Struggling in the jungle

I know that I want to sit here saying that I am better than bronze V and blame every game on my teammates but that isn't the case when I keep losing this many games. I was placed in B1 but have lost all the way down to B5. I win the vast majority of the normal games I play and I carry hard most of the time as a Jax jungle. I just don't understand why I can't win the ranked games.

I trust my early game. I feel like I get some early game leads often but I'm a little lost on the mid to late game as a jungle main. I think it is mainly decision making mistakes. My poor decision making come from lack of understanding of the mid to late game. Like I have no idea besides towers and drags how to lead my team after 10-15 min in.

In norms I usually invade their first buff that they aren't getting a leash on but in ranked games I'm too afraid to do that..

I really wish someone was able to watch my last ranked game somehow as Jax 4/6/10. I gave each of my lanes good early ganks but we still failed to close out the game.

Thanks for any feed back

For one, playing more of a niche pick doesn't help you much. Although I understand pretty much anything works in bronze, try playing more meta picks as they are strong for a reason.

your match history shows you dont have the potential to be PLAYING JAX lol. 1. You pussy out in doing invades, on JAX.... In bronze 4. Why? 2. you play strong champions yet you output VERY little damage even in your "good" games. So you're basically a liability.

Seems like you should be playing tanks or something... It's really not your team that's doing bad when you're averaging 8k damage per game while building damage items.

Ward more as well, most people in bronze die by going alone where there is no vision. Wards save lives and as a jungler you roam more than anyone if you ward the enemies jungle or key areas and ping often that avoids a lot of deaths, dont give up free objectives and dont prioritize drake over an easy inhibitor. I even seen people in bronze go baron over ending the game after an ace... only gank the lanes where you can see potential if your adc died 4 times and is behind 40+cs there is little to no reason to go bot, unless its guaranteed. Instead help top or mid, most mages can destroy adcs easy so if the enemy adc is getting fed for example, get your mid laner fed or top laner fed. Be water my friend

Your CS is extremely low especially looking at the monsters killed in your jungle and the enemy jungle. I'm guessing you're spending way too much time fighting in lane or sitting in a bush waiting to gank. Likely dont have good jungle pathing or a plan when you go out from base when you need to plan which side you'll be on, clear the camps then do that useful thing for the team even if its just to find the enemy jungler or throw deep wards down

For Jax get W second so you have faster clears. Q second is such a waste for a long CD low damage gap closer u dont need ASAP during first clear.
