Played a ranked match recently where I got bashed for informing my team mates that duo jungle is not a smart idea. Am I off or on meta? I feel like I have never seen anyone duo jungle in a ranked and I was harassed and told to look up "pro videos of people duo jungling". Am I missing somthing here? Playing for 5 years and never heard of duo jungle being a big thing.

It happens in the lcs time to time and it is usually during the first clear only and a strong two man gank. Then the person goes back to lane. However, very ill advised for solo que

Unless they have the coordination of an LCS team, it's a bad idea usually.

And yes, that's hyperbole, but my point is evident

It can work and it can work pretty well. Thats 2 man ganks, u just need bot lane something like Ezreal that can farm safely from distance. Or send mage like Morgana bot and ADC mid.

It depends on what you mean by duo jungle. If you mean someone who will eventually wind up toplane (has Teleport, is a top champ and not a typical jungler; Gnar and Rek'Sai, for example), if the rest of your team is VERY coordinated, it can definitely work. If you just mean straight up two junglers (Rek'Sai and Udyr, for example, both of whom have smite), it gets riskier. It can still work, but it requires more coordination. You likely won't have a support, so you'll need an ADC who can deal with that (Ezreal comes to mind). They'll be invading almost constantly, so you'll need to manage your waves to support them if they need it. It's something that could be done in a premade, but I wouldn't try it in solo queue.
