Enemy jg trolls with Tryndamere pick. Go 7/1 eve by minute 10 while he's 4/2. Bot lane decides it's a good idea to facetank a tryndamere with ult, he starts racking up kills.

My team's 6/6/5 TF: "Eve, you're literally dogshit"

My KDA's on par with their winning bot lane with 1 kill up. I have 8 deaths less than my combined bot lane and 5 less than my midlane.

Tryndamere jg proceeds with "lol jg diff, and you thought picking teemo top was going to work".

I wonder why jungle is autofilled so much now.

Yeah, it's honestly a largely thankless role. I've played jungle since late season 6, and now I've decided to ditch the role and learn to play support. Much more rewarding, and the team doesn't hop on your dick every time something goes slightly wrong.

As Jungler you need to mute your team if game is starting to get difficult because they will blame and flame you for EVERYTHING 100% And that is super tilting. It was always like that but this meta it's even worse. No matter what elo. Now matter how hard your laners suck. YOU are the reason they lose. Not them, YOU! Ask ANY jungler and they will agree to this. No other role is more blamed than jungle.

It has become too stressful to be considered rewarding to play. Half the time I don't even feel like i'm playing a game but instead i feel like I just volunteered as tribute in the hunger games. Whether you win or lose most of the time it feels like your laners are actively working to throw away all of the advantages you provided to the team.

I ended up leaving jungle in ranked last season after an idiotic Akali threw away the two kills I got her early and repeatedly dove under enemy tower to chase after a Ahri . Granted she got the kills most of the time but after the 2nd dive the Kayn caught on and she ended up getting camped giving them 8 kills in total before the 15 minute mark. Then the blue Kayn traveling through the walls at the speed of light went to every other lane to one shot our team.

As someone who doesn't play jungle, I feel so bad for junglers this season. You are either a jungle main and you know what's coming or you are autofilled jungler and....you have no idea what's coming and oh dear god.

I resonate with this so much. I have been a jungle main for idk how many seasons and it is a very demanding and thankless role. When I got autofilled jungle the other day I thought it was just because I played jungle more than anyone else in the lobby and that is why it autofilled me to that role. Guess not.

The thing is its not just your team that is putting you down because even if by some chance you win despite your team being toxic AF and you go 18/2/12 as a jungler with 180 CS in a 30 min game. You get to that victory screen thinking man I did good I can't wait for that S+ and you get hit with an A just an A. Like riot please ya got to give us junglers something.

I play support after not playing for like 6 months and boom S first game for doing hardly anything. Listen I am not hating on support mains, there are way better support players that could of done way better than I did that game and got an S+ super easy. I am just saying the grading system is busted.

Lol I had a game where I was playing a jungler on my first clear I went blue side to red side and the enemy jungler ganked my mid and got a kill. That was at the 3ish min mark. And my midlaner just openly flaming me in chat that I wasn't ganking and I'm just like wtf are you talking about

F1uttershy20751/15/2020, 3:20:12 AM2 votes

Yup i stopped playing Jungle cause of that. When you're teams winning you're a god send..

But moment a lane Gets crushed cause of their own mistakes, You're the one to blame because you didn't help. Then when that said lane Carries their team cause your lane fed them (aka a teemo top lane that feeds a morde 8 kills by 10 minutes) now every one is raging at you cause you're the one at fault for not ganking top lane.

its like wait...

I really enjoy playing jg minus the flamers, if they didn't exist I would have a lot of fun. Not claiming to be a great jungler or player in general, I'm just okay like the people I play with. I make huge efforts to not be a toxic player, have never received a chat ban or que ban for more than 5 minutes. But as I main jungle, I receive a disproportionate amount of flame/toxicity and it does drain on me slowly.

I feel like kills are too easy to get, and until they change that by lowering damage, the game won't change.

I have yet to be autofilled as jungle in both Preseason and regular season.

Heck, I queue Jungle/Support and get Support 95% of the time.

The real truth is more ugly: People are actually wanting to play Jungle. But they haven't adapted in 2-3 years in pathing/economizing jungle with the changes.

Enemy picks Twitch Jungle pog, just starve him out, his farming is garbage and he relies on cheap lvl 2 ganks to snowball prevent his level 2 and 3 ganks top and bot, mid's on comms with me i go to take scuttle since now i can 1v1 him alistar jumps out of bush enemy mid rolls me down twitch nuking my health from 600 units away, why the fuck is Conqueror Twitch this strong botlane LOSES A 2V1 against ezreal, pog toplane's losing the fuck out of lane as vlad despite having absolutely 0 enemy jungle pressure enemy alistar and zillean continue to buttfuck me in my own jungle, while bot continues to fail to 2v1 ezreal top starts spamming crying for ganks as i continue to be zoned off of 1 and 1/2 of my jungle camps.

I've found the opposite myself. I see TONS of 9/2/0 assassin jungles that never help the team, never go for objectives, never get any vision, never sweep, and constantly insult their teams. Usually they just wander around and pick off supports warding, or low health people backing. They rant at supports who miss slow moving skill shots (morg Q, senna W) when they are playing point and click stealth champs. They contribute basically nothing. Then they flame when they lose and ask for reports.

I bet I see 2-3 of those types for every one that has to deal with a 3 lane losing combo.

Also you could have preventing Tryn for destroying your bot lane simply by counter jungling the guy and forcing him to ulti away. Use your lead to do more than get yourself kills to score pad.
