So, I've recently switched from support to top lane. I was pretty good at support, but wanted a change of pace. I feel like I do at least ok in most of my games recently as Gnar and Kennen and Rumble, and I love playing Gnar, but I keep losing. Is it just my imagination that I'm OK at top, and when do I, if ever, give up and go back to support, a lane I'm positive I can play?
Top lane is pretty difficult to influence the course of games in the first place. So it can be very difficult to tell if you are performing at an average level or not.
In general, if you can draw a ton of aggro while avoiding dying to it while also staying ahead in farm and using your tp mostly for cross maps play you are doing your job as a top laner.
Can confirm, extremely good at support.

One thing that really helped me top-lane was to watch other top lane mains (Such as on Twitch and Youtube), in general I think a lot of being skilled at top-lane is doing a lot of research to fuel game knowledge. Its hard to predict where you might be going wrong, so seeing what others do better might help. Also considering you just came from supporting to top-lane, you might need to keep a close eye on CS.
Gnar has a really high ceiling cap. Top lane and melee champs in particular was my hardest area to learn, mostly learning to engage without suiciding. It's a super long lane so warding and minion management is important too. From there it's all about making the decision to split push and/or team fight, watching for ward plays and roaming when possible. Imo it's definitely a tough role to perfect.
