Goodbye Top Lane

EpikGamersOnly·Oct 24, 2018·1 votes·870 views

After a year of cancer I'm finally done with top lane, goodbye bruisers. I'll miss you bruisers, but fuck this shitty lane. I don't wanna make a 40 page long essay, so heres a quick list of reasons why.

I cannot impact the game, not even as my main, Kled, for gods sake.
It's not a 1v1 lane, its a 1v2 lane, you, vs your opponent and the jungler
Lane bullies, that require little skill, cannot lose lanes, and can still be relatively useful late game.
Tanks, just fucking tanks
Melee champs I cannot 1v1 whatsoever Well those are the main reasons, I'm not having fun anymore, and I'm pretty sure no one else is.

maokai has a 1.61% pick rateand a 0.13% ban rate in top lane never picked or banned

malphite has a 4.30% pick rate and a 1.07% ban rate never picked or banned

average pick /ban rates are 8%

so the only viable tank that is meta is SION

and you have a +50% win rate on kled 90% win rate nasus and do well on fiora

which all shit on tanks

even mundo you have a decent win % on ( he is a juggernaut , but people argue tank)

so kled counters tanks with % hp damage nasus out scales and is nearly as tanky and fiora with conqueror + ignite shouldnt lose to a tank .

top lane is sion, urgot, irelia , jax meta

i forgot some tanks, poppy, shen, ornn, and nautilus, also they nerfed kleds % hp damage and its physical % hp damage, also ninja tabi, etc. accounting for those tanks, i see them wat more than the 5% of malph and maokai, also sion i have a 50% win rate on kled cuz i used to shit on kids and get fed but now i just feed my ass off build mercs and ga then hope they tower dive me while i beg for a jungle gank nasus isnt fun, i used him to climb since my csing is ok i dont like him fiora isnt an anti tank shes an anti bruiser, tanks are ok with rushing bramble vest ninja tabi cuz theyre tank items, which makes fiora useless, but it screws up a bruiser build path, and anyways tanks arent looking to 1v1 they wanna teamfight and fiora wants to split push so maokai can be a bitch and farm till he gets those items mundo isnt fun, i use him to climb sion urgot and jax are aids, but irelia is better mid and she cant shit on everyone early top i do appreciate the research u put into this comment tho

im a maokai otp

who plains him top mainly.

trust me there arent many tanks in meta in top lane.

you can go to https://lolalytics.com/ranked/worldwide/platinum/plus/champions/ click on tier for top and you will see the only tank is sion.

hell kled is #8 as best top laners

something is bumming you out so the sky is falling for you as a top laner but its not as bad as you think and there isnt tanks dominating the meta.

3 roles tanks are played in are top, jng, support out of the top 10 in each role only 4 tanks appear sion top rammus jungle ali/taric support.

Given top lane has probably had the second greatest game impact this worlds from the games ive seen, i think top is doing just fine. Bot lane has probably had the least impact.

Pro play is not how this game is played. 0.5% of the player base is no one.

Pika FoxOct 25, 20181 votes

What youre telling me is that its a "you" issue. You arent good enough to carry, and thus you arent winning, as is intended.

were talking about solo queue, not worlds, worlds is insanely different from solo queue so this is irrelevant

u rly want my attention dont u but the thing is my class cant carry because everything outclasses it ranged champs perma kite us were not the best at 1v1s were not the most mobile were not the tankiest were dont do the most damage we dont have the most cc our class isnt good enough to put ourselves out there and impact a game except like jax with aoe stun, and urgot with aoe fear, and irelias irelianess
