I don't understand some junglers' mentalities.

I mean sure you want a lane to do well and be ahead, but even if you keep getting a kill out of it, you're only pressuring one lane and letting your other lanes suffer. This was the case for me against Garen as Rumble. Sure I did well early, but of course, any tank can rush MR and make you useless so he was gonna be fine. Lee Sin on the other hand nonstop ganked top but he really wasn't gaining anything out of it other than slowly extending his lead (And they both flashing their Rank 5 Masteries every kill). Meanwhile our bot lane gets a double kill and secures turret. It just seems pretty pointless to visit an already winning lane nonstop especially since your worth on gold goes down.

From the sounds of it, your bottom lane was winning by itself and you were doing well against Garen.

Lee Sin can either go top or bottom to try and turn one of them around, he chose top. Having given top an advantage, he could either keep pressing top or go bottom and risk making everything worse against a (by now) fed bot lane.

To be honest I wasn't going to win that lane after a while. Rumble's damage got easily ignored by a spirit visage and he did more damage buying three long swords.

Top lane is generally easier to gank than bot due to less wards and that a 2v1 gives better odds than 3v2. I don't know which side you were on, but for Red-side junglers Top lane is somewhat easier to gank due to bush placement, vice versa for Blue.

It's especially stupid on a jungler like Lee who needs to mobilize his team and end the game before he starts being outscaled hard by the enemy jungler.
