When your Jungler straight up says, "I'm not ganking your lane."

What are you supposed to do? Mind you, we won the game, and I didn't feed, so don't just sit there and start calling me a noob for not turret sitting.

Our Udyr profusely refused to gank my lane because he didn't want to chase Katarina around all the while he was roaming the enemy jg while being chased down by a Pantheon and a Sejuani... (Half the time he died he fed my Katarina)

I went 2/2/2 by the time they surrendered, but Kata had 8 kills, 7 of which weren't on me. (3 of which were on Udyr)

I mean come one.. even though he didn't come to my lane to gank he STILL fed my laner, then denied any help because he simply doesn't want to go chasing her around.... I mean come on now, I'm Anivia- if he just lands a stupid bear smack I can further the stun with my Q then combo it into an E > R while he could've swapped to tiger or phoenix stance and ate her.

tl;dr Udyr fed my laner without coming to lane then didn't wanna help with the mess he made causing me to have a difficult time to game.

P.S. Udyr went 0/3/5

The particular jungler in that one game doesn't really matter, what you should be focusing on is the act of abandoning a lane. This can be done for any number of reasons, however it usually happens if the jungler does not feel they can make a successful impact on the lane or if the lane is already completely snowballing, and so it's just about a full waste of time.

Abandoning a lane is a legitimate strategy. Your jungler on that particular game wasn't doing a great job, however that does not show that the strategy is bad or wrong. The tone of your post makes it sound as if you just want to blow off steam because of a team member you didn't see eye to eye with, and that's understandable, just make sure you don't throw anything else under the bus with him.

It may not be relevant...but no one on your team purchased a single ward, ganking without vision is risky.

I can't speak about this game, but from experience I can say that Katarina is one of the hardest champs to gank especially if she is warding properly.

And there are sometimes legitimate reasons to not gank a lane. I've had games where I never get up to the top lane. It happens when control of dragon is contested often and the few times I'm in that half of the jungle there just isn't a good gank setup.

Heck, I had one game where I said. "I'll clear this camp and come help gank top."
My top laner said "OK." and just after that the announcer is saying. "An Enemy has been slain."
I look over at the portrait and my top laner had just gotten a kill. I'm like. "Or I'm not ganking top. Bot, I'll be there in 30 seconds."

However, for your post. It doesn't sound great for Udyr. He should at the very least make an appearance in lane to help take some pressure off of you, or give you his blue as you need the mana. It sounds like he wasn't much of a team player though.

Sit under turret and farm. Lol when I first got trundle I went up against a GP, had a terrible start and at 10 mins it was like 40 cs to like 75, I knew he would eventually make mistakes so I waited for him to Q me, It didnt crit, and so I trapped him and bashed his damn head in and caught back up gold-wise and farmed while he was dead. They're gonna make mistakes, theyre gonna leave lane to roam, they're gonna let you catch up in an attempt to "carry." Just wait on it and capitalize. Sorry that happened to you.

It's really understandable.

As a jungler main, I don't really gank Heimer cuz his turrets are annoying. I don't gank Akali unless I have a pink or she used her shroud already, cuz there really isn't a point (post 6)

I don't gank Ahri post 6 unless her Ult is on CD.

Lot of reasons not to gank a champion.
