Maybe it's just me

I want to preface this with I made it to gold (so I am happy, not complaining), just pointing something out I noticed getting there

I keep seeing "jungle diff" and "jungler is biggest factor to win".... but on my ride up to gold the biggest factor in my success was how much I could depend on my team. Ganking, securing drag/herald, invading or protecting my jungle.... all that stems from my laners actually paying attention to the map and helping each other out( not just me). To just toss everything on the jungler just seems silly to be honest.

I want to play more carry junglers, but it terrifies me to be a squishy Kha or Eve.

I mean I think it's because in a team with 5 people the odds that 4 people are completely trash the entire game are much lower then just one or two people being completely trash. So if only one person is trash on each team and your trash player is the jungler then you'll be at a bigger disadvantage then the other team in most cases. Then if everyone is trash then a good jungler would be able to look really good in comparison and can make the enemy jungler look super bad. So in both cases the jungler kind of stands out a lot. This is also boosted by the fact that you can be put behind or ahead because of something random and everyone else in the game other then you or the enemy jungler might not even notice it so that later in the game when these advantages or disadvantages become manifest people will probably just assume it's because your good or bad sense they didn't notice how you got ahead or behind.

Also people are typically bad at communication so if they see a good play that could possible happen like if you stop what your doing and do X it could be frustrating if you don't do what they think is good or if it doesn't go as planned people will assume it's because your bad. Which that has a lot to do with the LoL community attitude were we flame a lot for stupid things and junglers get exposed to the most people throughout the game so there are more chances to flame junglers and for people to assume your good or bad.

Also most laners probably have no clue how the jungle matchups are supposed to work either and thus might not understand some things you do for that matchup and why you can't just do X or Y
