Top lane is nothing like the suicide lane from Dota, where you are mostly ignored until the teamfight phase of the game. I find that no matter how well(or lack there of) I do in lane, I seem to get a target on my head that says "Jungler Target". I know the obvious is just warding and playing safe, but that leads to lane freezes and my own disadvantage. Any advice for 'deaggroing' the enemy jungler lol
Kasara1 votesI hate playing top, but I manage. What I do is go someone with escape skill/cc and have tp. Even if top is getting frustrating, being able to tp bot and get a bot advantage is a HUGE lead. Especially since dragon is there as well. Other than that, there's what you stated. Grab 2 green wards on your first back and place one in between mid and top and another closer to you. There's roaming too, but if you're against someone that snowballs hard off of farming, it can either go good or bad. I know freezing your lane sucks if you like to play aggressive, but if you wait and only hit the minions on the last hit, it makes it easier for your jungler to gank for you and you shouldn't have a huge disadvantage on farm. After all, 16 cs is equivalent to one kill! Said all that.... farm, ward, know when to engage and disengage, save tp to get your allies fed. This is probably meh advice, but I try! :D
NicoNicoREEEEEE1 votesJust play safe laners, playing someone without an escape is basically handing the jungler free kills every 5 min when your flash is down.
Pelican Cove1 votesI spose just cross my fingers that bot does ok XD
NicoNicoREEEEEE1 votesYour goal as a top laner is to be a threat mid/late game. If you stomp your lane, you need to roam. Get drakes, Gank Mid, counter jungle, etc. You need to use your power when you win lane, instead of just endlessly splitpushing and dying when you get 3 man ganked.
SexyTaylorSwift1 votesWard and don't push. Problem solved.
Pelican Cove1 votesGetting last hits pushes the wave...
SexyTaylorSwift1 votesThat is exactly the opposite of what happens. If you only last hit, the wave doesn't push at all. If anything, the wave will push your way if your opponent is not only last hitting.
NicoNicoREEEEEE1 votesIf you auto the wave all the time, it pushes the wave. If you only last hit, and the enemy only last hits the wave will freeze.
Leti the Yeti1 votesif your team starts out at the top right of the map, i find that 1 pink ward near their jungle entrance kinda stops all ganks... i use it often when i have to go hard ass mtherfker against nasus
Pelican Cove1 voteswill have to try that
Langyy1 votesTry to play champs with good escape and CC. For example I play 
and 
, Irelia's E locks them down and her Q could be used as an escape depending on the situation. The monkeys W is a big distraction to most people and during ganks most junglers focus on that, hes E can also be used as an escape and his ult can be used to knockup and get away since it adds movement speed. Hope this helps!
