Why top lane feels USELESS | League of Legends S13

Nothing more exhilarating than going 4/0 and getting kited to death until you're 4/7 and lose the game because your bot lane is 2/31. Never happened to me though haha...

    I climbed to masters last season playing Ornn, and this season am climbing on K'Sante (currently only D2 though). I would say that I have impact about 10% of my games, and it's usually from junglers and mid laners for some reason deciding to skirmish over first herald. In games where one jungler is significantly ahead, I don't think I've ever seen them lose. It's really just an issue of resource acquisition speed. In top lane you generally get advantage over the course of 3 waves at a time, from either a push or a pull. You can deny half a wave, or sometimes even a full wave on a good freeze + back force. A dive can put you very far ahead, but nobody is going to help you with that, and good luck solo diving early game with Ornn or K'Sante. In comparison, mid can acquire resources basically every wave (shove and roam), and acquire more (double kill bot, dragon, etc). Bot lane and Jungle are the absolute pinnacle of resource acquisition, and jungle diving bot lane once can often create more gold advantage in one wave than I can in my entire laning phase. Double kill + dragon + 1|2 wave crash + 2 plates is equivalent to me denying about 15 fucking waves. And they can do this once every couple minutes. The gold lead that the other lanes build quickly becomes insurmountable, and my 20 minutes of carefully outtrading my opponent to inch out a minor advantage feels basically useless. It's disappointing to me, because I feel like the emphasis of solo que is currently on the least skilled part of the game. No thought to careful trading, wave management, etc. It's just run to lane and coinflip a dive. Win the dive, win the game. Lose the dive, ff15 next.

    The true problem with the toplane is that most match ups lead to stalemates that you can't break on your own + the fact noone ganks toplane. Against a lane neutraliser like most tanks, or a counter, or an opponent who's slightly ahead or even, even though you can be 100x better than your opponent, you still need your team to play around you to give you enough of a lead so that you can snowball in order to start impacting the game. Since noone ever bothers to come top when it matters, this makes for uninteractive stalemates, when we just push waves back and forth without ever getting anything done. I could litterally have the window wide open with flashy signs showing it, with golden chests and diamonds in sight in the inside, that noone would care to just boost me up a notch so I can get in and throw it out the window to share with everyone... untill the window's gone. Tanks automatically lead to that state of stalemate, as they're all lane neutralisers and generally statcheck any bruiser after 1st buy. + They don't need to do shit to have impact, they have the impact included in their kits : CC, meatshielding, engage, with often indecent dmg too, no matter how they did in lane. Tanks are just OP right now. Juggernauts statcheck bruisers and tanks so hard they can just roll over the toplane and become a headache for everyone just by existing. Roam once, let him 1 push, or have him unganked for a little and you got yourself an unstoppable monster who can just 1v3 without a care in the world. Junglers have no fucking idea how toplane works: wave management, match ups, toplane win conditions, which spells to play around, strong and weak timings, reset timers etc. But they also fucking suck at their own role and at the game in general : identify lane prio, utilise it, ensure it through lane assistance to secure an objective, RESPECT lack of prio, identify win conditions other than "coinflip drakes and spam coinflip gank ennemy ADC", look and analyse lane states, identify and utilise gank / dive timers and counter gank / dive timers, shadow the laner or provide deep vision, play around laners' tempo to create plays with number advantages, assist giving laners tempo or reset timers or fixing their wave or lane state ETC. Often 1 gank in a 15min time frame is all that I need from my jungler to ENABLE me to snowball into an easy win condition that spreads its lead on every other lane, but junglers just don't care or are too stupid to even see. SOLUTIONS : - Make herald a faster objective to clear / spawn it earlier - give kills on the same target dicreasing value and on varied targets increasing value. - nerf botside plates gold / shared xp / buff topside plates gold - nerf drake value or spawn it later - erase jungle catch up XP and make counter jungling more punishing in order to punish permagankers and lvl 2-3 gankers. When i think about it, most of toplane's problems come from the last season's retarded jungle changes that killed most of the jungle's strategic part and the balance between farming and ganking, by clearly favouring permagankers who can fuck up your lane and go unpunished.

    I was a yorick otp from s8 to s9. I played him non-stop and I enjoyed toplane (I pretty much hated every other role but I digress) They made a number of changes to top that I absolutely despise. At the top of the list is the teleport nerf, but also the sustain nerfs you pointed out. They also made the game all about oneshotting (introducing the oneshot meta) where every game felt like a coinflip of who got their snowball going first and since you are stuck on an island, being able to influence that said snowball are sometimes hard and sometimes impossible. Then the angel choir sang and durability patch was introduced I was becoming carefully optimistic, only to remember that slayers exist and they get to have their cake and eat it too and sunfire was the most broken thing to exist for the rest of that season (more or less) Since then I became a midlaner, I realized that having a shorter lane for a non-mobile bruiser like yorick with ALOT of poke was actually better (still have to deal with a million dashes matchups but again I digress) After they "buffed" teleport to work at 10 min I ended up trying toplane again for like 2 games only to realize its worse than ever to play that role and never tried it again. TLDR: Toplane is fking awful to play right now

    In addition to all that, due to the how snowbally and high damage league has become, the counterpicking in toplane has just gotten worse and worse. Toplane has the hardest counterpicks and the least comeback mechanics. And many of those counterpick champs are pushed frequently through buffs for some reason. Toplaners dont have the scaling of many midlaners or ADCs to fall back on - thats just the nature of being melee. You cannot efficiently roam like midlane can, either, due to your map position. In midlane, even when behind 3 kills, good roams can get you back into the game formidably AND you have an impact on the game. And toplane wave management really puts the nail into the coffin. There is a reason freezes are way less efficient in mid and botlane. And freezing, as a strategy, honestly sucks. It's pretty uninteractive for both sides. But its the best thing you can do, there is no point in pushing if the enemy plays defensively - you got nowhere to roam to anyway. Midlane being particulary hard to gank for slower melee champs exarcerbates this issue. I realize that there are no easy fixes for toplane - between the way the map is set up, the inherent disadvantages of melee champions, the volatile nature of bruisers and juggernauts, the tons of champs that are just coded to be hard-counters.. it's a lot. But damn, it's not like riot is the small indie company they like to play pretend as.

    I do still think that the lane itself just has a high skill ceiling, though. Since you're alone in a long lane, you have plenty of room to completely annihilate your opponent over the tiniest of mistakes, and vice versa. Matchup knowledge also seems more important, since you can't just get level 3 and never step in lane again like in mid To be fair, though, I don't play top lane a lot, I just pick Shen, go for cheesy level 2-3 trades, and just play as a global shield bot. Any real top lane main would curb-stomp me

Or I get camped and dived and am useless all game while my jg does nothing. Top kind of feels like an extension of the jg success not your own, generally when I win lane it's only because their jg didn't gank well enough or at all and when I lose it's because they camped me. But every other role is so boring to me, top is really the only place where people actually want to fight usually and not just farm all game under turret, of course that can happen top too (those games I usually just get team gapped because not fighting and not getting kills top is basically just an insta loss)

    There are solutions to giving top lane win conditions. I say give too lane some new summoner spells or items that allow you to push really hard and fast on a cooldown or requirement such as a kill in the side lane. It empowers your minions with a frenzy to do more damage to towers. This way solo lanes can actually threaten to end and require attention, you can’t base race them either thanks to the new pushing power they will have. You can simply make it a buff if In solo lane that you push and empower minions if no enemy champ is near you within 1000 distance. It’s like a hull breaker but enemy champs can deactivate it by guarding the lane so it’s not entirely oppressive if you’re ahead. Forces dives and good laning past 14 minutes and you can win that way.

    im not high elo very skilled toplane main but i love this lane, i have a huge experience with every champion, i know the counterpicks for anyone and for me this season as usual was a joke, i climbed in g4 (like usual) for 56 games with 64.5% winrate. Toplane is isolated its true, but toplaner doesnt need to be with the team everytime. You need to have good macro, micro, lane managment, splitpush knowledge, map awareness, you need to know when to snowball your teammates in midgame, or snowball yourself. Toplane is more "nothing happens" lane on first sight, but when you realize how much you need to know and to do, to be usefull... Its so crazy. Even if you have 6/0 Morde as you said, you need to build him properly, you need to know how to counter everyone and become a threat. Not like braindead adc role where you just need to build mythic - ie and then coinflip every fight in hope that your support will press buttons. Thats why i love toplane, its pure skill expression, not for crybabes, not for autofiiled people who blame jungler for everything. If you died bcos of enemy jg gank, it YOUR fault, you should be more aware, if you dont place deepwards on river, dont buy pinks its your fault that jg permacamps you. I can continue for long time but the only thing i dont like about toplane is retarded chamions like tank akali, or vayne, or lethality sion. However you need to be realy good on them, to beat real toplane main.

    Top lane has some of the best impact on the outcome of the game post lane phase. They are the ones who generate the most macro pressure by pushing lanes and making plays with the team. They're independently strong and even when not ahead are typically able to 1v2 the enemy bot lane without a severe struggle. Your bot lane and Jg is doing bad and you have no dragons? Then how come you aren't taking top towers when the enemy team fights for drag? Or bot towers when they baron? Even if you get camped, the lane is entirely about skill. Can you 1v1 your laner? Can you manage your waves so you don't miss gold and exp? Do you use your TP to catch the canon or save it in case you get dove and would otherwise miss even more? Is it 12 minutes and you're saving it to have a number advantage at dragon? I have seen and been the top laner who carries the game solely through their own actions. Top laners have serious impact. Everyone always just wants to complain about how shitty their role is to feel like they deserve something, when it is simply not the case. League is in one of the best states it's ever been in right now, though with many questionable choices (The recent smite nerf on pets is just unreal.) it is still a healthy environment.

    I do agree that top lane can be impactful, but it's a reality that the role starts to lose popularity in higher elos for a reason. In the same way that the top laner can take side lane turrets, so can an ADC when hovered by someone else, and they do just as fast while being safer, and when it comes to teamfights, other roles often have more impact on how they play out, especially with an enchanter + ADC duo

    Top is unfixable, becuase if you give top lane more agency, the support and adc will just play in the top lane. The top lane only has 1 player in it because it is less important. The only way to fix top lane is to make it a 6v6, which defeats the perpose of top lane, or drastically change how the game functions for only top laners.

    I remember that when TP was still usable on minions before 14 minutes, top lane would usually have a role to play in early bot fights and skirmishes. It was miserable for bot laners who couldn't engage in anything without 5 people showing up all of a sudden, but at least the top had a role to play there. For now, top lane is that extra lane you get when you need a frontline or split-push guy, but the lane itself only seems to exist in order to accomodate champions that don't fit elsewhere
