Why do people expect junglers to do everything?

Hey jungler when you gank, make sure to keep them there for at least 3 seconds while I get there

make sure to ping 10 seconds in advance, 4 second ping that you’re ganking is too sudden

hey jungler you should always be the one to engage

adc: hey jungler, gank and do everything above but also survive and let me get the kill, don’t feed my lane

hey jungler you need to gank more, fuck your farm early, also solo/steal all drakes but also get herald for top without their help since they’re busy too

hey jungler we told you to not farm early and gank us more, but also dont farm midnand late game becaue you gotta group

hey jungler why are you so low lvl cmon

mid: hey jungler I saw u in river getting scuttle, so I engaged thinking you’d get here asap, why didnt you get here faster with your default boots

mid continued:hey jungler why didnt you secure the kill, I flash ignited the enemy too

hey jungler counter-jungling is a waste of time just gank us

hey jungler you help us, we shouldnt ever help you..deal with the enemy team invading you by yourself

hey jungler your buffs belong to me even if im losing, I can carry with buffs idc if you’re fed

jungler frontline for me, deal damage, also cc, focus teamfights and also objectives, make sure to stay with me all the time, I can 1v5

A lot of those aren't unreasonable requests that you should abide by even if you aren't jungler.

You should ping before you gank a lane. Jungler isn't the only role that ganks. We all have to.

I'm a support, and when I go mid, I always ping that I'm doing that so my mid has time to get in position or they can tell me if there's vision somewhere. They can also ping me off, saying it's a bad time and they cannot follow up.

As for other things like securing a kill for yourself, that's a judgement call. If a hypercarry like Yi does it, I don't mind too much, but it's almost always better to spread the love around and make the team get a massive lead in gold. It's also risky because if you steal all the kills, and you have a huge bounty, eventually you're going to die, and if it goes to an enemy hyper carry, nobody will have enough items to deal with that.

Players are generally lazy and want to get LP from riding the success of others. They don't want to put in the work themselves to succeed.

Because games are super easy when your jungler gets ahead.

The problem is riot. As they permanently change jungle every season. So you got jungle from being second support to solo carry and the people remember this no matter what the actual state of it is. If riot would nerf jungle to the ground next season so that which jungler picks teemo first to be mobile ward to be atleast somehow useful people would still remember the solo carry style and blame jungle. But this isn't only for jungle the same goes for every lane like bot with ardent right after they got brought back in lane adc players still thought they are the only important role in game.

I agree. Jungler is infuriating and stressful to play

maybe hardest role
