Top lane is decided by who has better jungler!

It doesent matter if you are winning your lane, if enemy team has better jungler you auto lose. If you push lane and enemy jungler decides to camp you you die. If you dont push and enemy laner freeze lane on his half you have to sacrifice farm, also getting behind. Enemy jungler shows up at level 3 you die you lost lane 99%. If your jungler doesent countergank you lost your lane.

Lane is so long and easiest lane to gank in the entire game, it doesent matter if you ward you cant escape in most cases. Just junglers presence denies so much pressure you have over your opponent. Unlike other lanes lets say mid, its wider and shorter lane so, you can see jungler from far away if you ward properly and you can pretty much survive so much easier. On bot lane same story but you also have 2 people there 4 eyes to care about ganks. Top lane has always been considered an isolated island but many people forgets how that lane is decided by jungler instead of top lane matchup , only in rare cases when neither jungler ganks which is very rare that lane is actually decided by top lane matchup and individual skill.

This is the reason i stopped playing Top since i dont feel like im having so much control over lane myself and Jungler is dictating the tempo.
