There's points in the video that I do agree with. And, some of them is vague and make your reader confuse.

[@wds-df5lh]

In Mordekaiser v.s Kayle, you do have options that split push and teamfight for dragon or baron as objective, but trading tower and let your teammate die in dragon fight is not worth always.

[@wds-df5lh]

You can ping your teammate but they are free to follow or not.

[@wds-df5lh]

The only point you want to focus is not give the free snowball to Kayle, means that no matter Kayle choose to cs or teamfight, your focus is not letting opponent team wins the teamfight. The value of winning teamfight is not same as trading inhibit tower. Most of the time, winning teamfight can win you game easily.

Pretty good guide to introduce the toplane. I really liked that 1st advice about patience, that's what I always tell people about the toplane : it's mostly about patience, which does make it a bit harder to take a liking to. I'd then add there's also a lot of pure mechanics, game and match up knowledge, wave management, jungle tracking and, of course, macro involved. All the rest that's mentionned in the guide about toplane's snowbally / punitive state and different wave control techniques and so on is also spot on.

@@alessgr9394 it’s because you don’t impact the map before that, and the first 20 minutes are the most impactful.

lately i started play rell top and limit tested on who i can fight early or not (which led me to feed quite a lot) and now i play really safe against them while completely crushing the other being sometimes around 6/1/2 while not getting help from my jng and getting ganked by the enemy and often use a lot of the freeze/slow push to roam or fight since i still don't want risking plates with my bami's and only when i see the jungler pinging that he's coming or if he's close to top i unlock my E to garantee the most pressure. this guide will help me a little more about the patience part i think

In low elo I tend to find that when 3 or more come for a side later your team usually just bad mouths u in chat rather then witnessing your god play of bringing there entire team into one lane for one person .

[@williamlindroos2250]

Good video, I think you should have mentioned proxying what it is and how to play against it, and the you can proxy a wave to gain a small tempo advantage. Something that I like to do if Im stomping lane is after I get tower(especially if plates are still up) I switch preferebly with bot lane or mid if I dont think they will be able to get the plates. As Sion for example(who I play alot) you can easly run down even a fed adc and supp if you go ghost and have sunfire and boots beacuse of your level and gold advantage.

[@gen.tucker6024]

Thing about many toplane champs is you don't need to go anywhere to fight the enemy, because you can force the enemy to come fight you on toplane. If you are winning hard they will have to send more than their measly toplaner to stop you, at which point you can stall or fight if you know you'll win against whatever they threw at you. If you fall behind the enemy toplaner your new game mission is to survive. If you die once and lose a few minions you can still win the game, you just need to stay super safe under your turret and accept losing a few more minions. As long as you can still defend a tower on your own without being 1v1 dove by the enemy top, you're still fine. If you lose so hard that you need teammates to defend tower, that's when you are starting to really get into a near impossible situation. Usually that would require a crazy amount of deaths though, as if you are playing a tanky top you should still be able to defend under your turret against most enemy toplaners. This is why I'd stongly advice against super squishy toplaners because if you fall behind with those, you might as well go afk.

[@SuperPartymonster123]

They don't mention this but from top to mid lane gank. Always look before you go to help.

[@OhNehNee]

first good video in a while. better than those “we sent a smurf into low elo” videos

[@spatialguy8358]

This is a truly amazing guide! However, i still have a question, what are you supposed to do in a scenario where, let's say the enemy jungler camps you, gets both heralds and you find yourself left only with your tier 3 tower. What is there to do? (no ff 15 btw)

[@dandelion44444]

If enemy jungler camp you like that, just dont die and let your team win other side of map with your jungler

[@TsunKnight]

Gonna be honest, your team isn’t gonna capitalize on that. I’m sorry

[@FilthyGaijin]

@@dandelion44444 Jajajajaja nice one. You know that just doesn't happen.

[@MT-oo5zc]

GG jgl diff go next Nah but if that happens, u should look at what ur teams wincon is rn. Did my botlane get a lead bc enemy jungler is perma top? (ofc not its soloq and adc players lack brain cells) Did my jgl secure any dragons? Who of my team is the strongest rn? What champ do I play? Tanks dont need that much gold, skirmishers however often do. If there is nothing to fight over and you want to farm safely, have the eave be at yout t3 tower. I know enemy top will roam, but thats not in your hand. As long as midgame goes on and there is no objective to fight for, you just survive and farm. If there wont be someone to kill you, take towers. If your that far behind, the game for now is not in your hands, so you need to ping and hope your team lets you come back as much as possible, but dont perma group until its lategame, bc you individually will never get stronger even if u win teamfights

[@spatialguy8358]

[@johnadams5694]

12:28 The Kayle actually wasn't forced to respond to top. It's okay if one single creep wave crashes into a tower. Kayle could have figured out that Morde wasn't in that lane anymore, and could've joined the Dragon fight.

[@Johnny_200]

I remember a time where I smurfed as nautilus top in bronze. Thought it would be funny to play a support top. However, naut has somes pretty nice early game damage so I could get fed quite quickly, then always pushed wave and left to roam. Yes the enemy took two towers but throughout the game I got my behind midlaner back i to the game, pissed the enemy jungle off, stole one baron and dove the botlane for 5 kills for them total. Yes I technically lost lane but I made every other lane win. I love how people say top has no impact, because you aren't doing it right. If you have utility, go help your team, it's worth it. A tank is not amazing if they get fed, become supertanky but never show their ass until the enemy team is already in your base

idk about the solo herald. if they have vision on it or are just guessing you're doing it their mid jgl top can just collapse on you gg ez ty 4 leash

[@teteouf]

Try to have a global vision on map during lane to know when the jungler isnt top side, and If ur lane is push + jungler is dead or ganking another lane = go fast to herald

[@raphaelnej8387]

if you get to higher elo, where opponents pushes faster when they know you are gone and where you can get turned on by mid+jgl+top, what you want to do is to start herald when your jgl is doing is top jgl, so that he comes afterwards and you let him finish it while you catch up the wave in time. btw herald top sucks always give him to your jgl so he drops it mid. Herald top doesn’t suck when you finish top tower with it + kill toplaner + get 2nd herald charge.

Top is supposed to not impact the rest of the map in the earlier stages of the game, but how about Shen? How should he juggle keeping a lead top and using his ultimate? Often when I'm playing Shen, I get ahead, I save allies, but by doing so I allow the enemy top laner to catchup

[@gypouch]

shen tp

[@ileanagheorghisor]

@@gypouch i play with tp but with it's cd I use it twice a game

[@Warmolt48]

Try to get a dive mid w/ your jungle, and then rotate top w/ jungle and steal enemy camps/kill/turret, just try to capitalize on mid and leave bot on the side, is what I'd recommend.

[@lz6894]

i played shen always with ignite, his early is just too good and way too easy to abuse, you can fight anything pre6 on top that is melee and uses mainly autoattacks as dmg just apply pressure on your lane with slowpushes, even if you have to ult on bot the gold you miss on minions is even with the gold if you get kills or some assists. and dont forget you play shen. after lvl 6 the lane is over if you didnt get a good early lead. (no ult in 1vs1 is hard, with ignite you can still try) so you just hold your lane as good as you can(try to push it out before a fight could occure on other lanes) and you play for your carry. dont waste your ult on the lee sin jungle with 0-4. You have to focus on the teammate that will carry with you (kogmaw, assasin with a good early lead, Azir with 3 Items and so on)

[@ileanagheorghisor]

@@lz6894 thank you so much!!!!

[@dulook]

Thank you for this informative and educational video!

[@OnlySoloQueue]

So, always fast push if you want to leave your lane, only freeze lane at low level 3/4. If you're behind try to help your team at objectives, easier if you have tp so you can tp back to lane. But most importantly just stick at the side lanes even though your team is grouping mid. Just ping them 1000 times if they are about to fight.

[@raphaelnej8387]

in mid game you don’t want to stick to sidelane, you want to keep sidelane pushed and chill in the jungle, looking for opportunities. The pushed sidelane gives you: - gold and xp advantage if opponent doesn’t come push. - vision and tempo on opponent if it does. - allow to take tower if opponent shows elsewhere - allow to fight 5v4 when opponent pushes - allow to predict opponent’s future actions, for potential trap after they are done defending. If you are the one who loses 1v1, if you can escape your opponent, then you can have the same plan except you cant push if the opponent is here so you stay until they leave. if you also can’t escape from your opponent, like a fed fiora or tryndamere or darius with ghost (assuming you can survive under tower) you just stay under tower and defend until they leave to join a fight and you tp to join, with no tp there isn’t much to do, you can either push and possibly get resources if your team happens to win 5v4 or go around to join fight late and maybe have some use.

[@ridikelus4413]

there's no way, if they already decided to path top or bot based on "my porofessor says so" its a red flag onto jungler

jungler starting botside as toplaner is pretty good.he will be topside with lvl 3/4 so you get the first gank (or your mid) and that can isntantly decide one of those lanes(top more than mid) but normally you can just tell him the call in championselect? hay im playing maokai top, pretty bad in 1v1 but i can get you fed with all my cc and the enemy is just a kayle that is easily killable if you tell him why you have good gank setup and that he can get free kills because of that win/win if you write: "wHy sTaRt bOt sIdE???????" that will not work on the role that has to take the most shit from his teammates

In the same example shown with the Ornn, ping your team off the objective and just farm.

If they rush the fight and die for it, then there’s not much you can do; just use your teammates’ deaths as a distraction to farm.

[@chincrimson3970]

When you go for a play ping on my way 2-3 times and assistance 1-2 times. Should do the trick

[@Pyrrha_Nikos]

You can only control your own champion. If your teammate doesn't follow up, it's not up to you. The important thing is to consistently do the correct play. If you get a good roam timing and your mid is poking his nose under his tower, then you just walk back top and understand that it's the correct play on the wrong teammate. If you see the same play in a different game, you should still go for it and hopefully your new mid will move

[@JustFollowingOrdersYT]

Keep looking at the map as you're rotating. If you're teammate is playing safe or the enemy Mid decides to start backing off it's ok for you to branch off and do something else. Is scuttle up? That alone provides enough safety for you to warrant a rotation if you're ahead. Did the enemy jungle show botside? That looks like a free blue to me! Even if it's just placing a ward a little deeper than usual you can find something of value if you're not sure about the Mid gank, just try to not think in such set flowchart decisions.
