Jungling

Jungle - In my opinion, the hardest role in the game.

Recently I started learning jungle. For some odd reason I decided it would be smart to start with the hardest champs. See LeeSin and Nidalee . After a few games I realized that working with more mechanically easy champs would be a better choice so I can focus more on the macro than the micro of the champion that I play with.

So I decided to pick up MasterYi, due to the fact that everyone says he's easy. Much to my surprise it wasn't the case, and I ended up pretty much inting in every second game because I can't get an early advantage. I tried Jax too and it played out pretty much the same as with Yi. Then I turned my eyes to easy early game jungles such as XinZhao and Warwick . The first few games on Warwick went pretty well. I prioritized helping my botlane so they can snowball and win their lane and secured dragon anytime it was possible to since it's on botside as well. But as I said, only the first few games. After quite a few and when I was getting used to my champ, that went downhill as well and I went on really bad losing streaks day after day after day and I don't know why. I went in with a positive mindset and a plan in mind, but still it didn't work.

Then I tried Amumu (Someone suggested it to me because even if you're 0/11 you can still do something with your cc, so because I go 0/11 often I considered it so I can at least be useful to my team and prove the flamers wrong), and that's not going well for me either.

I've watched high elo junglers like Cowsep, NB3 and I Will Dominate, looked up guides on jungling and read so much material on it and I keep trying to put it into practice.

Somehow I always end up behind in farm, I fail all my ganks, and just become so irrelevant while I watch the enemy jungler snowball, tear all my lanes apart, and my teammates flame me into oblivion. Lately I've been muting everyone just so I can focus on what should be done. But I'm starting to get so hopeless because I just can't do anything and I keep letting my team down and I just don't know what to do anymore.

I'd like to ask for help, like a mentor of sorts if I can call it that. And if not, I'll appreciate any and all advice anyone can give me.

its not nearly as hard as it just plain unique to every other role, its mainly prediction, knowledge, and macro heavy where other roles are currently micro heavy because of this meta. it just takes practice trust me theres a noticeable learning curve to it and you have to adapt a lot due to constant jg changes and it generally being the most diverse position role-wise outside of jg not really having mages. if you wanna learn jg warwick and xin are definitely the best options for it since they're not hard to play and rely more on knowledge of the role than anything else

ALSO dont listen to stupid people that will tell you "just gank all the time you dont have to famr, jg op" because thats just false and you need to keep a lot of your camps cleared out with good pathing to optimize your ganking potential

I'd say mid is the hardest by far.
