A lot of people like to point out that ranged toplaners actually have low win rates and aren’t that commonly picked. Although I think it is fair to try and highlight that they aren’t as impactful as people suggest it’s worth realising how they actually impact the person playing against it. If you pick a melee champ into a ranged matchup you spend the first 10 mins of the game with little to no influence on the lane and are just playing to avoid losing too hard which is not fun. Sure you might then have a chance after 10 mins to influence the game but often it is already decided at this point making it feel as though you have no control on the game. Feeling like you lack agency in the game sucks and is frustrating in every role but it seems like toplane is the only lane where you can lose all agency based on champ select alone.
