Junglers ignoring team to powerfarm.

Aight so before I start, I'm just gonna say that I'm pretty low elo- mid silver is my guess once I finish placements.

I've been thru several games recently where my jg will deadass only powerfarm and won't be bothered to gank an incredibly overextended lane or help with any skirmishes that break out. Obviously, there are many factors that go into a jglr deciding to gank (health of enemies, matchups, lv advantage, lane placement etc). but what's the deal with this powerfarming that's going on?

Your job as a jglr (and everyone else) is to help your team win, not to just fucking clear every single last camp in the game. Sure you'll earn gold, but farming is a means to an end, not the end. Is this just something that happens at low elo? Do jglrs just get dead-set into the mind set of "of shit, I need to be farming my jg so the other jglr doesn't sleal it!!"? Or is is something else that I'm missing.

It's just so tilting to play 4v5 for the first 20 minutes, and by the time that our jg come back with thier items, we're down too hard and it incredibly hard to come back, even with a fed jg.

It depends on who they are picking to jungle with. If your jungler is yi or shyvanna you need to understand they will farm for most of the game. If you are dying in lane that is on you for not adjusting your play and not them

Ya see jungles will spend a small portion looking for jungle to level and gold and they can't always be at your lane instantly the moment the enemy engages you. Sometimes if there are no tAnks I have to go tank build with vi and I won t help very much till later.

Because a jungler needs gold and exp to carry his INTing trash teammates?

If he wastes his time unsuccessfully ganking lanes its a huge gamble that he may not recover from (say the enemy jungler counter ganks sucessfully-- thereby getting 2 or 3 kills AND now clears our jungle camps/drake etc). If this happens, stalling the game out may now be impossible....
