Junglers having way too much of an impact

Junglers don't like you? Say goodbye to ganks, counterganks, or even defending your tower. You better listen to every command they say or else they will neglect you and forget that you exist and then later notice you exist because the enemy jungler decided to fuck your lane over. Junglers literally decide the lane's outcome.

So... Adapt? It isnt your junglers job to win your lane for you.

Are you getting dived constantly? If not, then its 100% on you.

One day riot will make it so the jungle isnt 90% of the game in the first 20 mins of the game.

Until then you have to hope you roll the better one as a top laner or automatically lose the game in any respectable elo.

that was the case in season 3-4 but riot didn't like bruisers being strong picks in games cause everyone that plays a squishy complains about them being too tank and having too much damage

That's literally the role of a jungler. They are suppose to have an impact on your lane, and often handling shot calling since the majority of the map is (guess what?) the jungle. They can help you snowball your lane with a successful gank, or putting it behind by either not ganking, or failling a gank.

If you're unable to handle lane pressure or reading the enemy jungle path to avoid ganks, that is on you. If you do something for the jungler to think you're not gank worthy, i.e. subpar performance, then it's on you.

With that said, you should also consider that your jungler could be doing something else while the enemy jungler bothering you (meaning your jungler putting their trust on you to play smart and buy time for your jungler to do whatever they need to do). Whether it could be counter-jungling, or putting pressure on another lane, or getting a jungle/lane objective.

Of course, I'm taking it for granted that these junglers you're talking about knows what they are doing.
