From a Jungle main....

You cannot always use the excuse that it's not your job to win the lane. So many people make me cringe at the advantages that could be gained on the map and yet they never ever take it.

For example:

I'm playing Caitlyn with a Nunu support, never had that but you know i can try new things. We are against a Vayne Zyra bot. I know I can bully her out of lane. However their jungler, Warwick , does a level 2 gank blowing his flash to fear me forcing me to flash and heal to keep nunu alive. Our Shaco is running summoner 11 summoner 14 . They stayed pressed on our turret forever in a day. I didn't feed them kills but it was rough trying to cs. But we stayed relevant. This Shaco however opted out of ganking any lane till almost the 9 minute mark. Even the very lane that is pressed on our turret because they have summoner advantage. There comes a point where it is out of our hands and becomes your problem. Shaco is an early ganking jungler. Not an afk farmer for 10-20 minutes.

What does this mean for the rest of us junglers. Yes summoner's lose lanes by feeding kills. But for lanes that stay passive and farm without feeding. That doesn't mean they lost lane yet. You show your ass up. And you help. OTherwise, late game when you are blaming me despite not offering an ounce of help, I'll just report you and point out the absolutely terrible flaws in your gameplay and macro play and misunderstanding of early versus late game junglers and farming versus ganking junglers.

And it is still not your job to win their lane. Your job to gank is as much as it is the job of every other lane. You have to win against your enemy in the junglers case it is the enemy jungler. When you can do it with having a huge cs lead it is fine and you won your "lane". Ganking is just optional. When your lanes lose it is not your job to show up and help them, it will sure be better when you want to win but IT IS NOT YOUR JOB. Mid could roam or top tp.

If lanes are not struggling and I do not find an easy gank, I focus on objectives.

Get enough equips then go to top and push the minions back, make enemy top recall, then push that tower so they can have some freedom.

Put the other team in disarray.
