Something I'm tired of junglers doing

Something that I've encountered a few times is when I ask for a gank when I'm losing lane and my jungler says "I'm not ganking your lane. Your enemy laner is too fed." I could understand my jungler saying this if my enemy laner had a crazy amount of kills and more gold than Bill Gates, but usually I get this when the enemy laner has around three kills on me and is barely a level ahead of me. I could just farm and do nothing else, but the enemy laner is obviously going to try to harass me because they are stronger than me. I obviously can't kill them solo, but I could almost definitely kill them with the help of the jungler. Unfortunately, my jungler is convinced that this level 8 Lux is literally immortal. Is the enemy snowballing? Yes. But if you help me kill them, I can get more cs and stop their snowballing. I hate blaming the jungler because of how hard their job is, but these junglers are barely doing their job.

You should play jungle then you'd understand why they don't put all their time/effort into the teammate doing the worst...or just think about it.

I have played jungle and its pretty hard, but I think that its better to help a lane that is struggling but still definitely savable than to help a lane that is already set for the moment. I'm not talking about if I'm 0/7/0, I'm taking about if I'm 0/3/0 or sometimes even 0/2/0.

If you're 0/3/0 you definitely don't know what you're doing and it would make little sense to help you; as the Jungler would be wasting his time. It is more beneficial for everyone for the Jungler to push objectives and ensure the teammates doing well keep doing well. Why help 1 person when you can help the entire team by pushing objectives and snowballing potential carrys (I doubt you'll carry when you're losing lane horribly).

Agreed. First 15 mins a laner shouldn't be hard pushing the wave or trying to go for kills, the first 15 mins should be nothing but FARMING not going for kills(Unless it's 100% free).

Give the jungler time to get ult that will pretty much be a kill gank every time.

Not to mention a jungler in most cases unless their (trick2g or Nightlbue or a LCS player) are 1-2 levels behind the solo laners so the enemy will have 2 combat stats ahead of the jungler.

I agree with you (Hrd) and with (EUNSON) the jungler's job can be difficult and in my opinion the hardest among the roles as they have to not only protect 3 towers they also need to stay farmed up and stay equal or more than the enemy jungler help give kills, get dragons, smite correctly and be in every teamfight and typically get blamed the most when losing or about to lose the game.

IF a laner loses lane AND/OR gives 3 kills to the enemy laner before the 15 min mark/ or if the jungler hasn't hit 6 yet it is 100% the Laners fault that they lost lane.

Most junglers look at the lanes TOP-MID-BOT IF a lane needs help but hasn't given up any kills yeah the junglers will help but if a lane is 0-3 and the enemy laner is 3-0 DON'T expect a gank anytime soon if any ganks from them. Their not going to waste their time to help a lane that is most likely all ready lost but instead their going to help a lane that isn't feeding.
