Like the games where junglers go bot are USUALLY wins and ignoring bot is usually a loss. Like it just baffles me that people wonder why an adc is so ahead and then dont do anything xd

plat jungle main here, bot is just a hard gank most of the time, especially in soloq. Not only is it double the amount of rando's that you have to trust help you in your gank, its also out of the way, usually the most heavily warded and the easiest to turn into an enemy win. A general rule I have always heard is "its much easier to turn a 2 v 3 than a 1 v 2" ganking top or mid you can cc to death or get a summoner spell, whereas bot it's always a much higher chance of losing your own life, or spells and therefore wasting precious early game time. Not to mention if the other bot lane is already ahead. That ties into another rule "gank your winning lanes"

Maybe I'm crazy and have been taught wrong/ learned wrong but that's my 2 cents - 4 Gum Udyr

You could kindly ask, “jg pls help bot” or “jg pls gank bot so we can drag” — most jg’s will then either come or explain they’re trying to help another lane and can’t come

Alternatively: freeze wave near (not under) your turret so that the enemy ADC/Supp are put in a dangerous position. Without vision, their Bot lane will be pushed in and especially susceptible to your jg’s ganks. Most jg players will come help if this happens — without you having to ask

Riot forces jungles to be even more selfish since the jungle is worthless so any gank needs a payout, "helping" isn't something we can afford anymore. Wave/kill/tower is basically the fee and its not worth returning if you are denied.

Regarding bot, as another jungler said, so many times botlanes don't setup for the gank or afk-farm once the jungle gets there. If the jungle paid more then we could be generous, but riot demands we play basically 1v9. I do miss actually being able to help the team instead of just looking for lanes with a quick paycheck.
