Please Respect your Jungler

Jungling is not like laning, where your primary focus is trying to farm while dealing with the enemy in front of you. Junglers have to farm, ward, clear wards, counter jungle, counter gank, gank, control drag and rift, control scuttle, and try to keep track of the enemy jungler.

If your jungler offers his/her time to gank your lane and succeeds, he/she deserves a thank you. Because there is a ton of stuff we have to do and not a lot of time to do it.

On the other hand, if you are over extended, have no kill potential, and are rudely harassing your jungler for a gank, sorry gurl. You're gonna have to deal with that fed Riven yourself.

If jungler doesn't gank help when i need he's not good IF: -He's not making other lanes win (ok he can't help all lanes) -He's not controlling dragons -He's not stealing enemy jungle

If a jungler just stay in our jungle and farm,even if warding and clearing wards...i don't think he's doing a good job

Controlling dragon is hard sometimes. Since it's becoming more and more common to be a 5 man team fight every game (Outside of a sneak). Stealing enemy jungle just requires knowledge on where the other jungler is and should be done while the other jungler is top side ganking that 0/5/0 laner that fed first blood at 3 minutes in (or do a dragon). As far making other lanes win there are a lot of times where there just isn't enough vision or placement is improper for ganks. Not to mention there are many junglers that actually do get more benefit out of afk farming (Sated Yi, Shyvana, Udyr, etc)

When i'm top and i'm always ganked and i see our jungler tha tinstead of doing dragon does raptors or golem...i'm not very happy. He can even invade and steal blu/gromp/wolves..but no. he just farm our jungle

The problem is that if i'm losing because of ganks (or even not) you can help me when i'm 0/1..if you wait i'm 0/3 it's useless and then all other starts flaming "gj mid..feeding" "follow your laner"...sure because if i follow him he just meet me in the river and 1v1 me....and i die again. So i understand someone can't help..but it's his choice so don't complain if lose hard then.

That ssaid there mare many jungler that doesn't know when to gank. Let's say i'm under tower (good moment to gank when enemy is pushing) but i have a big double way to farm,jungler comes.....i don't move. i get more gold from farming minions and it's guaranteed we kill the enemy. Or yesterday i had a WW in my team...i was losing 0/1 Anivia vs Jayce. He came once (after 6) and used his ulti just after i had used my ulti and Q....he complained i ask for ganks and i did nothing. What can i do??? Anivia auto attack?

As a JG the biggest issue I have is people that get mad they got ganked / died and then when you look they are sitting on 2 wards in there inventory and they died while being pushed out towards the enemy tower. You did not get ganked you pushed with no vision and got caught out. The enemy team did not outplay you and gank you, you made a mistake and had no vision and blindly pushed and handed them a kill. A gank for me is the enemy jg going around your wards, waiting for the wave to push just right , coordinating with there team mate and then jumping in and trying to take you out. An enemy JG that can just run up with no care in the world and get to you virtually undetected while running right at you and just laying you out is not ganking IMO it's just taking advantage of bad play!

The worst feeling as a jg is clearing your JG and while you clear it you hear bot lane dead and then soon after top lane dead... you now have 0 chance to counter JG as both top and bot can peel in and you most probably no longer have vision of there JG. Hard to counter jungle when the enemy team can peel in and have a numbers advantage fast. Even worst is a team member close to you when inthe JG and they don't pinch in to help you get a kill... like laners want JG to gank and help them and pay attention to the minimap to see where they can gank but then totally ignore when they can pinch in and help the JG in the jungle!
