Junglers basically say if you don't want to die to ganks, don't bother playing the game.

Because I'm overextended no matter what I do. I'm supposed to accept being camped to hell and back and feasibly being able to do nothing about it because my access to vision is limited. I'm supposed to somehow track where the enemy jungler is onward from level 1 and ignore that I have a lane to focus on. I can't pressure lane, I can't even farm remotely outside of tower range and I have to accept this because this is somehow fair that this is what decideds lanes now.

To make matters worse, new rift Harold is basically a tower upon slaying it, which already limits what I can realistically pick top lane. Am I supposed to just play overly mobile tanky huge damage dealing early game power houses at this point? It's not unreasonable to be fed up with the current state of the jungle. It's not unreasonable to want a better vision system and catch-up exp to be removed so a jungler can't fail 4 ganks in a row, clear two camps and be right back in par with the enemy jungler. And this even limits what's good in the jungle for crying out loud because it only suits early game gankers - don't people always cry about wanting more jungle diversity? You ain't gonna get more diversity if the name of the game is which jungler wins the game in the first ten minutes. Say hello to Kha, Lee, Zac and the likes for forever.

All people want is a more reasonable influence of junglers and counterplay to ganks. And that shouldn't be "you didn't pick champion x so you deserve to get ganked all the time and die." The game needs to be remotely fair to most champions in this regard and it really isn't. We don't want power farm jungle metas either, we just want this non stop tank bullshit to die.

You sound like a raging kid who refuses to learn how to not push to the enemy tower.

I play leblanc top lane - definitely not a meta pick. Most champs are viable in any lane, even if it's not 'meta'.

It's not the jungler's job to babysit lanes or save a lost lane. A good jungler is going to snowball a winning lane while securing objectives, buffs, and helping push when necessary.

If you're losing a lane, you should play as though you're going to get camped and your jungler is AFK. Build defensively, farm as much as you can, don't go for trades, don't go for CS if the enemy can poke you for doing so, there is a lot you can do when you fall behind. The biggest thing you need to do is not repeatedly die since you will fall behind in levels. If you literally can't do anything, at least soak up xp so you don't fall behind in levels. The xp radius is huge, its almost impossible to zone someone out of it.

When the fed top laner roams, push hard, cs, ward enemy objectives and try to farm back into the game.

Look for solutions instead of complaining.

I main jungle but lately I've been playing top. I understand what its like to play the jungle and I hate it when someone feels the need to blame me for them getting ganked for the 5th time. Like I said ive been playing top a lot and sometimes I don't get a single gank from my jungle the entire game. Do I sit therw and whine to them and complain my jg never tanks? No, I suck it up and play accordingly. If you're getting camped its your own fault for playing reckless enough to allow for the enemy junglwr to camp you. No one to blame but yourself

It's actually really easy to track most junglers, all you need to know is what side they started on and camp respawn timers.

  1. Ward at 2:45. You get a free trinket. Use it.
  2. Freeze the lane. This may be difficult on certain champs (Galio, for instance), but it can be done on anyone.
  3. This post is awfully long for something with nothing constructive. This is basically 3 paragraphs of whining and sobbing
