What can be done about ranged champs in toplane?

It's probably the most frustrating experience in league of legends, playing toplane as melee vs ranged. Even worse then playing against yasuo. Teemo, Gnar, Kennen, Neeko , Quinn, Karma and others can just kite you and poke you for days and I wish there was a way to change that. Sometimes I just refuse to stay in lane and not interacting because it's so frustrating to play against range and so I just stay under tower waiting for them to just keep pushing the wave over and over, just hoping other lanes can carry and if not, you can't do anything. you really feel powerless as melee vs ranged. Do you think it will always be like this and how am I supposed to play against ranged matchups?

Taking summoner 6 or playing anyone with any innate ability to engage.

Melee vs Ranged has always made you feel powerless since Season 1 it's an incredibly lobsided matchup, the only Melee's who do well into ranged have been assassin's like Zed or burst combo like Ekko

If you're going into a ranged matchup typically you'll just want someone's who's strong early and take ghost to match their kiting

Though if it's vayne you've already lost then you should just pick someone who scales well

Doran's Shield gains "Ranged basic attacks deal X less damage to you (melee only).".
