My lane is jungle

I'm not a jungle main, but I notice this issue happens fairly often. People complain that the jungler isn't ganking enough and blame them because they lost their lane.

It is not the junglers job to win your lane. He has his own lane to worry about and his lane is the jungle. You can leave your lane to gank just as easily as the jungler.

The jungler provides vision and buff control while trying to clear his jungle and stay viable throughout the match. Sure he can gank, but so can you. Stop acting like its his fault that you fed that Darius. That's on you. Learn to control your lane.

Please ward your lane. If you want the jungler to gank more then don't shove your wave, drop a pink ward so he can get into lane without being caught, and react when he pings. Help me help you.

Yes and no. It is not the jungler's job to win lane for you, but it is his job to help lanes falling behind to to apply pressure. Map presence is #1 priority.

As a jungler, my lane is the map. You think I'm ganking to give mid a kill and help him get a gold advantage? Hell no, I don't know that guy. I'm ganking to get some gold for myself so that I can play my 1v5 (2v5 if I'm lucky) and win the game.

You're right, it's not your job to win their lanes. However, it is your job to win the game. That means potentially making up for the idiots that lose lane. If you lost, odds are you could have done something more, if even just a little. If they aren't warding and you feel that they need wards, you have to make up for their stupidity. It sucks, but that's jungle. You're all around the map, so you get to be team mom.

Providing vision and controlling buffs doesn't mean anything if you're not applying pressure. If the other jungler is ganking all over the map and you're afk farming....yeah it is your fault everyone lose their lanes. It was essentially a 4v5.

And ganking shoved lanes is even EASIER if you know what you're doing. You just walk up from your own turret, sit in the bush, and boom free kill when they push back out.
