I am fed up with this game. I do not even mind losing but I truly hate being powerless to do a single thing.

My last game Master YI gets 1st blood and ends game with 18 odd kills. I died to him once.

So next game I ban yi only to play vs akali who snowballs vs Xerath (how?) and carries near 1 shorting everything even tanks.

Ban one burst assassin whoever picks the next wins.

In this stupid high burst low tower HP meta games are over within the 1st 5 minutes. First blood and tower ends the game.

So....I ask you....what champions are the best pushers top? I simply so not want to team play anymore I want to play alone push top and if I win great if team feeds nvm. At least I can say I won. Team play is overrated you're at the mercy of the most useless player in either team.

Yorick is your man. I main him. Yorick top or Trundle in the jungle guarantees first blood and tower. Trundle can come out of jungle push a lane out of their lane and w and then spam q on towers for first tower blood. Yorick can farm safe with Q and build creeps and be constantly pushing just ward river and wait for the chance to W the enemy and E them for an easy first blood followed by tower take with Maiden.

Galio has a very good laning phase and gets better with items

Jayce is a very good laner and can be incredibly obnoxious to deal with.

Shen has surprisingly high damage for tanky he can get, and with bami's cinder + tiamat can shove extremely hard and is generally very safe.

Gragas has high sustain and high base damage, coupled with his great initiation tools.

However, those are not typically 'split pushers' in the traditional sense, while all of them are great for doing so. If you want to AFK split push, I recommend champions with very high duel potential, such as Fiora, Tryndamere, and Jax. Remember though, after so many games you'll eventually fall to where you belong in ranked. If you're really trying hard to climb, the best advice is generally to play whatever champions/role you are best at. Given similar skill level, you will be able to carry more games by simply being better at the game than your opponents. Like I said earlier though, if you aren't better than your opponents then it's unlikely you will have much success at climbing.
