When top and bot are constantly demanding ganks from level 3 https://31.media.tumblr.com/2c6924422bbac16daa2f329c60bc5fc7/tumblr_inline_nbtkqv8fiF1sy5lwu.gif

When you try to gank only to find bot lane extended as far as possible and now I can't http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x253/xxraddyxx/Animinations/tumblr_m4we52ijbx1r2zs34.gif

When Jinx and Lux both die bot, right in front of the enemy turret, and blame me http://i963.photobucket.com/albums/ae115/rileyhays217/GIFS/corymakeitstop.gif

When my Yasuo mid overextends and gets killed by a turret.. twice.. http://38.media.tumblr.com/1c6eb23659b6e98fe9aa98868e143a95/tumblr_mqvnjvDA7T1redq9ho3_500.gif

When I go back to farming and top is at full health, and thirty seconds later Shen gets killed by Gnar and rages at me http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-saPfcvC2SfA/UmgHqMbrDpI/AAAAAAAABjI/nWaZkambzqk/s1600/Crying-and-Knowing-I-Should-Hate-You.gif

When I'm finally 6 (as Skarner) and I go to gank bot again, only to realize Kalista has 6 kills and Thresh has 3... they blamed me http://prettyfrugal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/cant-do-this-anymore.gif

When top and mid give the enemy Yasuo and Gnar 2 more kills and then rage that "I am a terrible jungler" (I was at bot) http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Q6t4Y9CxJZU/US5-m7Bx40I/AAAAAAAAAKc/IayMWygbiwI/s1600/cmt-medium.gif

Later on when Lux and Jinx die again right before a gank and insist that I go finish off an 8/1/3 Kalista and 2/1/7 Thresh (with ulti up) http://s1.scoopwhoop.com/WEIGHT/WEIGHT/L2.gif

When a full health Shen and Yasuo abandon me vs fed Yi so they can go after a full health mega-gnar.. they were 20 ft away and I pinged.. and exhausted.. and ulti'd https://31.media.tumblr.com/660dc93c3e4900fdafa77ec56ff79224/tumblr_inline_myyv2zOaNW1rsvpuc.gif

When I'm 1/5/2 and STILL have the best score on my team.. yet they all unanimously blame me http://grumpyllama.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/does-not-get-it.gif

When in the post-game lobby Shen tells me "Skarner go kill yourself" https://p.gr-assets.com/540x540/fit/hostedimages/1388426074/7832459.gif

Aaaannndddd that douchenozzle got reported.


Explain in memes if possible, but was I really to blame for that clusterfuck? If so, how? If not, how would you have handled it?

How to win LOL:

  1. make first clear
  2. gank a lane
  3. gank it again
  4. gank it until the enemy laner starts blaming their jungler
  5. gank until either the mid or jungler goes afk
  6. win

I can confirm that this works, volibear, udyr, and hecarim are fantastic picks for this strategy.

insaiyanbacca2 votes

unfortunately with the new jungle its pretty hard to finish your first clear as hecarim above 50% hp

I have actually had worse than that on occasion. its those fun games when they have either a duo q or someone who really wants their top laner fed and they are top lane almost all game long. I once had a game where their j4 literally took his buffs then went straight top lane and stayed there. all game. if I was at lane so was he. I was sad

Kowe The Ewok1 votes

Played Heimerdinger a while back, I got severely camped by a jungle Twitch, but never died. He ganked me 6 times within the first 6 minutes. ( I had a chat with him after the game and told him I only noticed him 6 times during the first 8 minutes, not 6, but apparently he was camping in my bush). He just lost so many levels....

While it was horribly annoying (we had a wannabe-Trick2G afk farm udyr with no ganks at all) it lost them the game. Camping a lane can work out, but especially with the new jungle you're becomming absolutely useless if you haven't succeded after your 3rd attempt.

Best way to win is to make the enemy team blame their jungler before your team blames you.

NightEfx1 votes

lmfao i like this idea haha

Unidad20 votes

That feel when the one lane you haven't ganked for starts harassing you for not ganking, when in fact you did gank; just other lanes. I feel like I shouldn't have to explain to people that there exist 2 other lanes. Nah, as a jungler I'm expected to have pulled off at least 1 very successful gank on each lane before I'm even 6. Yep...

D8zq2hRox91 votes

no, your job as a jungler is to afk farm while your team 4v5's for the first 10 minutes of the game. If anyone feeds, then that time is doubled. Cause jungling shouldnt ever require you to actually help your team. ohwait...

if any lane is bitching that you haven't ganked for them, EVEN IF YOU PULLED A FAIL GANK, then you aren't doing your job. camping a fully extended lane? ward it, farm nearby camps and watch for counter gank. Pulled 2 great ganks in a row on 2 lanes but leaving bot lane to die for 20 mins? Either get your shit together and do your job, or just be sure the other lanes can compensate for a fed enemy adc.

You can bitch and moan about your lanes not being LCS material, but at the end of the day since your not in LCS it's entirely your job no matter how far behind you are to unfuck any lane that isn't doing well. If you dont, you cant complain about lanes failing, because there was plenty you could do to prevent it.

oh look, another braindead afk jungler who whines about how he's not being carried hard enough by a team that has to 4v5 for 20 minutes.

MarhsallLee673 votes

I don't think somebody who doesn't have the good sense to put attack damage runes on their adc rune page should dictate exactly what a jungler's job is.

D8zq2hRox91 votes

nice photoshop skills. clearly your mastery of an unrelated program makes you the jungle master....ohwait....

I had a fun one like this with a Nidalee top not too long ago. Got my JinxLeona fed, got a couple kills mid, everything was swell.

Except this Nidalee , who despite having potentially the best kit for evasion and survivability in the game, managed to feed a Viktor. To be fair, the Viktor got two ganks in 20 minutes. But this Nid was acting like I could have done anything for her lane by ganking.

Because RammusNidalee 'wombo' versus a towerhugging Viktor is, obviously, an easy kill. And Nidalee is totes a harder carry than Jinx or Zed.

Might as well leave my best jungling story here with the others:

JarvanIV : Why's Vlad just sitting under his turret? Afk? Vladimir sits under turret Nidalee freefarms to level 3 Vladimir : Oh hey guys didn't hear the game start. tries to farm normally in the middle of the lane An Ally has been slain Vladimir : "Wtf why no gank?" Nautilus gives bot double kill Vladimir teleports back to lane An ally has been slain Vladimir : "Gank now or I'm afk!" Nautilus : "She's got 3 levels on you, and you're Vlad, and she's Nid. And she's freezing. Just get what farm you can our botlane are gods." Nautilus Gives bot another double kill An ally has been slain Nami : "Vlad lane swap with us. Their bot is even more behind than you." Vladimir : "No this stupid jungler needs to gank" Nautilus : "I'd really rather not make you worth gold again. I already gave you a dragon" An ally has been slain Lucian : "Nami I got this go support Vlad." Vladimir : "No get out of my lane noob" charges into Nid's tower and dies Lucian Gets double kill 1v2 Nami : "We're far enough ahead we can start pushing 4v5. Vlad, go farm bot." Vladimir : "No I don't want this stupid jungler to win" 20 minutes of us slowly winning 4v5 while Vlad buys mobos and zeals and charges down mid lane, raging all the while Lucian : "Vlad at least farm the side lanes..." enemy team eventually groups hard and wins Vladimir : "Stupid jungler..." xxWhinyChildishNamexx has sent you a friend request

That's why I mute everyone right from the start.

And no, I don't think it's your fault.

I think it's perfectly fine. If they wanted to keep the lines of communication open they could have, you know, not poisoned them in the first place.

Edit: whoops you guys are right.

Hyrum Graff5 votes

>I mute everyone right from the start >Beore they had a chance to poison lines of communication.

I don't think BetaDude had a problem with muting, period; just with muting before you even know if they're toxic.

Personally, I mute the second someone the second they give an indication that they're going to be toxic (which sometimes includes the pregame lobby), but not a second before.

He's saying he mutes everyone from the beginning even if they didn't do anything.

Yea, i hate to do it, but thats when i mute everyone. They are all clearly retarded and no amount of communication/logic/advice can cure them of stupidity. You can't fix stupid.

I love when I am jungling and somebody pings for assistance, so I go to gank, ping my entrance 5 times to save myself typing out something.. and they retreat to turret as I am rambo status 2v1. Then they complain about no ganks and feeding.

Well it might be a problem with pinging too much. If you don't type anything and you spam ping near them they might think you're trying to warn them about something and retreat to safety. Plus spamming ping too much can kind of obscure the map so they can't even see what you're potentially warning them about, so they just assume its bad/panic and leave.

I might be wrong, but either way spamming ping doesn't help, once should be enough. And if your team doesn't seem aware of your intentions or something it might help to type something like get ready for gank bot, just so there's no misunderstandings.

Or they might be retreating to lure the enemy away from their turret so you can come from the back and trap them and they didn't expect you to come out right away. Just saying.

Ternt1 votes

I ping "incoming" on top of the opponent. So it's hard to miss. Unless they're just not looking at them at all. It's one of those things that works with certain people, but not with others.

FiendOfOne3 votes

I've come to this conclusion (as a jungle main):

If you lose the game, it is either the jungler's or support's fault.

If you win, the carries were AWESOME.

Junglers/supports: Unsung heroes.

DragonShea2 votes

Shit happens bro. I also hate when I have to deal with this. there is little you can do to stop people playing like noobs. It's part of the game and hopefully. they will get their just deserts for being douches.

Nowadays when I play I play for fun, in two ways. one is the typical I want to enjoy myself and all. And two is my LMFAO at the stupidity of noobs and I am like: Not my lose, you play to win and you suffer for it. noob

Just Ignore all the troll and loser in the game and enjoy playing with the players that are competent. But is easier said than done and something even I do get mad of the shit ppl

I was in a noob team today and I muted them cuz I wasn't happy that I wasn't on my A-game and that can happen. I worst thing in the match was that I ult'ed Darius as Braum and the rest of the team didn't use the oppertunity I gave them to give him hell and I died taking a risk to give them an opening and when we were invading my jungle and pushing top lane, my warrick left me to die when he could have killed two or all three champs attacking me.

that said the best way to know if a player is good is how well any adopt to the mindset of others. Anyone else would just be running around like headless chickens.

This is my problems sometimes when I go jg,EVERYONE asking for a freaking gank when I'm only level 3 (which is why I love Rammus). I'm trying to get some practice at the role that is the most trouble for me & people aren't.I want to farm for a bit,but no I have to go from ganking bot to ganking top.Then there the times I want to gank but the enemy is under their turret (please,how am I suppose to gank that)

People,the jg is not suppose to win your lane for you.They can get you ahead or help you out,but they can't focus on your lane. And if you want them to gank,make opportunities for them.This could be burning the enemy spells or abilities,not pushing them to their turret (btw,you should then watch for being ganked yourself) & not feed the enemy or the jg will be a free kill if they were to gank. And if you're constantly getting ganked yourself,the freaking ward so your other teammates can know where their jg is.

This is not specifically true. A jungler cannot gank constantly. Its pretty much impossible and everyone knows this. However ganking a losing lane is never the right option. You CAN focus on ganking one lane if the other 2 lanes are doing bad. I'm not saying don't gank the other lanes. You should be trying to get one lane fed enough to compensate for the other two losing lanes. In general this is botlane, because of the adc and the fact that its 2 players. However if you have a snowbally mid laner or top laner you can gank those lanes in excess. ESPECIALLY, if the other lanes are doing bad.

From what I can tell, the match was:

Shen Skarner(OP) Yasuo Jinx Lux

VS.

Gnar Yi Yasuo Kalista Thresh

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yes it was, their jungler was the Yi. Why?

The new jungle just made it worse. So many ignorant douches are around who start flaming if you don't lvl 3 gank top, even if you politely try to explain that MANY junglers use far too much health to do so.

And that not-ganking a Riven at top with a 1/3 health Wukong prolly is better for him than attempting to do so.

While I do like the crab since have gone worse. Zed's kill it in an instant and roam freely: And while your midlaner afk-farms you're supposed to gank top, mid and bot for 2 while your clear has horribly worsened. Hell, I think I had an enemy Zed in my last 8 matches each.

No. First to rules of the summoners code:

  1. It is never your fault.

Pre 6 bot lane gank with Skarner . I feel you brother. You must understand that they are cardboard 5 if they don't understand how Skarner jungle possibly can gank bot lane pre 6 and not die.
