I try to play jungle but almost EVERY GAME I do, every single lane gets destroyed. Is it me?

I play a lot of Udyr and Voli jungle, and when I do I feel like I have to get about 15 kills by the 25 minute mark or the game is going to be completely over everytime. I just played a game where I had Vlad top vs. Renekton. I ganked early for the Vlad and we got first blood, I had to take the kill because he Renek flashed and would have got away if I didn't. The second time, same thing. Vlad ends up 1-7-3. I got early dragon, gave buffs, started to build tanky.

Mid lane Jayce vs. Malzahar. Over half the game Jayce isn't in lane because he attempts fail roam ganks. He ends up 1-3 after laning phase and he fights 1v4 bot after I ran away with 10% health and says "bad jungle." Our CC was extremely lackluster and it was either up to me to stun malzahar during his ult, or jayce to knock him back off of it. The entire game Jayce never lands a shot on this Malzahar and he goes 12-0. Every single fight Malz ults me while my backline gets destroyed.

Bot lane Corki did okay was like 6-4 but no matter how much time I spent stunning everyone on him I would just get ulted and he would be dead before I got out. He actually did win lane which is RARE when I jungle. Every single game every lane loses. I feel like if I could just get one solid player in mid or bottom lane that I could win most games. Should I just not jungle?

I'll make this as plain as I can, I main jungle and when picking champs there's usually one of two methods you take:

1.) You pick a highly aggressive early jungler, lee, rek, j4, shaco, etc. someone who excels early game and can easily camp and snowball a lane.

2.) You pick a high impact late game jungler, WW, Yi, Udyr, etc. someone who doesn't do too well ganking early but grows in power the longer the game lasts.

Now depending on your play style, given the champs you listed, voli and udyr, one (voli) is great at early pressure and early ganks and should be played more gank orientated early, the second (Udyr) depending on build is mainly farm heavy then stomp mid game. Now that aside when jungling you MUST have map awareness. I main WW and his ganks early are terrible, but I still get kills pre 6 and pressure pre 6 by watching for early pressure, watching for over extensions, and sometimes just getting lucky. People love to blame junglers but you have to make opportunities for yourself. My suggestion is start to focus on two champs, one early pressure champ like lee and one late game like WW. Learn how they can gank, and learn what opportunities you can exploit. By forcing yourself to play one highly aggressive early game ganker, and one late game farm heavy champ I think it will help you understand the jungle better.

Good luck and just remember, junglers are opportunists, you have to always keep your eye on the mini map.

I got to plat playing tiger udyr for easy solo kills but mostly mid annie. I found that when I got to plat though the Tiger Udyr isn't working as much because whereas people used to just sit in their lane and farm while I solo people, I find that it's my team who sits there and watches while their team reacts. Early game usually consists of Warrior into TF for pretty insane early to mid game damage if they don't stack armor. So until I get that 3rd or 4th item I'm pretty much squish. I think I need to go back to running my Annie mid which I just went 17-2 on. Maybe just not cut out to be a jungler when people feed.
