Junglers don't gank in my games

I've had over 5 games in a row now where my jungler didn't gank even once all game. Last game, our tryndamere jungler didn't even buy a smite item and just farmed early game.

I can't even report them because they don't get bad scores or bad farm, but they don't gank.

Can someone tell me how to deal with this? Playing safe in mid doesn't help either as the enemy mid laner will have better farm/lane dominance and can roam better than me.

Note: I play mid

The jungle has recently went threw some changes. Mostly EXP gain changes. This has slowed down the rate junglers can gank.

Bronze -> low silver Junglers really don't gank much at all which leads me to believe you're in this elo (I'm too lazy to check) or you're just REALLY unlucky in Normal que : p

My suggestion is just play heavy scaling champions and play the long game if you can't rely on your jungler.. It's what i've been doing and since i've adopted that mentality i've been gaining LP fairly quickly B4 last week from poor placements -> s3 50 LP today

i literally just made a post about this and how some junglers pick the role so they dont have to play the game/ are scared of the game.

Have you tried asking them nicely or possibly getting a bigger sword ? That usually works.

look at your map state when your jungler is top side. What's your health, mana, where's the minion wave, are you warded,m is there vision on the other jungler, what's your jungler's current state? Are you even providing an opportunity for the gank? My guess is no.

Laners have spent most of the past couple seasons asking for jungler interference in their lanes to be reduced.

Be careful what you wish for.
