Just accept the loss and the autofill protection it grants you and move on, you will never be decent at jungle role without dedicating yourself to it and even then people will still blame you even if you do everything right making you think your still doing it wrong so just accept the loss and move on.

Hmm hello there, im jugnle main since s5 and i got to platinum MMR for most of seasons i played ranked on so i could give you some tips. I think you should start with champion you enjoy the most or just pick a bit low skill champion like master Yi until you learn to properly path and make decisions how to be on right spot on right time which comes with the more time you spend learning the role which is one of the hardest due to constant xp changes and optimal pathing.

Kindred is not very beginner friendly, she is actually rather tough which is why she is mainly played by one tricks. I'd recommend Warwick or MasterYi .

there are so, so many factors that go into jungling effectively that it's best to just ask a good player and/or good teacher to watch over your shoulder

other than that, best you can do is watch scrubnoob, watch vod reviews from coaches like LS, etc.

Do not start with a harder jg. Try some easier first. Maybe WW or someone else.

Jungle routes are important. Here's the most succinct explanation of routes I've seen, Its also only 5 days old so its still relevant.

I used to be a terrible jg, now I think I'm average. Here are some specific tips that were helpful to me.

  1. Take camps on the way to gank, typically power farming is the wrong choice.
  2. Map awareness is extra important for junglers. The F1-5 keys will jump your camera to you teammates, so you can easily watch their lane. you can re-bind them in the menu so that yourself is F5, then F1-4 will follow the order on the score board.
  3. If all you laners are pushing, be ready to counter gank. If you can get a deep ward in the enemy jungle it can help track them for counter ganks.

Kindred is really difficult because of the way their passive works.

any champ that is simple mechanically would be good to learn with, that way you can focus on map awareness and macro game.

Nunu is pretty fun, easy clearing too, and their snowball makes ganking pretty simple.

Rammus could be a good one.

Hecarim maybe.
