The job of a jungle??

Was on a mission to get chests for all the champs I owned. Checked and saw 5 midlane champs that had no chests, so I went veigar mid although I main adc, top and sometimes play supp.

Veigar vs lux. She was destroying me. No excuse, no bullshit, she just was pummeling me into the ground. I backed twice in 10 minutes and got killed 2 more times in under 15 minutes. None of the time I was out of lane did my evelyn jungle come to take the farm and protect turret. Nor did she gank before I started dying to the lux.

Her excuse was that she was farming to get levels so that she could gank....lane farm is just as valuable if not a priority due to our turrets. I lost first turret at around 12 and lost another within 5 minutes of that.

I was all to blame, and her rakan duo?? He said I should have been playing safe. I think recalling twice early in lane to avoid feeding was being safe. I was just trying to get stacks, but the lux abuse was real. My question is, what do you do when your jungle is ignorant afk farming while her duo defends her actions and blames you.

Obviously I could have played better, there is no mistake, but I was left to dry and so was my lane.

As a jungle main reading this here are my thoughts

  1. I always try to defend turrets and take the cs because yes it is valuable and will be wasted if not soaked up
  2. Ganking a losing lane is never desireable for a jg because they might also begin to feed that lane which is very bad when they could have ganked a winning lane to help secure a kill
  3. Many people who jungle are just ignorant to what they should be doing, they might not even be a jungle main. Always attempt to convey a message to the jungler in a nice way so they are more likely to respond back with what you are telling them. EXAMPLE: when i lane I dont say "please gank bot" or "you havent been bot yet jungler?" Just say something like " when they push me up in lane they are free kills" who wouldnt want a free kill? lol

It's not the junglers job to win your lane. That simple tbh.

Lux battles are not about playing safe, but rather dodging her skills, which honestly is hard to do, but again, you can't expect your jungler to win your lane.

Imo, Eve is pretty win, win more. Shes pretty fucked if 2 lanes lose and if enemy gets to a point they can invade freely.
