PSA for Junglers

If you buy Devourer, don't play the "you're all dead to me until this thing's sated" game, having zero presence for your lanes until it's so deep into the match that they might all have lost thanks to the other jungler actually showing up for them. It's gotten to the point that I'm about to reject any Devourer-using jungler in Team Builder, because I don't even think I've had a single one of them get their Sated Devourer prior to the match being over.

It's probably due in large part to people's insistence upon playing whatever's "OP" without first understanding why it is and learning how to make proper use of it themselves. I remember one Master Yi I had on my team had only played him once prior to that, and it really showed.

On a related note, a lane that's down 1 kill isn't "lost" and therefore ungankable from that point on. I almost never blame the jungler, because I've jungled in the past and know how ridiculous people can be when it comes to the jungler, but I've had so many junglers refuse to show their face outside the jungle more than once or twice before things get so out of control there's no more stopping it that I couldn't help saying something to my junglers.

Like last match, our Nunu alternated between farming his own jungle, trying to counter-jungle and dying for it (he didn't let this dissuade him from doing it again), and making repeated failed ganks on the Riven up top. Meanwhile, for minutes Ahri was cowered under turret against Heimerdinger, who only had one kill on her at this point. She could do nothing but farm as best she could under turret. I know he's Heimerdinger, and he had a kill on her, but it only got out of control when he got some more kills, then proceeded to roam along with their Evelynn, who set up camp bot lane.

When he finally did show up for a "gank" mid, he just walked up the lane, did nothing, then went back to farming. When he came bot, he walked up from in front of them, threw a snowball at Sivir, who spell shielded it, then went back to farming. And later on in chat he said we were "greedy" because we wanted him to gank a "fed Ez." He finished 7/4/4, compared to the 16/4/13 Sivir. If mid lane was "lost," as Irelia was claiming, the ganks on Riven weren't working, and Evelynn was showing up every minute or so bot lane (and taking dragon), then that means your priority should be snowballing the only one who's a threat to snowball and save them from being shut out of the match by constant ganks from Heimer and Eve.

**TL;DR: **Whichever jungler you play, whichever jungle item you buy, please show up for a token gank now and then at least. And if a teammate dies once in lane, don't write that lane off as "lost," because all it takes is one decent gank to turn that lane right back in their favor. And all it takes sometimes is you neglecting them entirely for that lane to become completely lost even if they play safe, since the enemy will see that you're not even trying to help and it'll become open season on them.
