Playing top and getting ganked at the 2:15 minute mark, forcing you to play back cause you're low and miss cs. This doesn't even cover the "I'm coming back top lane again" 30 seconds after they leave.
Get ganked at level 2 while eneny jungler is lvl 3, die because of the atrocious early game burst damage junglers have + red buff, tp back top while the enemy jungler is sitting in the bush waiting to kill you again and you die again, come back to lane 2 levels and shit ton of cs down.
very fun game
Even worse when you lane vs a ranged champ like quinn while beeing a melee. You no longer have all-in killthreat and she can abuse you underneath your tower and basically prevent you from participateing in the game ever again. That first gank doesn't even havbe to be a kill, blowing your summoners and forceing a recall often is enough to be in a bad spot that you can't recover from on your own...
Though seriously, the state of jungle is disgusting. I don't feel like haveing much agency over toplane any more, and it's totally absurd that a jungler can reach lvl 3 befor me, all while haveing two buffs and full hp with a good ganking kit. It#s somewhat ok if a champ like shyvana can pull that, fast clearing the jungle prettymuch is her entier job description, but haveing someone like J4 with a gapcloser, knockup and slow aswell as high early damage comeing in that early should not be possible. Actually, the insane impact of the early jungle is one of the major reason why i don't enjoy SR anymore.
And don't get me started on 'just ward', the trinket has only a 33% uptime on a single ward early on while junglers generally have 3 gank paths. Even if the enemy jungler does not clear vision with his trinket and plants, and even if you invest in pinks(that are easily cleared out) you still don't have nearly enough vision to be save vs any decent jungler...

Enemy jungle pathing when I'm playing top.
Ganks? You mean buffs delivery?

I think the most frustrating thing to deal with is really bad internet. It's so frustrating lagging or disconnecting in crucial moments and causing your team to lose.
i play characters with gap closers, invisibility, insane speed boosts, or the ability to 2v1 top lane now for this reason.
so you havent been ganked at 2:00 by a red-buffed twitch in the midlane as an immobile mage?
If only you had a free ward.
like every single game mid/top
or the wonderful "just ward noob" (understand him,he need to keep power farming jungle eheheh) after they just dived you
[slayer-jinx-unamused]
Daily reminder that having a role that is designed to free farm without any poke based pressure (please don't give me the "hurr durr invade is pressure" nonsense)and that has the sole purpose of disrupting enemy laning phases is a flawed concept.
If only it wasn't mandatory..if only we had more options...if only this game was a superior moba...
That looks REALLY frustrating when I see it. There's nothing I can do (as sup) 'cuz toplane is a LONG way to roam. I think that's why they pick on you.
Playing top and getting ganked at the 2:15 minute mark,
hum... its ur fault if u are low so early. As top laner u should try to know where the ennemy jungle start. Just surviving to this early gank is already great cause all u mate know where ur jungle is even better if ur jungler is good
One of the things that drove me away from top, or sticking to champs who can deal with that in the event I DO take the lane. Maokai is good to deal with it with E "wards". Sion/Shen/Naut have good options for survivability to keep from getting boned in the early gank too.
