Why do people STILL blame the jungler?

Okay so i just had a game as rengar where i did decent until the end. We had a graves top who fed really hard, which is in some cases understandable, as it happens to everyone, but what i didn't understand is why he pulled the classic "blame the jungler" card off the topdeck. It happens to me 9 times out of 10 games that we lose and i will admit i did not gank for him as much as i could have. But as a jungler I have to worry about ganking for 3 lanes (since they were all losing most of the game) and dragon and now even rift herald. It is a lot to balance for one person right? And what some players just don't get is that it can be really damn hard for the jungler to consistently gank all three lanes, while keeping ward control and securing herald and dragon. It probably really sounds like i'm just letting toxic players get to me, and i guess i am, but i can't be the only one who is a little fed up at this point. I mean i love playing jungle, but sometimes it makes it unbearable when i have to deal with stuff like that. Maybe i should just mute everyone lmao

Note: i didn't really know which board to put this under, since its kinda just a rant, so sorry if it is in the wrong one.

Happens every game, just had a game on euw where the duo bot lux and lucian fed hard. I wasn't even done with my first clear and they started pinging for ganks. I tried to gank and got them the kill but both me and lucian died, naturally the lucian decided to flame me for "feeding" the jinx. I ignored their lane for the majority of the game because of this and focused feeding my top. I got none stop insults from bot, my whole bot side cleared by them, no help in teamfights, and leaving me to die every time I engage in a winnable gank for them. All because I didn't babysit their lane when they we're losing in s a 2v2 situation. Their lane was barely warded the entire time, they would constantly overextend, the lux had no idea how to zone the morgana or shield the lucian. so generally it was a shitfest, and I got the blame for it.

Of course if you talk about this though or suggest they stop overextending you'll just get called a shit jungler and they'll claim they could probably do a better job than you which I'd love to see them try. I blame riot for giving laners so much power that they can shit talk the jungler without worrying about getting a restriction, a ban, or whatever.

I try to jungle sometimes and what happens mostly is I get pings to help before I have three camps down. More often than not it's mid lane but I can't do anything. They fail to play safe and die or on a rare occasion they will recall. I go around getting my camps, warding, stealing what I can and look for ganks. When I am looking to gank the lanes are pushed. When I'm farming and a bit low everyone wants help. I just don't know any more.

adc's are selfish, supports are scared to go solo, mids dont understand why the rest of the team is falling apart, & top is minding his own business.

just report them for unsportsman & move on.
