Hard pushing lanes really hurts your JG this season

Help the JG not have to play support role please and set up ganks for the JG !!

So with the triple JG nerfs (camp exp, camp gold and duo lane exp which is less exp while ganking also) the JG needs to be able to get gank to be relevant in that game. When I am in a game asking for ganks and letting the team know I need them in the que lobby before the game even starts and they still push all the lanes; it really hurts me and leaves me very far behind. This leaves me to basically just play support JG for the rest of the game because I will have very little impact if I just farm my creeps and get dragons/rifts. Dragons give nerfed gold now and barely any exp but they do help the team a lot = support role to get them.

Edit: Shoving the lane is ok to take priority but constantly being shoved is the problem. Level 3 ganks are the most powerful because that is the only time the jg will be the same level as the solo lanes. So try to set up your lane for an early gank then shove till dragon. then let your wave push back so you can get another gank etc.

Isn't that what every lane that's falling behind is supposed to do? Support the rest of the team? Why would the jungler be an exception? I understand the recent changes have been harsh on the role but in a lot of my games, the jungler still has a huge impact! If every lane is pushing, that means the enemy jungler will gank at some point, right? Just try to be there at the same time and countergank by following what he's doing. That would be enough of an impact I think.

Can't win for losing with the jg community. IF the lane isnt pushed we don't have lane priority which means we cant help you contest objectives without being put massively behind.

"i don't want to support the team so I expect the team to support me, even though this means a massive disadvantage"

So with the triple JG nerfs (camp exp, camp gold and duo lane exp which is less exp while ganking also)

If all your lanes are pushing you can do 4 things :

  • Powerfarming (If you powerfarm, the jungle xp/gold nerf is not a nerf but a buff, because camps respawn faster now), the jungle took a 15% xp nerf but the camps respawn 20% faster.)
  • Invading ennemy jungler
  • setup a counter gank
  • get objectives, since your lanes have priority, all the scuttlers, drakes, heralds are yours.

My prefered options are counterganking and getting the objectives. a successfull countergank on a pushed lane means you get a double, plates, the minion wave crash onto the tower, both you and your laner will get a massive lead from a good countergank.

Top be honest. That's what the jungle role was in the glory days of league.

A support role. Not this cancer ganking bs.

Obviously they did gank... But they were support basically. With money.

Honestly I would love to see Jungle become that way again. Be nice to actually finally have junglers get the fuck out of the lane and fulfill an objective category instead of kills... Now I want this post to go the exact opposite way ._. oh boy.
