with the lower jg exp no matter what jg does he at beast is trying to get even with the laner this greats many problem. as in if a lane in low elo dies once or twice, it is not even feeding, but you can no longer gank that lane cause the enemy lanner will be 2 lvl a head of you. even with your lanering helping you your chance of successful gank is low. and that is assuming your laner is helping you when you gank. this assumption is a well you know in low elo an assumption.

also bot ganking bot lane is very hard right now if you laner came just a few sec late you have a very high chance of dieing like an idoit.

jungling at low elo is like hell you need to gank casue farming exp is too low, but when you gank you need your team, and in lower elo having a team is like 1 out of 10 games. please riot if you want to consider player experience at all elo, then do something about jg cause in the lower elo it is unbearable.

Jungling in low elo is a no win situation;

  1. You gank like hell, gain a lead, and your team throws away the lead.

  2. All your lanes feed their ass off from the start.

and that is assuming your laner is helping you when you gank.

As a laner (top, mid, support, i played it all) here's a few very important things I wanna tell the low elo junglers in my games:

  • If I'm at my tower with 1.5 enemy waves crashing into it and I'd have to run past them and lose it to the tower for a chance at a kill/assist you're on your own.

  • If you come to my lane expecting me to initiate your gank you're on your own because all I'm gonna be doing is make it terribly obvious to the enemy laner (and any half decent jungler) that you are here.

  • If you gank me, we get a kill but the minion wave isn't even close to the enemy tower while I'm low on mana then help me push the wave into the enemy tower. Don't fuck off into your jungle. Take all the minions you want in that time, just push the goddamn lane.

  • Whenever I call out "x is camping me" it means "stay the fuck away from my lane, go help the other three people" and not "countergank me 24/7". I'm trying to give you info, not flame you for not camping me as well.

As someone who prefers an objective-based playstyle I'm gonna be your best friend if you can listen to me. I'm gonna enable you to do a semi-secure baron when 5 enemies are up. I'm gonna come to you if you get caught in the enemy jungle and I have priority. But stop blaming me (or other laners) for your lack of awareness and/or game knowledge.

Jungle exp is dumb rn but jungle is not unplayable. Good players can get out of iron bronze and silver no problem, so all you need to do is improve the way you're playing and do what the good players are doing and you can get out too. I'm in silver rn dropped to around 47% winrate and stopped blaming my team every time I lost and now I'm back to exactly 50% winrate in s1 and its lookin like I'll probs be able to get out. Improve your skills and abilities bc you cant control anyone else's
