Top lane is actually kinda fun. It's the most fun lane at the moment. I think there is an actual sense of balance in top lane.

So far, I've been playing Riven, Zed, Lee Sin, Jayce, Gnar, Gragas, and Lulu. They are all okay.

Top lane has always been dominated by a few champions. Now, there are some strong champions and some annoying champions that I have to worry about, but for the most part, champions can be dealt with.

Also, winning top lane is kind of important for the outcome of the game but not so much compared to other lanes, so there isn't as much pressure.

Jungle is brutal right now because you have to do everything you used to do while being tanky and carry games. Mid and bot are a bit of a balance gongshow...

[slayer-jinx-unamused]

Other then that, the two things that piss me off are

item 3187 Itemizationitem 3348 It's kind of ridiculous because you have to build item 3123 and/or item 3035 to win lane, but these aren't great in teamfights. If you don't build them then you get out-scaled hard... kinda sucks.

AND

summoner 4 Gankssummoner 4 Ganks hurt so much. Junglers do a TON of damage so you have to flash right away... which is kind of lame. There is no way to ward all gank routes. You suffer one way or another. Jungle pressure is so brutal nowadays.

Thanks for reading.

  1. item 3123 and item 3035 both are components of item 3033 which provides extra armor pen, and grevious wounds for those pesky self healing champs like DrMundo Vladimir Swain Ekko Fiddlesticks Volibear just to name a few. So in teamfights. Ya it's super helpful. and uhh...

  2. Noone needs to flash automatically. The reason you are probably dieing so much is because a jungler just steps one foot out of the bush and you immediately flash. Stop. Just run towards the turret and see if you can use cc. Not that hard.

Nice trolling. Plat 5s are some of the worst players I've played with. Adding nothing to your post besides rank shit posting. Have a nice day.

I'm amazed how someone like you got to plat 5 if you don't understand the simple importance of these items. The passive granted from executioner's is wonderful against the champions I listed. Stop being butthurt and maybe get better at csing, bullying, anything really that makes you realize the idiocracy of your statement. And yea if you complain about being ganked then you do waste your flash way early. Here's to hoping I play you in ranked so I know who to camp. You show how easy it is to tilt you here when I made simple statements.

LOL let me guess, a silver player? You don't even understand the point of this post. Don't post if you don't know what you are talking about. It's probably why you are where you are at trash tier.

Try again. I'm in gold. Quit assuming. It just makes you look like an ass. Maybe stop paying to get boosted XP Learn the game

Oh look. A gold player. What difference does that make. You are still worse than me. Trash gold player. You know so much about the game that you can only be gold. What a joke. Gold player, try again.

See, I prefer to earn my rank. Not pay someone to boost me so I can then speak empty words to people. Enjoy falling from plat. With your ignorance it shouldn't be too long.

one thing teams can do to help against ganks is to put in the chat where he was last seen. For example. if bot just got ganked or the enemy jungler was seen destroying a ward in bot lane, then the anyone who saw that says in chat, "Jg bot" or whatever you want to put as quick as you can. It might be a little hard to do but it makes it alot easier to know if you can push a little bit and secure a kill on someone thats low HP or if you want to be a little more aggresive with pokes for the moment

Stop giving me bronze tactics/advice. I'm not even asking for help. And yet you are just throwing out stupid tips. Why are trashbags like you always wanting to teach other people how to play when they are obviously better than you?

SP Dodgecity2 votes

Wow I honestly thought you were bronze or lower... damn XD Bro it's so easy, and the tactic this lil peasant silver told you is used all the time. it's smart, whether I'm low ranked or not.

Ranking in league is 70% time, 20% luck 10% basic knowledge of the game.

You might be plat 5 but I could care less XD Your post obviously shows that you don't understand what over extending means. Plus there was no need to be a dick about it

IF anything I know for a fact I could win a 1v1 against you. So in my mind you're a noobie bronze 5 player til you can prove in a 1v1 that you're better. [slayer-jinx-catface]

You've done nothing but ranked for 20+ days so you should be Plat 5 and if not then you should get out of ranked lmao XD

Um, you can be in silver and have more knowledge than a gold or plat player, but your in silver because A) you don't like ranked and don't play it much, B) you have to face hugely dominant champions and have teammaes who could jsut completely fucking ruin the game for you, C) maybe you just dont want to reach plat cause its easy wins in bronze or silver if your good.

What are you talking about? I made a new smurf a couple months ago, I come out of Silver in 3 days with 75% win rate. It's a trash tier that you can move out of if you are actually a decent player.

I disapprove of how you are cursing players who are contributing to this discussion in a meaningful way. You can't honestly think being Plat makes you something special, right?

It doesn't matter that plat is better than silver. The boards is for all players to discuss. I'm surprised Riot hasn't cracked down on your post already for harassment.

You have my username and server, go ahead and check :D

I'm laughing on the inside actually. You have time to check the other players who are lower ranked than you, but when I show up you magically don't have the time anymore. I know you've already checked. You're in denial and the way you're dealing with it is really funny xD

You're going to copy/paste the same response now? That takes away the fun. Come at me like the Plat you are >:D

Top lane main here, u need only 2 wards to cover all jg routes, except for top side bushes, for top lane so that part of your argument is invalid and jg kinda have to do dmg because jg camps are stronger now and you do realize jglrs are champions, they have dmg and they don't do SO MUCH DMG, but rather think of it as the enemy is using half their dmg to cs and the other half to hurt you while the jglr is using his full dmg to hurt you.

You need 1 near enemy tower for TP, 1 top bush for lane ganks, 1 for tri bush, 1 for river bush. You can't have this many wards up at all times. Don't go around saying you are top main if you are silver. You don't main anything.

Darfaller2 votes

You really dont need that many wards unless you never look at the miny map or you compeltely shove yourself up to their face and you dont have any reliable way to properly escape a gank. You yourself shoudl recognize your limits and always be prepared to avoid a potential gank or avoid putting yourself n a position where a single gank can destroy you.

No salt, just a question. What are we supposed to say about posts like this? Do we just look at go to a different post? Please don't report me because of this I'm trying to talk as nicely as I can ;-;

But still cool post and I realized that those stuff are actually true, and Rito still knows how to balance everything huh?

I don't really mind as long as the reply isn't really stupid. If you read some of the replies here, they assume that I am some new player at this game. It's like writing a post about how much you enjoy a game of tennis, and people telling you how I am suppose to hit the ball...

Top lane is literally just a TP bot to snowball bottom lane unless you somehow manage to completely stomp the lane...

Everybody does a ton of damage this season. Riot increased damage to stupid unbalanceable levels with the mastery changes. You basically die in the duration of 1 cc effect if you're taking damage from 2 champions. It also makes ranged cancer even more unbearable. This is the least fun season by far.

Typical top lane story. Enemy jungle ganks, my jungler is farming. You take some damage, use flash, spend mana, etc. Shit ton of wave on your way. Use TP back to lane. Your jungler comes top. Enemy uses TP bot lane for instant double kill. Enemy jungle takes dragon.
