Something that has never made sense
That some people think dragon is solely the junglers responsibility.

Dragon control is usually the jungler's responsibility. If the enemy jungler is nearby, we can't do it reliably without you. We can't win a smite-fight without a smite. If you're running to toplane to help an 0/6 toplaner (not worth the time at all) instead of positioning for dragon, it IS (partially, at the least) your fault if the enemy gets dragon. It's not worth dancing around hoping for a lucky steal when we could instead be pusing lanes and getting a good recall off. We're not going to try a high-risk play if you have bad objective control.
Yes, it's not solely your job to do, but it falls more on you than any other position. If we get a dragon, it's often because you're there, or you're in toplane counter-ganking so it's clear for us to take. If we lose dragon, it's most often because you're not there when we could take it, or missed smiting it.
It feels even worse when you're shyvanna and you miss out on up to 25 armor and magic resist because you get no support around dragon.
Getting blamed for missing smite is worse under certain circumstances.
Why did you miss your smite stupid jungler? What do you mean my fourth shot outdamages it? Why should I wait for you to be ready to smite when I'm right clicking? LUL you expect me to take responsibility for securing objectives? I'm an ADC, that's not my job, it's yours. /all Stupid jungler can't smite.
Or...
Jungler: Hey, careful with your rend.
