i find toplane to be able to carry most.

you are innately tanky, have good damage and often a dash/mobility modifier, as well as sololane farm and experience advantage.

due to less kills/forces etc, you generally have about the same/more gold and more exp, making it easy to push the lane down should you dominate it, and invade enemy jungle or going to roam.
