Jungle role has become a complete fucking abomination, what is the balance/design team even doing?

I can't even queue for this shit as secondary anymore, because I get it in 4/5 matches, as nobody wants to play it. The role is completely fucking useless compared to earlier in the season. It has virtually no sway unless all of your lanes are in a stalemate, which I honestly have not had happen even once in the past 2-3 months.

If my team mates in a lane are losing, I can't help them. I'm going to die within 2-3 seconds of walking into the lane, as the fed champions turn on me.

If my team mates in a lane are winning, I don't have to do anything. The enemy jungle won't even attempt to gank them for the above reason, and if it does, it's usually just going to die and give my team mates a triple kill in the process, without my help.

This is an example of almost every fucking game I jungle in. The Sejuani basically hasn't done anything to sway the game; she has 23% kill participation, and I anticipated and stopped five of her ganks, yet my team mates are still feeding, and I can't help them without dying myself.

I went from Gold III to Diamond V at the start of the season, mostly playing Udyr, ending with 62% win rate. In the past month, I have something like 12% win rate in the jungle. I can no longer do anything to carry the game, because the solo lanes decide it by my first recall, and the lanes are won or lost regardless of what either I or the enemy jungler do after that.

What the fuck is even going on with this?

You don't know clear order.

Even in losing games I'm absolutely dominating and getting level 6 right after mid does.

That's because you're Silver, your experience is irrelevant when everyone in your game is a monkey throwing left and right.
