Hi riot can you add more counter jungling items to the game

Hi riot I know a lot of people on these forums have been complaining about bot lane fiestas and I was just wondering if it could be possible to add new counter jungling items for top laners?

I know you want to try to stop lane swaps in pro play by making top tower this strong fortress but the problem is that a lot of top lane champs can farm safer under turret. Then proceed to scale well and the bully top laner can't output decent damage to the turret due how tough it actually is.

So what I would suggest is give a means for top laners to leave their lane when it's pushed to enemy turret and invade the top side jungle. That way if the annoying lee sin is trying to gank bot a lot he can get punished for it more so.

Junglers can punish laners for over extending and overstaying their welcome so why can't laners also apply that punishment to junglers?

I don't wanna find Darius in my jungle.

Then you would need to get your top laner to push out the wave to keep Darius from roaming. Also it might motivate junglers to get the warding trinket and be more proactive for buying control wards.

And you don't think top lane is bs?

Being stuck on island struggling to find ways to impact the map, sometimes you get a lane match so volatile that one jungle gank can determine the lane winner?

Then there is also the cheese strats in top lane for example you had to back because of a gank or getting poked out of lane. The enemy lee sin proceeds to wait for a whole minute at the bush just behind the top tower at the red side of the jungle to only burst, flash kick you to the enemy top's hands.

i main top and the way i impact the game is i take or help take towers and it's hard to be low if you: A. play well B. be a tank. and what lee are you fighting against that is actually able land a flash kick

A lot of tanks are easy to bully early on and set them to low Hp. The problem is when they become to tanky that trying to take top tower feels like trying to break an iron wall. I can force them underturret but then you reach that stalemate.

I know how to roam, I know how to pressure but there are games where you feel helpless. When you roam you put yourself behind unless it goes truly well.

If you play renekton for example and you can't gain a proper lead, roaming may not be really an option if all lanes a are pushed then you should be able to still do something proactive rather than just being a nice juicey gank for the jungler.

Also the thing is the items I'm suggesting will require the top laner to invest gold into. If he can't invade then he has wasted that gold so there is always that risk vs factor to them.

Also I'm not fully sure why a Lee would flash kick me rather than ward hop. Maybe because he though I wouldn't react fast enough to a flash kick. It worked either way.
