PSA to junglers: It's extremely demoralizing when you do not gank summoner-less lanes

By not ganking, for instance, a flashless mid laner, you are signalling to the opponent that they do not have to respect your presence as a jungler. They aren't disrespecting me by playing like an idiot without flash, they're disrespecting you as a jungler and your ability to punish them. I play jungle a lot too, so I can understand not wanting to waste time by ganking a lane, but by not 'scaring' the enemy into respecting you you are also hurting your own laner because they don't think you're going to help them. So basically by not ganking them, you're giving the opponent a morale boost because your a stress they can now check off the list.

Make your presence as a jungler known! Your camps are only there to get you through the game, like minions are for laners. Ganking lanes will strike fear into your opponents, much like stealing camps can tilt your enemy jungler. It's incredibly annoying as a laner to feel like you're getting camped by the jungler and it makes you think twice about even trading against your opponent in lane.

As a jungler, you have your jungle as your 'lane' for farming but in reality they are ALL your lanes! Make your opponents fear you as a jungler and punish lanes when they are playing aggressively without sums.

It's especially bothersome when my enemy midlaner without summoners and low mobility is at half life and my jungler would rather do raptors instead of getting a free kill.

You could gank the lane without summoners but the other jg would be expecting that. Gank another lane to try & lure the jg there then go to the lane without summoners
