One thing that absolutely infuriates me as a Jungler

I see it - it's an easy gank, the only thing that could go wrong is a counter gank but I'm Nidalee, I clear fast, Amumu is still in his jungle. I spam the 'On My Way Ping' until I can ping spam no more. Don't worry Broski, no, Lolski - I'm coming. Me and you, together, we'll gankbang your enemy laner and getchu ahead. This is it, it's the moment of truth. I'm in the lane, I'm focused on what I'm doing now, I expect that my Lolski will be perform as necessary since I did tell him I was coming, he's had ample warning, and I'm sure he's competent, right? Even if he isn't, it's ok, I'm Nidalee. I apply the red buff, I land my spear, I dash in, I drop the combo. His health just took a massive hit - but I know that my chasing ability is limited. The new nerfs have gutted my resets - to finish him off I'll require assistance. But it's okay, he just needs to land a few spells and this will be a 100% successful gankbang. But it doesn't come. My laner is simply sitting miles away, starting to walk forwards as he realises that his enemy laner is low. But it's too late, he was not ready. Why? What went wrong? Why didn't he go in? This was to be so simple? It was there, the kill it was there! It could have been so easy. As a jungler I'm left at odds, my vision destroyed, the aftertaste of frustration slowly seeps into my mouth... Why? I gave him warning, it was obvious, it was easy, I gave them everything I could, I gave them my all - but they gave me nothing... And I walk away, knowing that I wasted time that could better have been spent elsewhere.

Sometimes I come back - under false hope. 'He's seen what I can do now, so surely he'll be ready this time'. But to no avail. It just isn't there.

Sub out Nidalee with another champion as necessary.
