You don't understand jungling, if you aren't jungling.

So I got out of this match in a negative mood because: Cassiopeia: I am reporting you for not ganking So, what elese do I say but, ehh.. NO this is a ton of crap, I was doing my job and I ganked when I could, If I didn't gank your lane did a crappy job or it just wasn't open to gank Ashe: You didn't gank my lane either! Same thing, I didn't gank your lane either because you are being a complete jerk, or you don't understand that my job is not as easy as being an adc with no bragging rights because the support did all the work! They engaged for you, got you fed, saved you. You couldn't have done it without them Aatrox (top) is getting bullied by Cass and Ashe because he fed 6 words: It is just a FREAKING GAME!!! Annie: Shuts her mouth because she doesn't want to get involved Good thing the little Annie shut up, kinda ironic, but she was SUPPORTING Nautilus and Aatrox who did nothing wrong.

Just because you didn't get your way doesn't mean you report people over a game.

As someone who's played both mid and jungle i think the issue lies in the difference in mentality. When the midlaner feels like they can win lane if they get some help from jungle they call for a gank. I find that a lot of the time said junglers ignores mid laner and does their own thing. As a jungler i also feel that i should follow my own instinct instead of listening to my laner. The "right" decision to gank or not comes from who knows better, which of course you'd trust yourself over someone random. It's a problem without a solution really.

Despite my better judgement, I'm going to present a mid laner's point of view. I'll start off by saying I go back and forth between jungle and mid lane quite frequently, but I prefer mid lane. So I understand when lanes can be properly ganked with ease to blow a summoner, or even to secure a kill. I understand the placement and I understand you're not going to suicide charge under their turret.

I as a relatively well informed mid laner, will request a gank when I need it to relieve pressure, will offer you free farm in mid lane if I have to back and am unable to shove the wave due to one thing or another, will ask you to help me push a wave to deny the enemy farm, or prevent them from roaming, I will also call you in when it's an easy gank to get you further ahead with free assist or even kill gold.

My enemy lane has likely blown flash already if I'm asking you to come, or I'd like your assistance with it. You're welcome to tax me afterwards, your time is important and clearing the jungle in a timely fashion prevents you from falling behind, as a mitigating factor, please enjoy the little gold and experience I'm giving you through minions.

As a mid laner, it's frustrating to have the enemy jungle camping the crap out of me, and have you farming raptors while I sit under turret 5 feet away getting bullied, only to have you continue deeper into the jungle and ignore my pings for assistance. I'm not trying to waste your time, I'm trying to make it so that I don't end up losing lane, which makes it infinitely more difficult to win the game when there's a lost lane, especially mid lane due to how much of the map that first mid lane turret opens up.

I know in my personal case, it's very unlikely I'm feeding, I'm probably even, maybe ahead, or maybe a touch behind, I've been warding, but the enemy jungler has a hard on for me anyway. I'm not going to yell at you, I'm simply going to request you come and relieve some of the pressure from me because it benefits the team as a whole. You can literally just walk through the lane to scare them into thinking you'll be mid lane when necessary, I personally don't care, but the jungler having map presence is extremely important.

The threat of your presence is enough to prevent people from tower diving, to make the enemy jungler think twice about ganking my lane, to make my lane opponent play more passively, to allow me to play more aggressively, and I know this is true for the other lanes as well.

So no I'm not going to be pissed and report you if you don't gank, I might be a tad frustrated and not understand why you're ignoring my pings though. I'm not going to rage at you, and frankly I'm not angry at you. I'm frustrated with the situation I find myself in and having the enemy with more pressure than myself, maybe due to jungle influence, maybe due to my own mistakes, maybe a mess of other things transpired to create a crappy situation for me, or maybe even a combination of all three. I then see you as a beacon of hope, to help me get out of a bad situation, and then, when you ignore my requests for reasons entirely unknown to myself or others in the game, I get confused and frustrated even further.

I get your side fully, believe me I do, but you need to understand my side of the situation as well.

Now that I've said my peace, your team seemed to be pretty toxic, I don't know if you responded to them at all or not, but hopefully you didn't contribute to the problematic environment as well. This is definitely just a game and a lot of people forget that, additionally a lot of people seem to forget that there's an actual person on the other side of the screen receiving their rage. So for that I apologize on their behalf, as they give us laners a bad name.

Deal with it. I am playing lol 3 damn years, 2 years as a jungler and I have no Idea how to help the lane that's constantly pushing and getting ganked by the enemy jungler lol...

  • If you tell them not to push, they will burn you with ''We are raping them''
  • If they get ganked they will burn you with ''Can you come bot at least once look its 15 min mark''

Just fucking deal with it...i know it hurts but ...you re a jungler.

Most of the time i dont even bother ganking, i do look for opportunity, but usually there is none, so you just farm, place some wards and try to mess with enemy jungler to relieve some of the pressure even if thats possible.

But yeah, i feel you, people flame you for not ganking when themselves wont try to create opportunity for one...

It's always the jungler's fault. Especially when those people have never played jungle before. It's one of those things you learn to deal with. I'm a jungle main, so I feel your pain.

And fuck, let them report you for not ganking. That's not reportable, and their reports become worthless.

Well whenever I'm jungling, I would still gank a lane even if my teammates are huge toxic jerks because it is a team game after all. I usually mute them and it helps a lot. People should try to adapt to their situation and try countering it instead of yelling for the jungler for a gank. I mean, it is their job to hold/win the lane.
