Riot's treatment of junglers is like the parent who won't tell their kid to stop spitting on ppl

I am SO tired of having laners, who have an entire lane to farm, killing jungle camps just because they fucking can.

Seriously, Jungle camps need to SAP gold from you if you don't have a machete item. This shit is fucking ridiculous.

I'm not talking like, top lane taking golems when I'm on the bot side of the map and they're gonna respawn before I'd even be up there again.

I'm talking people taking 2nd buff without asking in ANY form. I'm talking ADCs who have 2 waves blocked up on their turret opting to come steal Gromp from me instead. I'm talking ONE camp being alive out of my route at any time past 20 minutes because Riot doesn't do JACK SHIT to stop laners from stealing camps.

I shouldn't have to ASK people to stop stealing my ONLY source of income, just like Laners expect Junglers to not just walk through mid lane at level 3 and clear the wave just because they happen to be there.

To RIOT, you need to make some hard, blatant penalties for laners constantly taking jungle camps, because the "it's VASTLY better if the jungler takes it" is NEVER going to get through the thick skulls or mean anything to the tons of entitled little shithead ADCs obsessed with their own lategame.

And to all the laners who are DELIBERATELY fucking over your teammate and your team's gold income, get your SELF-ABSORBED, IGNORANT LITTLE HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES, because I'm SICK of having to actually explain to these selfish little laners that they're outright screwing me over.

Downvote all you want, you're STILL wrong if you think this situation is okay. There's no perspective that makes any rational sense that justifies the way laners treat their junglers, or how Riot treats their junglers by not punishing laners for treating their junglers this way.

And before people complain about minion tax:

  1. Good junglers only take 2-3 minions top if they give the kill to you or burn the enemy's flash or misc summoner spell.
  2. If you want to go by that logic, keep in mind that the jungler doesn't ask you to gank his jungle, now does he? If you don't want to be taxed, don't ask for ganks.

Another valid point, but taxing is a whole other can of worms that doesn't piss me off as much.

I think part of hte reason laners stealing camps pisses me so much is that I don't tax lanes, in any situation. The only time I take CS from a lane is when there is no possible way the laner could've gotten the gold and it'd be wasted.

And the little shits STILL decide to clean out my entire route 5 minutes later.

In fact, I haven't, because I'm not toxic. Just sick of zero respect whatsoever from "teammates" who are so COMPLETELY obsessed with themselves that they'd knowingly dick over their jungler (even when it's wasting gold to do so), and Riot refusing to do jack shit about the mindset that "it's okay to treat your jungler like shit".

It's fucking pathetic.

i agree that them taking camps is frustrating, but if you are ganking and getting kills/asst. thats extra gold that other lanes dont get. you should be part of a majority of the kills through out the game. you also are the most free to roam. holding lanes while they back you can get a wave or 2. even just last hitting and freezing a lane while they come back, also you have the enemy jung to farm. there is plenty of gold to be had for a jungler, if you want it.
