waves into your enemy's turret. not only will you deny him/her some farm, make it hard for him/her to harass/trade/all-in you, but you will often draw the enemy jungle's attention. Now, this is of course risky bc you're opening yourself up to ganks, but keep wards up (this is much more effective post level 9 once you upgrade yellow trinket) and pay attention to your opponent's body language to try and sense if a gank is on the way.
if you can do this and not die, you help your team out quite a bit. their jungler wasted his/her time trying to gank you, and meanwhile your other lanes have pressure relieved. and if the enemy jungler does show top, remember how far out of the way top lane is. your other lanes (especially bot) should have at least a couple minutes to not worry about being ganked.
That is the advice I'm looking for!
Your advice sounds to be on point and I will use this for my future games. Thank you Magic Pole. :)
Anyone else got some advice please to add?
Probably should go in the tips section.
Brb, gonna find a few older posts I made that sum up my thoughts.
