As a Top Laner, I'm tired of beating my Opponent but lose the game because the Enemy ADC is 10/2/3

On top of that, the game usually ends by the 25 min mark, meaning I have no chance to come back. It is so annoying to go through all the effort of denying CS to my opponent, getting 2 early kills, pushing the lane just to have enemy jungler camp me because he doesn't need to go bot anymore and Top is ways easier to gank than Mid (I usually don't get killed because more than 2 times because I have been playing the game for a while, but with the constant ganks I can't snowball either and can lose tower). Seriously whether I win or lose I feel like I have no agency in the game unless I pick my main Kled and manage to get fed out of my butt and proceed to chain gank Mid and Bot every time my Ult is up. Thing is, I don't want to play Kled all the time; I want to have fun and use characters like Urgot and Yorick as well, but because those characters aren't kill carries I feel like I have no say on who wins the match: My teammates on bot do.

I won't presume to know if the problem is towers being so easy to kill after the 10 min mark, supports, adcs, other classes being too weak or Rift Herald being too powerful; or a combination of all these. However I find it extremely boring to feel like the matches are decided on champ select depending on who gets the more experienced players on bot lane, and feel like something needs to change urgently.

You don't have a say as a top laner. You are just filling a lane because it has to be filled.

there are ways you can be impactful, but yeah you aren't going to make or break the match.

I specifically say as a top laner because Top lane is the lane that has the lowest interactions with bot lane. As a mid laner or jungler at least I can try to snowball bot lane by ganking them or pushing mid lane fast and going help bot. As a Top laners unless you are playing a very specific champ like Kled, Galio or Shen you can't really help bot lane unless they ward the opposite bush and you have TP up to help them. This specifically is why I feel so powerless
