No Jungler EVER Helps My Lane, WHY?
I'm sick of it. "You were doing fine", they say... "You were winning", they say. I DON'T CARE, GANK MY LANE. I hate Jungling, and I hate Junglers even more. Junglers never look my way until it's too late, and I can't stand it. When they've AFK farmed or they've ganked the other lanes and lost them.. then they finally decide maybe they should come to my lane? THERE'S 5 ENEMIES, QUICK RUN OVER TO HIS LANE.. HE'S DEAD, THE LAST OUTER IS GOING TO DIE, RUN RUN RUN GO...
You really want to know what turns me into an asshole? THIS. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT TILTS ME AND TURNS ME INTO AN ASSHOLE.
I understand it's not mandatory for a Jungler to babysit any lane. I don't expect a Jungler to babysit my lane. Do you know what I expect? I expect the Jungler to acquire vision, to track the enemy Jungle. To be ready when the enemy Jungler and Support randomly appears in my lane to gank me. I EXPECT MY JUNGLE TO BE USEFUL AND TO DO HIS JOB. If my Jungler feels he can get the even trade in another lane at my expense, that's completely fine. I'll look at that and think "it's even". I'm not an irrational person. If they think for one second that I'm going to keep my sanity while getting completely fucked over again and again, and it's something that could have been prevented, they have another thing coming.
When the Jungler dies 10+ times in other lanes, that's 10 deaths the Jungler created that can't be made up for anywhere else. That's 10 deaths, that no matter how much farming a solo laner does, he or she can't acquire the gold from in an even lane. To me, personally, I believe if a Jungler dies more than maybe 6-7 times it's unacceptable. Junglers are around enemies less than any other player in the game, therefore it shouldn't even be possible that they are dying more than their laners in an average length game.
I've been Jungling a lot lately, because I felt like the issue is always the Jungler. I'm not someone who likes to be like that, but the past several months I've been losing my mind in this game playing Top lane. Junglers don't ever come Top, it's an isolated island.. but as soon as I begin winning lane, all the enemies are in my lane and no one from my team is there to help me. My laners are facing no one, but they aren't getting towers or objectives. When I look around about mid game, there's 3-5 enemies constantly in my lane and the rest of my team is farming like there's nothing going on. It's horrid, and I can't even begin to understand why it's happening. I'm not particularly strong, and I'm definitely not fed enough to fight many enemies alone probably 90% of the time.
When I play Jungle, it's a completely different story. After switching from Top to Jungle, I had a 68% win rate in roughly 60 games. Junglers have FAR too much impact on games right now. It's not even fair. I can win game after game after game as a Jungler, yet the instant I switch to Top lane, I struggle to win even half of my games. I'm a FAR superior Top laner to Jungle... I never Jungle and I do not like Jungling. I lose my lane maybe once out of 10 games as a Top laner. For some reason however, I do not win as a Top laner. The Junglers in my games are useless and it impacts the game so much that it becomes nearly impossible to turn games around.
I'll likely go back to Jungling, as I really hate losing for no reason. I would like to understand more WHY this is happening however. Why is it that Junglers don't gank top? Is Jungle not a popular role, are these players auto filled? Also, as a side note, I have politely asked Junglers to gank for me. The problem is, almost everytime they'll say something like "OK" and then they'll never come. I'm pretty damn good at wave management, I buy pink wards and use the plants to clear out the enemies wards. Nothing helps. Is the other side of the map literally that important? I really would love to keep playing mostly Top, but I can't find any reason at all to do so.
or
, which puts us behind everyone as far as damage goes. Our farm is spread out across the map, which means we have to be moving everywhere to keep up with everyone els in gold. We also have to worry about 2 other lanes, that may not be doing so well.
, I would not ever gank a 26 game 1.74 KDA
