Why does the jg always get blamed?

Whenever I play a game the losing team dumps all the blame on the jungler? Why? What is wrong with people? Don't blame the feeding ADC, Support, Mid, or Top, but the only good player the jungler pls blame him.

bot lane gets blamed a lot for sure but i won't say that we get blamed more than JG.

The biggest reason why jg gets blamed a lot (just fyi i never blame jg) by people are for a few reasons

they don't understand the role
they are frustrated
they don't look at their own play and what they did wrong (this is about map awareness overall)
because the jg is free to go anywhere on the map and not restricted to 1 lane
jg has more chance to carry the game then any other role (it's still the 1st or 2nd most consistent role to climb with)
Its not your responsibility to win a lane for someone

I'd say just mute the ppl as soon as they say anything about you BUT i would also say that sometimes you can learn from what they are saying.

For example if someone is actually being constructive like when you get a leash on the blue or red but then hit smite; when i see the jg do that i instantly kinda facepalm but i usually say "Hey man just fyi you don't need to smite when you get a leash" now i have had jg's literally cuss me out cause i said that; ppl can be really thin skinned overall but that advice wasn't me trying to be mean or toxic that was something the jg maybe didn't know or understand.

So i'd say if someone is being constructive and trying to help then don't take it as a bad thing like if someone asks you "Hey jg can you come top when i push to help cover me?" i'd say that's a reasonable thing to say and not toxic at all and should be considered but if someone said "OMG Jg you are never top why ?!" you can take that as maybe you don't go top often enough or something but also i'd be ready to mute that person cause they are prolly 1 death away from really getting toxic.

Anyways remember it's not your job to win someone's lane for them but you can get lanes advantages to help them win, what they do with it is up to them

I can't speak for others, but in my experience the jungler is the one that fucks up the most. While it's certainly true that jungler is the most difficult role (and the only one in general that requires any amount of skill), playing poorly is not excusable.

the jungler runs the early game, if they fail to run the early game then their team is at the mercy of enemy jungler who is probably running the early game.

Support and Jungle get blamed the most (unsure which is more), then ADC, then top, then Mid.

I tend to just ignore them.

imo Support has to make enormous macro mistakes to deserve the blame, when its usually ADC being bad at their role. Im talking Yuumi not managing mana or curving her Qs, not detaching, not auto attacking Sorakas autoing minions 24/7 Drafting Ashe

etc. Borderline inting/trolling levels of bad plays

nah man, you can get autofill supps that will throw the lane, adc will still be blamed.

Or getting out of position and get punished is one. Then...repeating it and wonder ya die. That goes for ADC and Supports. (I main Support and I seen some dive happy ADCs who just suddenly jump in and get mad at me XD no signals, no warnings, just boom they run in O_o then get mad when I don't go in) But I seen bad supports do that same thing so eh. All mindset I guess.
