Their are appropriate times to gank. Don't spam ping.

Times I will not gank:

  1. You are pushed so far into turret that you are actually past the goddam turret. Your not even level 6 chill the push.
  2. I am currently counter jungling the other side of the map.
  3. You have fed your laner to 5/0, despite help from either I or another laner. I will die if I gank, stop spam pinging.
  4. If you are a jackass. If you act like a complete dick, I couldn't care less about your lane.
  5. There is a pink ward in the bush 5 teemos from you. Just clear it. It's that simple.

Times I will gank:

  1. You asked nicely. Thank for asking nicely.
  2. You have called out summoner times for your enemy.
  3. You have let your enemy push lane when I am on your side of the map.
  4. You have made sure to know if your lane is warded, and pinged accordingly.
  5. If you have CC. Junglers like CC.

If I am playing a farm centered jungler and don't have a good chance to early gank you, don't all in level 3. If I am playing an early game centered jungler, don't insta push lane. If I am ganking, don't give it away until they see me. (this goes for Shaco smh) If you have CC, wait for their escape move. If they don't use their escape move, good for you they didn't get away. If I ping "on my way" look at the map. "On my way" does not mean I am right behind them and you should flash in.

Thank you, I am done now.

The truth is too strong, it drives me nuts when people spam for a gank but are practically under the enemies turret. #noimnotdivingthanks summoner 6

Sadly this is a decent set of guidelines that will farm down votes like crazy. Things jungle mains will know are required for good ganks anger the general non jungle player base. They do not like being told the truth.

As for feeding the lane if you account for the possible counter gank a 2/0/0 lane is more than enough to make things very painful. Their laner got extra cs + exp and your laner is weak. Unless your really fed and it's a sure thing it's probably a better idea to avoid ganking there. That is, if it's not a free easy 100% kill the risk of going to that losing lane is higher than what you get out of it. Oh, and if your laner is already behind odds are even if they recover and gain a lead they won't be able to carry. In most cases they're either on tilt or just unskilled enough to instantly throw away the lead you gave them.

As for them calling sums / warning of wards.. Good luck with that. I've played with Plats / Diamonds on their smurfs in the past with voice chat that didn't warn about wards (They were keeping track of summoners most of the time).

Farm centered junglers are really hilarious to play. It's literally just do your business and take anything (HEAVY Pressure or Kills) that's free and not out of the way while praying you don't get three lanes that go 0/3/0 or 0/5/0 or worse before you hit your stride from farm (If it's not a early game invade jungler and I can focus on just clearing I generally hit 6 about the same time as top lane).
