Why playing top lane sucks

Because you can go 3/0 in lane and by the 10 minute mark, your mid will be 1/10 and your jungler will be 0/6, having fed 2 deaths to each lane. And then, of course, you'll lose the same LP as them, or MORE if you are a higher rank than your teammates. What a FANTASTIC ranked system we have riot. This jungler going 0/6 was actually worse than the jungler I had the previous game, who was AFK the entire game.

And you wonder why so many people are losing interrest in your game. You don't need to keep reworking champs and runes, YOU NEED TO FIX THIS CRAP.

so you lose games where at least 60% of your team is doing bad?

I am not a top main, but I do play quite a bit of gangplank. He's not as bad, as he still has quite a bit of carry potential in my opinion.

I get tired of everyone ganking bot lane and being 4 man dived with my ADC and no back up.

As a Top main, I know what you mean. I even went 10/1 a few games ago. Ended up losing going 13/7 because adc/support is 1/13, mid is 1/6, and jg is 4/7. Game is pointless. Im just gonna start playing ADC Jayce now, if that doesnt work then im just leaving League until Riot fixes this trash lane. They give top lane no love.

It's pretty bad. I can't remember having these kind of games in earlier seasons where there is NOTHING you can do. I had a dozen already in preseason only. Being 2/0 top getting double kill lvl 3 when the enemy jungler comes. 5 mins later i'm 3/1 but the map is actually 3/17. WAT. Jungler spends his entire time top but everyone gets shit on so hard. You might think a fed fighter accounts for SOMETHING to stall out the game. Nope. Or search my match history for that 2/2 camille game. 2/0 top and yeah game was lost i tried and eventually just went afk and got a leaverbuster for it. Sorry that i'm not going to play a game that is lost at 11 minutes and got ended at 14 mins. I'd rather grab a cigarette and prepare for the next shitfest. I also don't even think that it is necessarily the game balance what actually bothers me is that these type of games so far ALWAYS happen after winning three or four games in a row. Just randomly thrown in to make sure you don't climb too fast and make you tilt. I've won games where i myself was 3/12 only by splitting and killing their base solo, the game should have been long lost for us, not only because of me but because of everyone still my team wasnt full of potatoes and that's he thing, you CAN come back and carry/turn around games when you actually play with decent people but these one sided stomp fest don't happen because people misplayed but rather because they are complete potatoes who should actually be three tiers lower.

Atleast that's my observation i could be wrong too whatever. If i had to tinfoil hat i'd say matchmaking actually throws a stick between your legs every so often if you win too much. Same as after a few losses you get these games where you could legit run it down mid and still win the game.

Doesn't matter what lane you play in. This is a game where your teammates (and your enemies) each have just as large an impact on the outcome as you do. There will be games where you do well and lose, and there will be games where you do poorly and win. On average, you'll win more of the games that you do well in than those you do poorly in. If that doesn't appeal to you, 1v1 custom games are always an option.

That sounds more like a match making problem than a lane problem.

A top lane problem is that you're either getting poked out by 8 abilities or you're getting out damaged by a tank
