The worst feeling is when you are clearing your first buff - "First blood" (your mid or top). You go for a gank top or mid - "Enemy double kill" - your botlane. You get a kill for your laner in top\mid - again "An ally has been slain" - your another laner. Then repeat 1-2 times more - you get a couple of kills\assists, 2 other lanes die. "Report jungle, no help, gg, I'm afk". Because I didn't even clear anything but my double buff after the first leashed camp and literally ganked all the time after.

if people get outclassed in a single lane, they should consider switching a role or get better.

it's those people who call "mid mid mid or top top top" and then feeds heavily while a more capable member of the team ends up playing an assisting role (jungle, support). this is why i'm a firm believer in pick order when multiple people want the same role.

how about when you're going even in lane, and you get massively camped but live, and you're shoved under turret. SO you back when you've taken too much harass and then you're behind so you're constantly under turret until you get dove and die and your jungler never comes once. How about then can I blame them then?

Oh? I didn't know there was a job description. Since when has Riot officially supported or endorsed specific jobs per lane? That's right, never. Pro players come up with metas because it's the best way for them to accomplish their goal, against players of their own skill and teamwork level.

However, it is damn annoying when a laner is losing and blames the JG.

The only time I ever blame the jungler is when he dives the enemy tower and dies and that leads to my laner snowballing and he blames it on me.

I play top. I've always played assuming I will get 0 help from my jungler. If they come and assist me, fantastic. Sometimes I get camped, I try to play as safe as posbbile. yes I will fall behind if I'm camped even if I play safe as playing safe means you have to give us some cs. In this case I always just hope that becasue of the camp my team is getting an advantage elsewhere be it in other lanes, dragons or a heavily farmed Jungler.

If there is no advantage elsewhere, I don't blame the skill of any other team mate, sometimes enemy team is just better, GG, what can I do better next game!

It's hard to win your lane or go even when the enemy jungler is camping your lane and your jungler doesn't do anything about it.

In my league It is always Devourer Jungles .

If the jungler lets the enemy laner push without wards like a complete jackass the entire laning phase, it is his fault his laner is down 50 CS at 20 minutes. Some people play in such a way that the only way to really deal with them is by ganking them. If you let a Mordekaiser Vladimir Jayce push forvever, your laner is going to be behind and will likely die at least once.

Im not the type to blame or unneccesarily yell, but if I see the jungler camping me (still not blaming our jungler) and the other lanes are not getting ganks they need and we dont have any drags I'm going to be a bit worried

Granted, if your Master Yi jungler friend only has 3 stacks on his Devourer by 30 minutes, there might be an issue there. Not saying it's always the jungler's fault, especially given that I play jungle, but there are times when I'm in a solo lane, keeping the enemy jungler busy, dealing with my enemy laner, farming, and still doing well... only for my jungler to donate red buff or blue buff (or both) to the enemy ADC or my lane opponent off a really badly planned gank.

There are junglers out there who suck at their role, just like there are laners out there who suck at their role. For anyone who doesn't ward, has died 3+ times to the enemy laner (especially in solo situations) and asks me to gank, I might just tell you that I don't feel like donating more gold to your lane opponent and for you to ward and play passively. But if I see a jungler who has more deaths than any of the laners (due to enemy laners, not enemy jungler presence), has less farm than the enemy jungle, and is building straight damage, we may have words.

" -Assist lanes" Right, you do that, you won't get blamed.

" -Apply pressure to lanes" Doesn't mean that every time you fail ganks you get to tax the living shit out of me nor push the wave. Oh good, you ganked, didn't even force a summoner spell, great, as if Nasus didn't already have a hard enough time farming under turret, serve him my wave (/sarcasm).

" -Ward enemy jungle/keep track of enemy jungle" 90% of the time your whole team contributes to this.

" -Get objectives" If a laner is getting their living shit camped out of them, and you're not helping others snowball, getting a dragon, taking down turrets etc etc, then you seriously need re-evaluate your priorities.

PS. going devourer doesn't mean leaving your team 4vs5 for the rest of the game hoping your meager stacks and incapable self are enough to carry 1vs5(with 4 useless teammates on your back).
