Can we do something about top lane and range/poke champs

My last 2 games were vs Kayle and i got demolished as Jax . Couldn't even farm undertower. Same thing happened to me yesterday vs Pantheon. It's extremely hard to win lane as a bruiser nowadays and I don't understand how I am supposed to survive laning phase as a melee champs that uses his aas for damage. Minions seem to ignore the range champs when i get poked by ranged enemies autos and they can poke me for free even undertoweer because towers are a joke that take their sweet ass time to fire a single shot and it does minimal damage. Can we do something about this. I want to play skirmishers like Jax but this is seriously unplayable. Let's not talk about Vayne top too (what a shitshow).

Increased range should be balanced with decreased damage.

I havn't seen Bruisers top much since season 4, back when Jax top was actually a really good pick. Now games are decided too early for pros to consider them, they'd rather let their ADC/Mid be the late game scalers, and have jg be early game pressure, and top be team fighting / mid game objective controllers.

Probably what happens is resolve tree will get more buffs and eventually riot will also nerf the manaflow band/scorch that gives endless lane poke with no dorans ring. Then team play with brain dead tanks will get its meta back.

And you can't even have item 1054 buffed because then it'll be abused by ADCs again...But yea as some one mentioned in this thread, chances are Resolve might need to get buffed and honestly, looking through it's tree compared to the others...it does need it
