TO ALL JUNGLERS OUT THERE
So i am a jungle main, i also like to ADC and sometimes MID. I have come to conclusion that there is one GOLDEN rune for a jungler... The rule is to respect your laners and never do anything without their approoval. When i don't jungle and i play in lane, i hate how some junglers will show up to ruin my plans. People have plans of how they want to manage their lane, plans that they can't explain to the team cause it would take hours explaining it's not effcient. When my jungler shows it almost certainly throws me off my plans and could literaly ruin my laning phase.
Just because i am low, it doesn't mean i need your help, sure you can stick around in case i die, you can pick up the kill after, but don't actually visit the lane without my approoval. Showing up in lane makes calm enemies more alert, it doesn't let them overextend and it makes them gank ready. Also dying to an enemy who is left low on HP and who stays in the lane and doesn't recal, could be an easy way for me to come bakc from behind them and pick the kill, which will even out the difference. So unless i tell you to do it, stay away from my lane. Also many junglers forget that especially solo lanes have way more exp, during the early phases of the game the enemy laner could be up to 3 lvls ahead of a jungler, during mid laning phase up to two levels ahead, this gives them a huge advantage in a 1 v 1even if they haven't visited the shop to buy items. This means that every time you show up to kill a top laner or a mid laner, you have a huge chance of getting yourself killed. Even a half hp top laner could easily kill a full hp jungler who is two levels down.
There is no worse that feeding an extra 300 gold to my lane opponent, if they are behind me, they close the gap, if they are even, you give them the advantage and if they are ahead, you make it impossible for me to comeback to the lane. Also many junglers will consider a kill exchange with a laner to be a success, but the truth the kill only made you stronger, but you won't be the one in the lane the whole time to deal with them, i will be. There are also some champions like fizz, kata,darius,riven,draven,leblank ect. who can snowball that one kill so hard since their scaling and dmg is incredible, so feeding a kill to a fizz, will ruin my day in lane with him.
Now i know that many junglers count on ganks and count on feeding themselves to win, however i am saying what is best for your lanes. You can chose to have a weak lane, but this will only work against you. Ping before you visit a lane and if you receive a negative response, just don't do it. I am sure there are plenty of ganking opportunities around the map for you but always remember most people have a plan, this plan can be ruined with your interference, so respect that and giving kills to your laners will do more good than harm, you will allow them to have an easier time and way less chances of feeding.
