How do you deal with a jungler who doesn't gank?

I was playing Ziggs mid in ranked against an Anivia. I knew I would eventually start to be zoned really hard, so I asked for ganks from our Udyr jungler. It's around 15minutes in and he hasn't ganked at all. I've been ganked by the enemy Lee and died 2 or 3 times. I tried roaming bot but they refused to engage so I couldn't do anything there. The entire enemy team was fed and they just snowballed from there.

I'm not asking for tips on how to beat Anivia mid. Yes I'm salty, but I'm asking for advice. I'm asking for tips on how to deal with a lane I know I can't win, when I can't roam and the jungler won't gank.

Should I sit under my turret and do nothing at all and hope for the best?

You learn how to win lane by yourself. Buy wards, to prevent ganks. Roam and get kills or snowball bot. And most importantly stop blaming others and take a hold of your enemies testies and squeeze!

You can't win if your jungler doesn't apply any kind of pressure throughout the game, sometimes it happens that a jungler AFKs farm the first 8 minutes and still does nothing after it, turning the game in a 4v5.

Since you were Ziggs you were supposed to delay as much as possible their pushing by waveclearing so your team could come slowly back into the game, if you did that, you did all you could've.

Act as bait, and run into the jungle, take the gank to the jungler. XD

sit under your turret, get as much Cs as possible, and play safe.

I'm curious how annie is a hard match up for Ziggs when you can press Q from 3,000 range and farm a whole minion wave.

Ziggs sitting with a 55% wr overall and a 54% winrate against Annie. Darn, I'm curious what a bad match up for him is x3.

You're playing Ziggs, one of Anivia's counters. You just sit at long range and farm/push/harass. Literally, Anivia should never get on top of you. Ward for lee sin (save it for when the lane is pushing more). Always save W, and detonate it after lee sin q's to you.

But in all reality, you must have been pushing nonstop - this would explain how lee sin killed one of the safest mid laners 2-3 times, and why you jg never ganked.

And Ziggs (along with Xerath and other artillery mages) is really hard for Anivia to deal with so that in of itself shouldn't have been a problem either.
