Players abandoning top because it's "not important".

I mean seriously, where did this kind of logic come from? All lanes are freaking important and losing one means the enemy is a step closer in destroying the nexus.

It is seriously far less impactful than bot or mid.

You can't even easily use TP to influence bot lane anymore after the 4 second cast time increase.

We want to be more impactful on a games outcome.

If 2+ lanes are losing, you must prioritize, otherwise that will soon turn into 2+ lanes AND jungle losing.

That is why when I play top, I make it #1 priority to not get solo killed. If I die in a gank, or am in a losing matchup, np, I'll hug turret, farm only and build tanky no matter what champ I'm on so that I'm not heavy for the team, then get opportunistic kills in splitpushing or teamfights. If I get solo killed, it means I am a bad player and deserve to lose. Never get solo killed no matter what. Give up cs, back earlier, doesn't matter, just do not get solo killed. A solo kill is equivalent to getting a 20 cs lead in both gold AND exp.

What annoys me is the player who won top, but won't just group to push down mid because they have to keep teleporting up there to clear the wave every time it reaches the first tier tower.

I honestly think it's quite frustrating when I have my enemy laner stuck in lane at ~ 30-40% HP, but I can't finish them off alone because champions like GP or Sion can't really all in like a Riven could. So I am pinging my Lee Sin/Kha'Zix to come top for a free kill, but they refuse to come.

Lee could litterally Q in, press E and walk away with the kill gold in his pocket.

with sion i usually just shove in the wave E them and ult them

just kill them under turret

they often make the mistake to stand behind their turret in which case just ult the turret since aoe will still hit them then q and walk out

If they stick around low enough for me to all in them, I will all in them. But people usually won't let me.

Most recent example is a game where I was playing GP vs Jax. Whenever the guy was at about 40% health, he'd stay far away from me and wait for his nocturne to gank I didn't have the damage to kill him on my own, and needed Lee to finish him off, because I didn't have the full Trinity Force yet. Sadly, Nocturne ganked me 3 times before my MIDLANER decided to show up, while Lee stayed bottom side :P I actually double killed the Noc and the Jax in one of their ganks because they tried to dive me, but you get my point.

For example, if you have a maokai vs. nautilus top lane, it really doesn't matter if one of them gets a kill or not. Thus you abandon top lane and go gank other lanes. Different story if there's a carry on top.
