Since when did all junglers become crybabies?

In the last couple days in which I have played, a jungler has asked for a leash. I do so, and then walk away.

They then LOSE THEIR ABSOLUTE FUCKING MINDS when I don't sit and hold their god damn hands to help them kill the jungle mobs for them, lose CS, AND steal their xp. How are you so bad at jungling? Do you not own ANY armor runes to help you clear jungle? One of these had the audicity to blame me the ENTIRE GAME for being behind, because I did not help her hard leash the blue golem. Last game I had another jungler, Yi, who insta-locked onto rage mode for asking him what kind of leash he wanted. Yes you bloody moron there IS such a thing as a soft leash and a hard leash.

About to go into another game, great success! I've found a jungler who might be halfway decent!

In short...learn your role before you try it.

You've been playing with some real fuckwads lately. I'm sorry. As someone who mains jungle, these people are cancer. In Solo Queue, you can and must be able to hold your own with or without a leash, sometimes you will get a shitty leash, which is totally fine. When I hear junglers blame their struggles on the laners, it makes me cringe. Same when laners blame junglers for their struggles in lane.

Bitchy laners is totally normally. Bitchy junglers though? Ew.

Honestly... I don't know.

I jungle a lot (probably my favourite role). Always used Hecarim (harder lately since he's so popular top). I knew exactly what I needed, 3 auto attacks (and if you're so kind to use whatever skill you took at level 1, great!) on Gromp and that's all I need.

So I always say as much. My first actions of the game are pretty much always: Ping request assistance at Gromp Type: [opposite lane] can you please ward red around 1:45? Go to Blue side jungle to guard against Blue invade Type to leasher: Should only need about 3 hits on Gromp please.

Most times it's cool. The odd time some idiot thinks it's appropriate to say I'm being super specific or whatever. Sometimes after I get a particularly awkward comment I wonder whether I should have said anything at all, but nothing ever seems to go too bad so I always ask regardless.

I agree though, if you want a hard leash you better ask for it. I actually hate it when someone sticks around to help me do blue next as there's the risk I'll lose XP on Gromp (and I need that level 2) and I don't even always go Blue second (I actually almost never go Blue second, but my jungle strategy is a different topic). Then again, I specify that I only need 3 autos so they should know better than to stick around, not sure if most people actually try to give a harder leash if you don't say anything. I always give 3-4 autos as a leash unless asked otherwise.

jungler is the most toxic + whiny role rofl

people keep crying to junglers are getting harassed every game, but every game i see its the jungelr blaming the team while their team is losing a 4v5 and the jungler is still somehow behind in farm to the other one LOL

Thanks for the feedback guys, I know I wasn't alone on this. Also if there is anyone on here who has trouble jungling w/out a leash, you're probably not set up right for runes & masteries. I know this season is ultra retarded hard mode for jungling, but still if you have armor yellows, and a full masteries page set for jungling (with more armor & the extra runic buff time) you should do fine.

I actually hate people who don't know when to stop leashing more than people who hardly leash at all, since at worst with a short leash I'll have to back before ganking, where with a leash where they steal exp and sometimes even gold for being there too long, I get royally screwed for the rest of my clear because I'm a level behind and to down in gold to get my jungle item.

Sounds like you're the cry baby to me.
