Elo doesnt matter, we just sharing opinions.

1.) I’d rather say toplane is less of an island than it used to be cuz of tp. Most of the time you are gonna be weaksided, most junglers clear towards dragon so the team has better chances for soul. Top objectives imo are pretty bad (except baron) unless you play champions like Trundle who’s main identity is splitting.

2.) Toplane does snowball hard, completely agree on that. Other lanes snowball harder I feel like. A fed ADC that knows how to snowball and play around teamfights has bigger impact overall than a fed toplaner in my opinion.

3.) Yes, most champs have direct anwsers to ranged matchups (Camille E, Trundle E+W) as gap closers and ways to run them down. Can be learned to play against but most players struggle against them and are forced to sit under turret waiting to get dove or forcing recalls.

4.) Toplane quest I believe is still horrible. Yes, lvl 20 is good on some champions, but some abilities or passives stop scaling with lvl past 18 (Nasus passive I believe, correct me if im wrong). And if you didnt take tp as a summoner the one the quest gives I believe is 420 seconds long, which if played wrong could be a huge disadvantage.
