Top is the hardest lane in the game. By far.

If you find yourself being counter-picked up top, you are probably screwed unless your lane opponent is bad and/or you get extra jungle help. Not to mention, if you fall behind top for whatever reason, it is the easiest lane to snowball your lane opponent out of control. At least the other lanes have more leeway to BS if need be.
