Is it really SO hard for junglers to gank in Silver?

In close to every single game I play, the jungler in my team doesn't gank anywhere.

Why? Is it so hard to gank?

because they are lvl 3 when you're lvl 6 and they dont want to get near the opponent you fed and who is lvl 7/8

thanks to riot latest patch

Umm here are my thoughts about silver. Stomp lane and carry yourself or stay the rank you are. CounterJungle and CounterGank or stay the rank that you are. Support better or stay the rank that you are. The only thing that you can control is what YOU do. So if YOU can't carry, don't play ranked.

Junglers in the last week or two can't cope with the rate of lane feed Silvers exhibit. They got an XP nerf until level 8, so you need to understand that and play your lanes safer.

It's not their fault you can't lane properly, feed each lane 0/3 by level 6, while they are struggling to keep up with your unwarded, aggressive, full pushing lanes.

Learn to respect your enemies and pretend you know with 100% certainty that if you were to skirmish, you are going to die, not the enemy, and you'll find you and your junglers win more games.

What I hate is when the enemy jg constantly show themselves by ganking/camping a lane and your own jg doesn't do anything on the other side of the map. No counter jg, no neutral objective or gank of their own, just content farming their own jg being absent in the game.

If you lose a skill match up lane in your ranked game. Who ya gonna blame? Blame the jungler!

Silvers don't deserve ganks.. Even golds... Why risk helping someone that could either be good or not even know how to play at all.

This is a direct result of S10 jungle nerfs that everyone but jgs supposedly like. JG is extremely difficult to gank from this season and requires a higher skill level than Silvers possess, if they did, they would quickly leave Silver.

It's also impossible to gank certain lanes unless your laner is ahead by quite a bit (like Morde for example). It's impossible to gank Morde unless your solo laner can already 1v1 him and brings him low enough for you to come in and 1v1 him when your laner can't, which is pretty rare tbh given how far behind the JG is playing from.

As a JG, if you're getting permaganked it means you've very blatantly shown the enemy JG you don't know how to protect yourself from ganks, so yes, they're gonna take advantage of that in a big way.

All you usually have to do is hard shut down the enemies 1st gank where it feels like they did nothing but waste their time, and they probably won't come back even if you start playing stupid. But the second you reveal a weakness in your game that makes you an easy gank, they will take it over and over, that has nothing to do with your JG, that's YOU, and generally, your JG would be stupid to gank into that lane.
