Always let your jungler tax

Right now trying to level from just jungle xp is awful, it's insane how 1 minion wave = 2-3 jungle camps this preseason, don't complain when you jungler taxes part of the wave or pushes your lane, cause he needs that xp much more than you do.

Hypothetical: I am Katarina vs Zed.

My jungler ganks, nothing happens and he stays to tax a full wave of exp.

Zed hits 6 before me and is able to zone me from even more exp.

My jungler never comes again because I'm so far behind.

/end hypothetical

Go away, tax somewhere else if you have to but leave the snowbally matchups alone.

If you come in my lane, get double-kill gold, and then proceed to take my minions, you are just an asshole and I will call you out on that shit.

Just don't tax bot lane it's bad enough we get 4 man ganked when Dragons are up xD

I can easily keep up in xp with my solo laners without taxing at all. I dont just afk farm either and try gank whenever I clear one side of the jungle.

Isn't the entire point of the jungle role, to put your allies ahead? ...and i guess obective control and yada yada. But when it comes to net worth, I really don't think that's jungles biggest issue. Right now, junglers like Olaf and warwick are way too strong because of how much more dragons are effecting the game. And obviously they can take them quite easily. Taking dragons is just another way of putting your allies ahead of the enemy team. Same with rift herald, take herald, go top make space for your top laner to roam after knocking out the t1 tower. The jungle role is entirely about putting your teammates ahead. You're given efficient enough farm in the jungle, and depending on which jungler you play, you should be able to clear with ease and give yourself enough gold to get items that allow you to make plays that help your team.

Irrelevant, the gold/xp denial/snowball potential in a lane when one side is ahead is far greater in the jungle is ahead. A jungler with only losing lanes has no camps to farm because the enemy laners took them.

As such the jungler should only hit the minions to help reset/bounce the wave so their laners gets a good recall to cement their advantage.

This is of course referring to what is correct when people are playing correctly. In wood 4 nothing really matters.
