Sincere message to Junglers: Botlane defines games.
I'm a support main. For five games in a row, our jungler has not come botlane prior to 8 minutes. 8 minutes in, the enemy jungler has already ganked us twice. Now, before you junglers try to make excuses:
- We are not pushing up. The lane is frozen in the middle.
- I have placed a control ward along the river. There is no enemy ward.
- I have pinged the necessary enemy summoner spells.
In every, single, game, the enemy ADC has gotten either one or two kills and then, ten minutes later, is 12/1 and we've lost all mid towers and inhib. Our ADC is irrelevant as he was not able to survive in lane to CS - even under tower. I have looked at the friendly jungler's match history - in literally every instance of a defeat they have (and yes, I'm talking about more than one separate jungle player) - the enemy ADC is fed.
Bot lane defines games. No other lane affects the game like bot does. If bot stomps, they can then rotate mid and take towers, which then relieves pressure so that they can easily take dragons. Watch any pro-level LCS play. They focus on botlane. In team fights they stop at nothing to keep the enemy off the ADC. Because they recognize the sheer power an ADC has to change a game's flow.
It is your responsibility to watch bot lane. There is no excuse for not coming botlane. You can camp top lane to get our Riven fed all you want. It means nothing when she gets deleted by the enemy Jinx.
which doesnt help your ADC or jungler to do their jobs. I see that and know we have a stupid support and bot likely not going to carry well because they arent being supported properly in laning
