I have a question about top lane tactics when you have the advantage, specifically when you're able to zone them out.

Generally, I see two different methods when people take the lead. (1) Zone your opponent while staying in your lane most of the time. (2) Constantly push the wave to your opponent's tower to either keep pressure in your lane (ie hotshot ) or roam (ie voyboy), but their top lane opponents are able to catch up. I should also note that neither of the top laners has teleport.

I guess it mainly depends on whether you're playing arranged or solo q, but I realized that I'm more of a (1) aka conservative player regardless whether I'm playing solo q or not. I like to think that if the rest of the lanes are doing fine or even mediocre against their respective lanes, (1) seems to be the better choice in my opinion. Because I'm able to deny their top cs by freezing the wave pushed to my tower (best example is probably pantheon because he can zone easily as well as get to dragon in time), it makes their top relatively useless in team fights.

But I noticed that most high elo solo q players take the (2) approach regardless whether their team's lanes are doing well or not. This brings to my question: Why do they do this? Doesn't it allow your opponent catch up in cs. And if you were hotshot and pushed all day, you'd be vulnerable to ganks unless you're nidalee or the like. If you were Voyboy and start roaming, a simple mia call would make your roams a waste of time.

Arguing that male characters are sexist to the same extent that female characters are is a pretty disingenuous argument. Like all the female characters are all caricatures from a male prospective. I don't really see how "all" woman would wish they could just have a big rack or ass. It basically means that how women see themselves as pretty in real life is pretty different from how males look at women.

The muscular dudes in lol is pretty much embodiments of male physical virtues. I think its fair to say that most men would be pretty happy being buff or whatnot. The exaggeration is pretty much just an extension of the dominant male thought patterns.

To wrap up the argument, its not just a question of mf have big boobs. Its the fact the majority of the female characters are designed in a way to specifically to appease to the male audience. Sure sex sells, but that dosen't make it any less sexist.

To rant on a little bit more, I think the gaming community have a "LONG" way to go to fix the sexist thing. Like the amount of hate I seen toward female only-league in the starcraft-2 section was baffling.

I mean lee sin can win trades against these guys for a while, but he isn't the best at harassing someone under tower or anything. Irelia at least pre changes started winning with max hiten style and some attack speed or armour.
