junglers gank when they think they can get a kill/assist, and when they are in the right place in there clear. Asking for ganks has little effect on this decision making unless it is pointing out an opportunity for a kill. A jungler shouldnt gank just because you asked, because time is the most important resource for a jungler.

You were playing Rengar top and you had a Graves jungle.

  1. How are you supposed to lock down Olaf to actually kill him?
  2. How are you supposed to stop him from healing up on the Krugs after the gank?
  3. How behind were you when you started asking for ganks (because Olaf is a champion who can easily turn a gank into a double kill when ahead)?

Besides, considering your Bottom Lane and Mid Lane lost too, he probably had other concerns.

You should have stopped building damage when you were losing and transitioned to a defensive item to survive.

Seriously, a Ravenous Hydra is not going to help you survive against someone who can zone your from minions (or outright kill you when you approach them). You probably should have stopped building that and transitioned to a Sunfire Cape or Titanic Hydra to survive laning phase.

At the very least, you should have gotten Ninja Tabi and some health.

Junglers arent there just to cater to the laners. Just because you were losing doesnt mean that he is obligated to help you

Junglers aren't meant to win your lane for you, they can add pressure and gank when they feel like it, they have their own priorities and it sickens me that people think its the junglers fault for not ganking and the supports for not warding, anyone can buy and use wards, stop blaming supports and junglers for your problems.

Honestly ganking losing lanes is a waste of time, if I saw my top lane squishy getting rekt by an olaf I wouldn't gank either.

If he came top olaf would either double kill you, pop ult and run away wasting the junglers time, or at best trade 1 for 1. All negative scenarios.

Your jungler actually made the smart move of not ganking a feeder. Logically it makes no sense to gank a losing lane unless the kill is guaranteed, which was not the case here.
