Why Junglers? Just... why?

So we have a good chance to take first dragon. Mid, Jungle, Support and ADC are free. I ping dragon. They start going in. I start attacking it, putting down seeds as Zyra. Kayn aborts, bot then aborts and then mid aborts. I'm forced to abort a dragon at half-health; both me and it. I then type to the jungler. Sup: "The enemy team is going to steal it now. Why didn't you come?" Jungle: "I said no." Sup:"Well we lost it now." Jungle:"Ohh I'm scared." Mid:"Swiper no swiping." Jungle:"Snickers." Enemy team takes Mountain Drake Jungler:"Oh shit." Sup:"Fucking idiot."

Jungle then proceeded to ignore all times support warded and pinged for dragon. Or when others did it. Jungler lost three dragons in a row. I solo'ed the next one by myself and claimed it. Because if we want a dragon. I'm gonna have to solo take it as a support. Then Jungler proceeded to lose two barons in a row and an elder dragon.

And when I mean lose. I mean like they weren't even close to contesting it. Like they are looking for a hand-job in the opposite quadrant. Completely unaware of enemies missing, and where they just might be.

I honestly don't give one fuck about ganks or your kill potential as a jungler. I can do without them. I'm a kill support.

Just get the simple objectives that are in your role. Get them dragons and heralds. That's what I judge a jungler on.

Some dragons aren't that useful. Some junglers need more kills to get themselves snowballed faster because of the jungle XP changes. In this meta jungler's kill potential matters. The level 6 advancement for junglers is now ganking a kill, not taking dragon. I've won plenty of games where jungle didn't give one shit about dragons and still easily contributed to the team by ganking lanes and having a powerful map presence. Now with all that said: junglers should always contest mountain and infernal.

(Also very few junglers can solo Herald without assistance)

Junglers don't care what some low elo mage support thinks
