Botlane is worth more gold and more impactful in most games.

Because your jungler is smart and the enemy jungler is premade with their top.

That's because junglers are troglodytes

This is really tilting because I'm a top lane main. Enemy jungle just gets their asses fed off of me and win the game. Im warding bushes and all but all they do is tower dive me at lvl 6 mostly

Because you remember bad things more than good things. I bet in 100 games it's pretty even.

The other reason would be that you play hyper aggressive and always push under enemy tower.

Cuz bot lane being ahead is better. I main top lane too. As much as i like the feelsgood feelings of being ganked by my jungler, i'd much rather they focus their time getting bot ahead.

Leave me on my island, I'll still be useful even if I fall behind so long as bot lane doesn't get clapped.

Dont tillt try think about that situation like this - ok jung is camping me and i cant do anything about that but while he is here he cannot influence other lines and they have best chance to get ahead so best thing i can do is hold him here long as i can do safely. Also by camping you outside potential initial kill they dont get much from you, iam not saying go yolo but if you are already behind its better to sacrifice yourself and essentially cost them time and effort with minimal reward.

Because there are such things as 'ungankable' lanes (e.g. anything except a fed Jax or Yi REALLY doesn't want to gank a Morde), or one jungler straight up cannot fight another (e.g. if my team has a Rammus, the enemy Xin will automatically lose any countergank into the same lane).

Personally whenever I'm jungle, if I'm playing something tanky and generally slow, I will warn anyone facing something like Talon or Zed that there is very little I can do to help them, and it makes more sense for me to get the other lanes ahead.

A jungler should go where they will have the greatest positive effect, and sometimes that means sitting the enemy in the lane on the far side of the map to you.

Also, if you're shoving the enemy laner in at his tower the whole time, you're gonna get ganked, repeatedly....
