JG has dictated every game I have played.
Either they:
- do decently well and the game is close
- counterjungle successfully, stomp the other jg and win, or
- they get counterjungled and get stomped in a 1v1 and lose the game for their team.
Last game my Elise got invaded at level 3 AFTER Udyr ganked my lane while she was still working on her blue buff. He chased her off of blue AND killed her, and I quickly ran over with my goofy boots first
build and managed to chase him down and kill him using my summs. Turns out doing that didn't matter.
Elise kept feeding Udyr. Udyr just ran behind everyone else in lane and got kills. Udyr took every dragon. His team won the game. I was the only one with a positive score stuck at toplane watching.
Snowballing is fairly deserved and can be played around elsewhere but snowballing jungle can just be untouchable, particularly at Plat and before. There's just no stopping them and they often are the MVPs of games. Something about that needs to change, or maybe people just need to stop picking squishy junglers that can't win duels.
