Why Junglers Get Blamed For Everything | League of Legends

Most junglers know how lane works but almost nobody knows how jungle works (not even junglers xD) mid main btw

Personally, I'm a new jungler been playing league for a couple of months and as a solo que player I really just look out for myself. Essentially I've seen that junglers can solo carry games but you need to go into it with the mentality that that's what youre doing. rush your clears so you can outpace and outscale anyone else on the opp team, pick and choose which laners show the most promise and focus your ganks there, decide which objectives are important/safest to get based on rotation speed from your laners etc.

And when you get invaded by opponent jgl and mid the whole game without your mid laner ever moving to help you and they say jgl diff at the end of the game while you were stuck at the base 24/7 cus whenever you get out you just get one shotted and die

Jungle and support are not contrast roles. I would argue that they are the two most similar roles in solo queue.

As an ADC main here's my main issue with junglers and how the majority of them act which ticks me and the rest of the team off:

– I am expected to leash every game but can't expect ganks when enemy are 4 men in botlane, shoving me under my turret, even diving to stop me from continuing my momentum as a 4-0 winning lane.
– I am supposed to keep warding and have sights on everything but when we kill 2 people and enemy support escapes with 10 hp, our jungler can't be bothered to just leave it and move to drake and/or get the turret. He has to run after the 10 hp support and 9 times out of 10 straight up die to 2nd tier turret and flame me and my support.
– I am supposed to carry the game (lmao adc carrying the game before patch 14.10 yeah, sure thing buddy), I'm having a good lane, having 1-0 or 2-0 lead, a good 300 gold difference with enemy botlaner, no need for ganks, enemy jungler is ganking top and our midlaner can use a gank or he can just start drake and we can join, instead he just decides it's a good time to go up to enemy adc and die without even pinging us to go all in. Then resurrect, come back to an adc with low hp, once again jump in and die, giving the enemy botlaner shutdown with the previous kill and making sure he has the lead now. In return, I can't dominate my lane and now since he ganked twice, enemy jungler also feels the need to gank, but this time they actually work as a team instead of the anime main character my jungler is.
– My jungler refusing to use his smite that deals 1200 damage, instead just waits until the drake/baron/whatever has 200 hp and the enemy just steal it by walking up to it.

This is the case for 6 games out of 10. Other 4 games I got good junglers who carry, thank god I'm lucky that those 6 games either I am too strong to carry or top laner/mid laner is. But majority of the games, we have to carry the jungler, minority of them, the jungler carries us to victory.

i started playing in 1st season. main mid. by season 2/3 it got so hard to get mid i started playing jungle. before invading was a regular thing. (i dont play anymore btw quit in season 5, dabbled in szn 8) but anyways i started playing jungle lee sin, khazix, & shaco. it carried me from gold 4 to plat. that's all thanks to

Being a jungle is like being a fcking bellboy, you need to do everything to please everyone.

The most stupid thing of being a jungler where they compare their dmg to champions to urs even tho u hit chickins and gromp all day and they hit champions all their lanes time

I hate playing jung over my main role of mid but I que it as secondary because i like winning more than I hate my teammates

As a jungle main I find it annoying that people believe you should win their lane for them. While it is part of your role to help them win their lane I'm mostly talking about the people who make terrible choices in lane/feed/take bad trades and expect you to be their baby sitter. Sometimes it's good to help your laner through a rough patch but the expectations can be crazy. You can't literally sit in their lane or else you ignore everything else on the map. Then you will be subsequently blamed for the lack of attention elsewhere. I'm gold so I won't pretend that I am good at all. But in recent memory I had a game where I took both grubs, all 4 dragons, got toplane ahead via 2 ganks, and managed to help bot get enemy tower first. Towards the end of the game due to bad choices, I followed up on a horrible play by our toplane trying to save his skin and I ended up dying. He then went on a tirade about " Our jungler sucks". I just couldn't believe the words coming out of his mouth. I was nearly the only factor that allowed our team to thrive through the early and mid parts of the game with objs and a win con to show for it. Bot and Top were ahead. Mid lane I ended up ignoring because the matchup was stale and they didn't trade much, mostly just farmed. Even though our midlaner was behind by about 10-15% cs They were doing ok just holding their own. The part that is the most annoying about all of this is that midlane was the only one who helped me on the objs while the others being in a position sometimes ( like having vision in enemy side and having their lanes pushed) just ignored the easy rotation which nearly cost us dragon a couple of times and it ended in a smite fight which I thankfully won. If they would have been there we could have used our advantage and maybe got some extra kills or something. Anyways, we lost that game after botlane got caught 2v5 in mid and we weren't able to defend 3v5. I really think the blaming of junglers can be too critical and self serving sometimes. I watch laners make mistakes constantly and I don't say anything to them. I stay quiet and keep trying hard to win. The last thing I'll add to this essay is that if people truly believe jungle is the most important role then why do they not play for their jungler more often? Wouldn't you want to help your "most important role"?
