Why is it people blame every loss in Bronze on Jungler?

Kraythax··1 votes·632 views

First of all I am not diamond, never claim to be and the people who think they are but are ranked bronze irritate me immensely. But here is how a typical loss in bronze goes. You get in a game, the lanes push to the towers and complain you dont gank. What do they think jungler is supposed to do? Tower dive? Of course since they are pushed so far forward they die to the enemy jungler and then they complain you didnt gank. Like all I have to do is hang around protecting their keesters and at the same time how am I supposed to rank up? Oh and Im supposed to protect top and Bot at the same time apparently. You know what is strange is most mid players dont seem to have this problem. Then the coup de grace, one or another lane feeds the bejesus out of the enemy and they get uber strong and now they blame me for their loss. Oh its always the Jungler. If you had a good jungler would that keep you from feeding them by stupid actions. Would it keep you from pushing the lanes to towers?

Being Jungler in this game is a thankless, nay, strike that, a MASSOCHISTIC job. You get all the crap, are perpetually behind a level at least and evetryone blames every loss on you. Really makes me want to say to heck with this game and take my $ elsewhere.

As a jungle main here is one solid SOLID tip I can give you. At the start of the game I MUTE everyone. I have all chat disabled any way. But mute your whole team before the game even gets going. Trust me I use to feel like muting my team was going to screw with my wins but in the long run its easier for me to focus on what I need to do withiut seeing what smart ass things my teams have to say. Becayse every single game you'll hear some whiny crap.

Gank top lane and bot land will bitch they getting campped and jungle never helps. Even tho its them who are pushed to the enemies turret with no vision in river. Gank bot and mid abd top complains about the same garbage.

It is so relaxong to farm jungle, attempt to make a play happen then farm some more without having to hear any crying. And there is NO communication you are missing out on by muting your team. Pings are perfectly fine and work.

That is the most useful comment I have gotten on these boards, thank you. I remember being killed a couple times standing in a bush responding to some jack ....... person flaming me and blaming me because they died 5 times. So tired of it. Took your advice for a game and it was great.

Thanks. Have a great day.

if you're stuck in bronze u cant blame your team the fault for losing is completely yours since u cant improve your teams, u can help only yourself to climb out of that elo and just dont jg use annie veigar on mid and you're out of bronze in 100 games max.

Winters Dawn is right on the money. I have had the same thought in the past many times. For every nugget of helpful advice, coaching, or friendly support I probably see 10 to 15 negatives.

The scapegoat routine is very psychological and you'll encounter this at all levels in the game. I am in Plat and main jungling. It never stops.

I literally cannot name how many games I've played where I'm helping a bot lane get a double kill only to be flamed by another lane for not bring in their lane at the exact same moment.

Some people, of all ages, have a built in defense mechanism to not take accountability for their actions and their defense is to blame something or someone external to them as the cause.

The jungler is always the scapegoat because all other teammates have an assigned lane theyre attached to. The jungler is the roamer or policemen to use an analogy. You have multiple distress signals you want to respond to but its your job to prioritize and pick the one where you and your team can make the largest impact one at a time.

In solo q it is challenging to guess which teammate is best suited or capable of carrying if you help them get ahead. I run into a lot of mids that require handholding during the entire lane phase as they cant handle any enemy jungle pressure and wont adapt a defensive play pattern when being camped.

The advice by Winter to mute all teammates is a really good one. I think Ill try it as well as I can get snap back at people who start predictably bullying me as the generic jungler when Im 2-0 and theyre 0-2 in the first 8 minutes.

It is really lousy to even get in these arguments with illogical people. Avoiding the flame wars will help you climb.

Btw, try hard carrying with champs like Lee Sin, Zac, Master Yi in bronze. Playing tanks can be good as most teams dont know how and when to initiate fights but youll lose games if you are the high mmr in a given game on your team and you dont play a carry.

Often jungling is about identifying the weak link on the enemy team and abusing them more than helping your weakest lane matchup. You can play it either way, but getting an adc fed may help your team more than helping a struggiling top Nautilis fend off an angru Renekton for 30 seconds. Some lanes cant scale as well when ahead so manage your time and ganks wisely.

Best of luck. #1 stay positive and you'll make it iut of Bronze. Try to help your team avoid baron throws as well. It happens a lot through Gold. Better to not attempt it than throw a lead when the full enemy team is going to contest the try.
