Senna mid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mlZ8Qy5hr8

see ? those nerfs to Sona and Soraka are useless , there are more support champs who can be still played at the top lane.

Probably not

FUCK Brand in general. The fucker gets to be way too tanky for how much damage he does through his itemization. His base stats need to be gutted or his damage needs to be gutted

Good, they should, top lane is for head to head melee champions, not for pu66y champions who poke you from million range, wining ever trade with ease and abuse cheap AP items, nerf it, delete it.

I haven't landed against Senna, Rakan, or Brand top (and hope I never have to) but I can say without a doubt that the others are absolutely broken in top lane.

The biggest offender is Karma. There is absolutely no risk to running her top lane. She's basically invincible. I'm aware that her winrate is negative globally (though it is positive in some regions), but I have no idea how it got that way.

The matches I've played against that braindead trash are some of the worst out of my entire League history. I can only assume that, like Akali and Irelia, her bad winrate comes from D tier garbage players who try to abuse her and are so bad they can't make one of the easiest things in the game work.

Playing against Karma top doesn't feel like laning against a strong opponent. It feels like laning against someone who is cheating. Sustained damage doesn't scratch her. No burst damage is high enough to put that scummy champion down. She is almost impossible to catch while spamming slows and roots at the same time as heals and movement speed boosts.

Anyone who plays that garbage isn't clever. And I dare say that anyone who "mains it" probably can't pull a positive winrate on anything else in top lane outside of S tier. But then, that's why people are going to defend it tooth and nail, right?

Lulu always leaks into top when the state of the lane is bad and Janna has always been a solid top laner for the laning phase specifically. After that she's worthless dead weight, but pretty much nothing beats her in lane.

Yeah, Karma is definitely the worst, though. Hotfix that shit.

It should be obvious that Sona is a special case. Rito has an extra-hard (but still tiny, LOL!) hate-boner for Sona. She's the only champion that consistently receives "hotfix" nerfs. The only champion where Rito queues nerfs the following patch before nerfs on the current patch even go Live. The only champion that Rito doesn't say "Hmmm, let's just wait and see if the numbers normalize before next patch." One of the very few champions allowed to sit & stagnate in the bottom 10% of pickrates & yet Rito is never hesitant to smack her with nerf bats in spite of this.

I might get a lot of hate for this and i think it will come from the support top abusers or support mains in general but uh i think if a support that is supposed to be weaker then every other role champion in the game can be viable on top lane then they deserve to have that champion nerfed. Soraka top was a good example cause she was incredibly weak in her actual role but then people decided hey....she is freelo top lane OH BOY ABUSE TIME. Maybe if they just played the game without trying to change it like that their champion would be buffed and not nerfed. I 100% and say that Soraka was expecting a Buff before she became everyones favorite Top lane all champ counter pick.

Karma are mages not supports and Karma is already overnerfed.
