Wait never mind because anytime I play it, I get matched against abusive ranged spam and have half the cs as my lane opponent while getting pushed out of my lane for 15 minutes straight.

Really exciting gameplay, just remove this fucking role from the game already. It has been like this since season 4.

I personally don't think you're looking at the situation the right way. If you stand in a ranged champions face and take AA from AA when you're trying to farm minions, you're just going to be harassed to death. Plane and simple. You need to be playing these fights AGGRESSIVELY as a melee champ.

If an enemy ranged champion pushes you under tower, pop ghost and run them back to THEIR tower. Most of the time, it's a free kill if you're playing a strong lane bully. Phase Rush was an amazing rune before the buff that only became more bonkers with the latest patch. Lane bullies such as Darius and Renekton have ridiculous sticking power with this rune and can start racking up damage FASTER since they can reach ranged top laners FASTER.

Even if your champion doesn't have sticking power, there's S+ tier champions like Ornn with ridiculous zoning power who don't even need base movement speed because of their kits. You use Q to zone off friendly minions, and if you manage to strike the ranged laner with it or they misstep, you E into the pillar and pound them with so much CC that they can't react before losing half their health. If you have summoner spells up, follow up with your Call of the Forge god, reproc your brittle stacks, and ignite. #BigMoney300GWorthM7Flash

The only ranged champion that needs a rework is Vayne IMO. I'm fine with True Damage since it can be countered with health, but % Max Health True Damage needs to be removed. Itemizing against it is literally impossible, no matter how much health you have.

But.... Top lane isn't a role. (>_>)

If you're saying get rid of an entire lane though, I'm all in favor! Maybe even make the map smaller with fewer champs and no overlapping income streams. . .

Exactly. I made a thread complaining about this.

Top lane is incredibly toxic right now, because the sheer number of counters to every single champion is absurd. These reached insane levels recently, with Riot finally moving to nerf Sona and Soraka.

But Sona and Soraka were just a symptom of the problem. Vayne, Aphelios, Quinn, Lucian, and other ADC champions being viable top lane is absurd. They really need to do something to prevent all these crazy early game counters from ruining top lane.

I think that top tower range should be doubled for the first 10 minutes of the game. This would allow players to safe farm under the tower without being poked to death.

The real problem with top lane is the insane distance between towers. It amplifies matchups and hard counters. You fall so behind before you can even get items and abilities which might level the playing field. By giving players 10 minutes of 2x tower range in top lane, you at least give them a chance to get some farm and not die early on. That will reduce the toxicity of the hard counters top lane.
