Sett's Welcoming to Top Lane

Sett : Look out! There's a new Boss 'Round Here- huh?

Darius approaches Sett and gives him a hearty handshake.

Darius : Welcome to Top Lane! It's time for your orientation!

Shen comes up and hands Sett a Doran's Shield he has Jerry-rigged to be an umbrella-like contraption

Shen : Here, you'll want one of these.

Sett : I don't want no shield! I'm here to punch people in the face!

Jax : What's all the yelling about- Oh, it's the new guy.

Sett : You my opponent? Well, your face had better get ready to meet my fist-

Jax suddenly gets a Silver-Bolt jammed through the side of his head, shocking Sett, but Jax seems completely unfazed. (Visualize something like the "Arrow through a Cowboy Hat Costume")

Sett : What the?! Where'd THAT come from?

Jax : Oh, that? It's just the-

Sett doesn't listen however, and looks, and across the way, he sees a Vayne tumbling and shooting.

Sett : Fighting from a DISTANCE?! That'd never fly in my pits!

Darius : You got a lot to learn, newbie- hmm?

Shen taps Darius on the shoulder.

Shen : Sorry to interrupt. Looks like a spot of rain.

Darius : Oh, you're right. Holds up his Doran's Umbrella

All around them, silver bolts, crossbow bolts, Twin Fangs, magic runes and all sorts of other ranged means of attack start falling all around them like raindrops.

Sett : What is this!? I thought Top lane was where people fought up close and personal!

Darius : Those were the old days, newbie. Smiles wistfully as he recalls previous seasons

Ornn approaches them.

Ornn : Hrrm, yes. Times have changed since then.

Jax : Yeah, now it's all about being-

However, Jax is cut off when an frustrated scream erupts, and everyone looks.

Garen : JUSTICE WILL BE SERVED!

Garen activates his Q, running at the Vayne. She points at him like from "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"

Vayne : Banshee-like Screech

Out of the brush comes every Jungler in the book, and they bash and push back Garen until the Vayne stops screeching, and then she resumes farming.

Walking back around behind his Tower, Garen assumes the fetal position and starts crying.

Garen : Sobbing

Ornn : Poor guy. Still seems to think Top's meant for Melees.

Ornn walks off, as do Darius, Shen and Jax, who still has the silver Bolt jammed in the side of his head to join Garen in hiding underneath the turret from the downpour of Ranged attacks. With a displeased expression, Sett promptly raises his Doran's Umbrella as he takes his place.

Sett : This sucks.

Other Melee Champs: WE KNOW!

The vayne/Garen bit was actually really good

Hmm...yes. A lot of tents at top lane for some reason.

This is gold comedy story. I wish if we could ever get an artist or Riot to draw it or make it a short comic book.

Olaf to battle! -uses ultimate and runs down the screaming vayne-

Jax wish I could do that. I've mastered every weapon known to Ionia and passerby, can deflect speeding bullets and magical assaults...but those silver crossbow bolts somehow pierce my defenses and blow me across the battlefield. I may be the champ, but he takes it straight in the face!

Quinn : hey, it's olaf! How you been buddy!? Nobody sees you any more!

-quinn gets glared at by random melee characters-

Quinn "am I missing something?"

Chogath -mouth full and chewing- "om nom nom, naw, they're just reminiscing"

Quinn "good gravy it speaks, I mean, you speak!"

Sona ((MUTE)) "of course, he is not mute" -gets ignored-

DrMundo "mundo goes where he pleases! Is mundo interrupting!?"

-tosses cleaver as desired-

Quinn "wow, so many familiar faces today! also, gah! Where'd you come from!? I thought the league had banished you to the realms of nerf!?"

DrMundo "mundo goes where he pleases -slurp-"

Bruisers and tanks are actually way better in mid lane nowadays. Best case scenario you go against an assassin and win all the all in's. Worst case scenario you have to roam and force fights that you will always win.

I totally imagine this as a slapstick comedy performance on a stage lol

This is actually good, well done! P.s - Top Vayne players have no soul.

Hasn't Teemo been a top laner for years now? Although, I suppose in the previous seasons he was the only ranged top laner you had to worry about. At any rate, this was a very entertaining read, and it really hits home this feeling of loss. Top lane used to be where warriors went to test their skills against a singular opponent in honorable combat, but not anymore. I'm still grabbing Sett, especially since I got his calling card, but I'm not looking forward to this dynamic.

Doran's umbrella, if you're next to your tower you can't be reduced below 1HP by ranged abilities or autoattacks

LMFAOOOOOO this is hilarious

If you ain't got at least 3 dashes in your kit as a melee fighter, there aint no place in this game for you

Thankfully, other than Vayne, Sett can at least lane vs ranged top laners.

Remember old Morde simply shrugging off ranged attacks by gaining shields and healing with W?

I 'member... Those were the days...

I saw a Darius in top lane against a Lucian in Challenger a couple weeks ago. Darius couldn't play the game.

Maybe he needed that umbrella.

I could see this happening in a randomville episode.

I was waiting for one of the other top laners to be like "Who the hell is that?" when Ornn walked in. :P

Enjoyed reading this. Top lane sucks, but it's still our home c:
