Jungling doesn't feel fun

I've been playing jungle since Lux release in S1. I peaked D2 in S4.

Jungling feels horrible right now. It feels like I HAVE to go around and win every one of my lanes ASAP before they feed (which has always been the case), but now I'm lower level than everyone after 5 minutes. If one of the enemy lanes gets ahead they feel ungankable. I feel weak unless I'm 3-0 in early game. If they have a mid that roams in to my jungle they can 1v1 me any time they want. It feels like a lot of things need to fall in to place in my games in order for it to be fun for me (ie. not a one-sided stomp; or it is one but in my favor).

I want to play this game and have the kind of fun I used to have, but it doesn't seem to be there. What am I supposed to be doing that I'm not? It feels like I'm walking on a tight-rope, but if I slip up it takes me 20-30 minutes of waiting before I get to try and have fun again.

RIOT gutted the role and its nearly unplayable in SoloQ. The entire pace of the game is driven by your midlane (Usually some 12 yr old, 10-death-power-spike Yasuo mid) spam pinging you as finish gromp for the fastest level 3 possible. Game is already over haha xD.

Its fine in normals, since coinflip laners aren't trying to play optimally, however. So you can have some fun there.
