What do you do if your jungler just flat out tells you "I'm not ganking"
Just had a game where my jungler refused to gank. I kept the wave frozen in front of my tower for ten minutes, saved my stun, pinged for assistance, and he literally told me "Just farm, I'm not ganking".
It's like, it's Heimerdinger. I physically can't beat Heimerdinger in lane. Constantly shoving people under tower and beating them in lane is what he does. He's one of those champions that needs to be ganked in order to set him behind because he's immobile and constantly pushed up.
What do you in this situation? I've done everything I possibly can to bring my jungler into the lane against an enemy who is weak to ganks, and he refuses to come. I can't just muscle through him, he'll beat me. And I can't just sit under tower and farm, he'll poke me out, and I can't roam, ward, or help with jungle skirmishes when I'm shoved under the tower.
Now some games we get absolutely stomped because my idiot ADC never stops pushing.
But when that happens I don't want our jungler coming down to try and save the lane. That's putting the real carry of the early game, the jungler at risk.
I'd rather he's somewhere else getting his farm or snowballing mid or sneaking in drakes while his opponent's attending the free buffet.
Damage is high enough in this meta that one of the other lanes can effectively be our damage. We don't really need a marksman so long as the other lanes go well enough. Just a front line, my ult, and at least one champion who didn't get stomped to deal damage.
There's occasionally times when I want a gank, like when we've won lane and their mid and jg are camping bot to try and hold back the snowball, but that's if I think we can break them. Otherwise it's still "be somewhere else, get anything else".
