I am having no issues playing top right now

Mandalorian 117··3 votes·306 views

My main role right now is top, and my main champions right now are Darius, Shen, Kled, Riven, Poppy, and occasionally Garen. Maybe there could be more runes to benefit top laners, but saying riot completely forgot/don’t care about top laners and bruisers is stupid imo. But hey, I’m a bronze casual that started playing 2 years ago and has no interest in ranked right now. What do I know?

Yeah but you might have fun in that other role on the way up. As opposed to the misery of hard countered Toplaners

It's because no one on the boards know what they're talking about, i HATE top, i lose lane 90% of the time, and regardless of how well or how bad i do, you can split push so easily and become an absolute god.

Had an Illaoi yesterday go 0/2 in lane, and literally 10 mins later traded 1 for 2 in a 1v5, that role has some of the most anti fun champs in the game, so i never understand why people say the role is bad.

So Dyrus and other master tier and up players don't know what they're talking about either? lol

never said that, and 99% of the players aren't against master / challenger players, in lower elo playing a tank is the most brain dead thing you can do, they all deal absurd amounts of damage and are borderline unkillable after 2 items.

In almost every game i play, top laners are the deciding factors cause they split push to win, or just face tank everything and dont die.

But that means you're not the deciding voice. You say "people on the boards don't know what they're talking about," but the highest elo players disagree with you as well.

My only problem with top is sometimes the game can be over before you can do anything. I mean thats every lane but it feels even worse when you are a tank top laner. Not only are they going to shred you faster than your lane opponent, your damage dealers probably wont be able to kill a damn thing to boot. Thats about the only time it feels terrible.
