If as a jungler, all you do is farm and never group

Don't yell at your team when their jungler has pressured the map, won at least 2 lanes and as a result, the game because farming and not being grouped with the team was more important to you. It's a team game, jungling isn't the role to play if you want to AFK farm, especially on gank oriented junglers.

fair enough but usually a capable jungler does this when he knows the game is already over. As a jungler you get good at noticing who is ass on your team. You get good at noticing who doesnt know how to setup a gank. I am not saying this is your case, But mill it around in your head and see if you just were not giving your jungler an opportunity to gank before feeding your lane.

what do you mean you do that when you know the game is over? does that mean you're just waiting the game out until your team surrenders instead of doing something useful?

I didn't feed, I don't ask for ganks often either. In fact, if I'm losing lane or just getting camped, I'd want my jungler to go to other lanes and actually do something. But when the enemy jungler is pressure every lane and has successfully ganked all of them once and your jungler has done nothing but farm, that's incredibly frustrating. It has nothing to do with my ability to setup ganks or even my own ability, it's just that farming junglers are cancer to play with in general because they either farm up and carry or end up worthless because the rest of their team got camped to hell and lost the game. But even then, people play this way on heavy gank oriented junglers like Xin and Rammus.

For me I usually ask my team if I can just duo top, and they'll beg me to go jungle. I do my best to farm and gank, but it's just not my thing... I'm horrible at timing ganks. My team yells at me for being a bad jungle, and blames the entire loss on me.

I sigh, shrug off their insults and move on to the next game. My mind has been there for the 20~30mins before surrender anyways.

Well unless you get forced to jungle every game, which is rare, you should be okay. But it's a matter of practice after that point.

If 2 lanes lost solo and the other lane got ganked before I showed up, then there's nothing I can do but farm until I'm strong enough to actually gank the winning lanes, because the lanes that lost by themselves are going to be behind, and especially at top or bot, these lanes snowball really hard.

This is also why I only play fast farming junglers - so that farming and comebacks through outscaling is an option.

nunu is an option for this, he can farm and power level easily to get an early gank

the problem with nunu though, he has no real offensive pressure late game. everyone learns to target him, but a slow, free abilities and an ult that does massive damage and slows at the same time is fairly good

also, it's fun to use W to make sure you and a teammate can run away or towards an enemy XD

That is just as bad as the "I don't gank until level 6" junglers. If you can't pressure lanes before level 6, don't jungle.
