Need help top lane.

I feel like I cannot help my team much when I play top. I usually get good k/d/as, but i know that doesn't necessarily help my team. If I could get tips on how to improve on top lane that would be great. I prefer mid or adc but when I top I like playing garen shyvana fiora http://na.op.gg/summoner/champions/userName=Poseidon1813

So, you have your main goal on top lane: win lane. It sounds like you do that decently. But what you do with a won lane is what matters. If you force your opponent to back, back off a bit to look like you're recalling, and roam mid for a gank. snowball bot lane with a nice teleport. Make their jungler come top to save that tower or to gank you (and fail!). People say that top lane is an island. They're wrong. You are not alone. That is why teleport is so mandatory on top laners, not just for getting into lane (or adcs would take it) but to move around the map. Gotta have that map pressure.

protip on pantheon: if you see the enemy jungler or mid coming for a gank and can't escape because you pushed too far to the opponent tower and they flanked you, but they need at least 3 seconds to get to you, just run into a bush and ult a random place on the map that you can see and are in range for (best is the place behind golems or wight). This works against any laner without skillshot cc, which is most tops.

Roam and TP gank. situationally pressure the enemy jungler. Build more team fight oriented(aka tankier if you're a melee)

Always take TP as top then, if you want to make sure other lanes win, and your own. Don't use TP to go top unless it's being shoved super hard. Save it for fights such as Dragon, or the fight of the bot lane.
