I main top lane mostly, Rumble, Tryndamere, little bit of Master Yi and Wukong, but I don't feel... completed. I mean, I play Ranked on it and do ten times worse than in a normal game. Is there something I'm missing? Should you not play as aggressively in Ranked as in normal? I don't know, but lookin' for tips. Anyone got any?

FedAsFuk1 votesTop lane is alot of TP, roams and farm denial, learn to freeze lane and deny CS. It is more important in top lane than any other, top seems to be ignored by most JGs. Also old video but the concepts stand, learn these concepts and you will notice a drastic improvement in your play.

Thanks! I probably won't have enough time to watch this all, but its good advice. I've also learned the hard way to freeze lane and deny CS, especially when laning against a Nasus. Push lane and deny CS, doesn't work when he's farming under tower. Lol.
Though, its weird, I'd assume top lane would be the least ganked as its isolated from dragon and it would be best to gank mid and bot and keep control on it, but every time I top lane I seem to be either ganked several times until I'm simply too weak to win lane any more, or literally just camped. This happens a lot with Nasus where the junglers just sit there so Nasus can farm stacks while you have to sit back, lose your CS advantage, and allow him to stack up so he eventually doesn't even need jungler help.
FedAsFuk1 votesAgainst a Nasus you deny farm and when you can roam to impact map you roam, if you sit in lane and do nothing you will lose. You HAVE to take OBJECTIVES

Thanks! Nasus has been a big pain in my ass since I started maining top lane. Lol.
Zoratu1 votesA good strategy for top lane is to make their jungler camp you by being overextended a lot and wasting the enemies time WITHOUT DIEING or trading your death for one of theirs because then your jungler can pressure the bot side of the map and take drags, kills, and towers. Not only does this relieve pressure off other lanes but it also makes their jungler get behind if they stay too long. To do this you need good vision so make sure your lanes always warded.
When your ahead try to roam and get other lanes ahead or if a lanes overextended gank it and try to get a kill/summoner spell.
Try to have a decent champion pool for top lane because usually top lane just fills in holes in the team comp. EX. Your team has a yi jungle, katarina mid, and janna/vayne bot you would probably want to pick someone with hard engage like malphite or wukong.
