i'm fairly new to the game and i'm trying to main jungle. currently the champs i'm trying to main are . in ranked i am silver 2 and i do decent when i play jungle. but i really struggle with warding and ganking. im not sure where to ward and how to keep track of the enemy jungler. he keeps invading my jungle at the beginning of the game and there is nothing i can do about it. recently i had a match where a yassuo kept flaming me because i didn't help him on top. now when he did i was still farming cause i was below level 6. another time i was helping bot lane. was he justified in flaming me? should i have gone up and ganked. i have ok map awareness but i don't when to gank. we ended up losing that match to a 100% crit yassuo what should i have done? i was olaf. all in all i'm not sure if im enjoying myself in this game.

Buy a control ward every time you back and if you got the gold. Assume your laners will never buy one, and they usually don’t in bronze

My tip for Warwick as I often play jungle ww.

You can get dragon at level 3. Depending on what side you are on start at you far buff, kill wolves, get the nearer buff, scuttles then drag. You may need to early smite, but your passive and blood scent should keep you safe.

I find once you get drag that early it can intimidate the enemy a little. From there just pressure the lanes. Even if you don’t attack, just scare them with an active blood scent.

You will get flamed A LOT. Because if someone is loosing its lane, they will often blame jungler, because there is no one else to blame. You will get used to it. Some games will just suck hard and it will feel like there is nothing you can do. Welcome to League of Legends.

That is far too complicated a question to answer with just a description like that. Whether or not that is correct depends on the situations that are occurring in the game, which we cannot see. Which, coincidentally, is the answer to your next question.

i have ok map awareness but i don't when to gank.

When and where to gank depends on the state of lanes and the map, what it is like and what it will be like when you get there, whether or not there is an advantage to be gained from it.

all in all i'm not sure if im enjoying myself in this game.

Don't sweat it. An appeal of this type of game is that it is deep in it's information, there is a lot of information and nuances to learn, and there's a lot of things for players to have fun discovering. (There's also players who have fun throwing their champs at each other.) Now you can decide for yourself what type of games you enjoy and want to play, but you shouldn't get down over individual matches not turning out due to things you don't know yet, that's not reasonable to do to yourself. It's part of the process of learning, of the progression of correction and the enjoyment of self-improvement.
