When behind, especially in the jungle, I strongly advise building some armor or mr to counter the fed person on the other team. Take for instance the Rengar above. No reason he should be 2-6, I think he was, and jumping into a fed Aatrox , Ashe , and Jax. He seemed so angry at the end when I was trying to advise him nicely for his next game that if behind he should build a bit of resistance. Rengar has enough early game damage that a completed jungle item can suffice for one resistance item. Shoot, as you can see, I, the Aatrox , built item 3260 as soon as I saw the Vayne kill both Ashe and Thresh . Got to keep situational awareness about ya. What's worse is he kept building damage even though he ended up being 3-10 I think he was? He was worthless in teamfights because a couple of Ashe autos and he was gone, and that was if noone else touched him. I am thankful for this win but I feel that we may have some junglers in the silver and bronze elo who do not understand how a resistance item in place of a damage item can drastically change the game.

TL;DR Pay attention to the game and buy items accordingly. Don't buy the same thing every time. Be opening to people willing to legitimately give you a helping hand.

It has been rare in the past that I got junglers whose first goal was even to ASSIST the team, when that's almost 90% of what junglers do (either with objective control/ganking, etc...), but rather than trying to help the people who need it, they just "Do what they want" even if it's stupid to make the choices they do, especially in a ranked game... I recently had a jungler who did a PHENOMENAL Job as jungler, who not only controlled objectives well, but completely snowballed my lane when i was doing poorly (with good ganks) because of a forced disconnect. We totally stomped and won the game as a result.

The thing was, he was BRONZE, yet he did an AMAZING job, something comparable to gold-plat. I would say. He just made smart plays, and played with the right mindset (to help the team do well), and even with making small mistakes, his contribution FAR outweighed any mistakes he made and we, like i said earlier, STOMPED that game.

Itemization is important, but junglers actually knowing and doing their job is very important too.
