State of toplane discussion with Wickd IreliaCarriesU Hashinshin and Ethug
Saw this 1h30 video (kinda long) but a lot of good points are made by high elo toplane mains: For what I remember,
- Ranged tops and tanks are quite too strong and powercreeping between each other; cause tanks get good items to survive against ranged champions, and ranged champions damage are calculated to deal damage to tanks, yet bruisers are left out, and they get destroyed by both.
- For adcs, one of the problems is the item cost but also the exp they gain was buffed and should be less high, they spike too early in the game. It's fine if they have a lot of gold, as long as they're down on levels and the fact exp is distributed in botlane really feels impactful.
- There aren't really great items for bruisers. Their items are expensive and feel mostly like just stat boosts, while for other classes it impacts a lot their gameplay.
- Bruisers barely have an identity or a moment where they're strong. They don't win lane, they get outscaled massively in teamfights by tanks.
- Splitpush is kinda garbage right now (and many other points)
Great discussion tbh, even though we might know hashinshin for exxagerating always about things, he makes fair points too and wickd, ireliacarriesu and ethug do agree the state of top is concerning for bruisers. Wanted to share, good video to see (quite long I'm sad)
