Actual question: what do you do when you're jungling and...

The laners just push like mad all lane phase? From what I can see, you've got 2 options. The first is to lane gank, which means sitting in a lane bush and slowly going insane as your laner refuses to let the wave push back, so you have one option. You ward the enemy jungler and try to keep track of them and countergank. This means you're spending gold on wards, probably getting less cs than the enemy jungler, and if all 3 lanes are pushed it can be hard to see where to countergank. That's assuming the enemy jungler isn't just afk farming for a Devourer.

I can't really see a good strategy for this situation, which happens all too often in soloq. I'm sure there are opportunities I don't know how to look for, but right now all I can do is just try to get dragons and sigh as the enemy Pantheon gets a free ride to Legendary.

You don't need to ward the enemy Jungle to keep track of his ganks, you just need to ward river.

To Figure out what to Do if all your lanes are pushing, you really need to know why. Could be that your players are noobs. But maybe they are just being super aggressive because they are an Early game bully.

In general. I would probably Start taking control of the enemy Jungle. Counter Jungling can work, and you can catch the enemy Jungler by surprise. (especially if you have high burst damage like Nid)

If you can't invade, (because you are not a good duelist, or counter Jungler) Then all I could recommend is to pick a lane, and help them siege tower faster.

Your final option would be to solo Dragon (if it's up.) If the enemy Jungler is on the top side of the map, you should be in fair position to take it. (since the pushed uped, enemies won't be able to interfere.)

If your lanes are actually able to push their lanes HARD and not get punished, let them. I say ward up then go back to farming. Eventually their jungler SHOULD gank and when they do, if you're there to countergank go for it but if not try and take an objective somewhere else because you will have more presence elsewhere on the map (ie if jungler ganks bot gank mid/top and take tower). Also, depending on what they are playing you can try to invade if you want, just make sure you are stronger then them or that you know your team will have your back.
