watching ur jungler do scuttle for 10 seconds as a no sums kled with no vision sitting on my tower with 300 hp while i ping for him to come .

nothing like him then rotating mid and trying to gank once again for a 1-3 syndra thats getting dixcked on every second by a full hp diana that keeps 2v1ing them

nothing like being powerless against someone rushing tabis and has boneplating and despite him having no skill when it comes to csing/trading/using his brain, he has a jungler and the power of igniting me and running facefirst.

only thing better is still having a 50 cs lead and equal gold but losing because the lane my jungler ganks throws at the end of the game and walks into them and dies and then we lose.

fucking beautiful game of ranked i really felt like my skill level mattered there and that it wasnt a onesided game from the start

Nothing like having 4 people blame you for everything and demand you camp their lane all game long?

That's the way it goes now, hang in there or find somewhere other than toplane to suffer.

Jungling has never been more stressful, high pressure, or unsatisfying.

If you arent one of the oddly specific style of junglers which is strong early pressure with constant ganks fall off late, you can barely function. At all. There is no diversity.

Consequently, fewer and fewer deign to play jungle.

You probably got some poor schmuck who got autofilled into the role and did not comprehend the need for pressure.

A lot more games feel unwinnable. They nerfed the vision options solo laners need to avoid junglers, then pretend that somehow a beleaguered laner can be expected to survive a constant, blind 2v1 should their jungler be unwilling or unable to assist.

Dammit riot, can we just have the pros play under their own patch and leave the base game playable for the rest of us? No? That would be sensible. Riot doesnt do sensible.

Its kinda insane how much impact jungle has this season. You can tell right off the bat which jungle afk'd farm and which one put pressure on lanes. Its funny because really all you need to do is show your face from time to time so they know you exist.

There are a lot of things that can prevent a jungler from successfully ganking your lane. Was it even a good ganking jungler? Who was the opponent jungler? How was the rest of the team doing? Do you properly follow up on a gank when the jungler actually shows up?
