I'm just going to start playing random ass champions when I just

A little back story: I've played this game for almost a year and a half (around Yasuo release/Lunar Revel last year). I've mained jungle ever since February 2014, so only a couple months after I found this game, and only a few weeks after I really started playing. After about a month, I started just playing top and mid because whenever I jungled I constantly got flamed for little to no reason. This was around levels 10-20. Looking back on it, I was probably dealing with D-bags on smurfs.

Now, I still main jungle. There's been tough times, sure (Release FF, huge waves of Kha'Zix [my main] nerfs, etc.) but there's been good times too, like Quill Coat, new smites, etc... So anyways, I'm just tired of it all.

All this god damn flaming. I was playing early when I was with 3 of my friends, and then on random guy, who was playing Vayne. Anyways, we were doing dragon around 10ish minutes it. Keep in mind, both junglers and bot lanes are around level 7-8. I'm getting low. I say "Vayne tank so I don't die before I can smite." Next thing I get know I'm around 300 hp, get hit by a Lee Sin Q, see him coming into the pit and try to smite just before so we hopefully can get it and the enemy Leona support happens to get it with her ult. Now, my friends and I (4 people, everyone except Vayne) just kinda shrugged it off. Oh well, it's a normal game and we're just having fun. The next 10 minutes this Vayne will not shut the hell up about them getting it. Every five seconds "We're losing because that dragon." "/all what's it like actually having a jungler without downs?" "/all Jungler so useless"

Ok, I just ignore them (I try to mute my team unless extreme cases so if they time a summoner spell or something I don't miss it). Seriously, this guy just own't shut the fuck up. About 30 minutes of that shit, I finally snap, start typing in all caps how he isn't being useful, he's annoying, telling him to shut the fuck up, the whole flame. That got him to shut up.

We won that game by the way. I ended 5/1/14 on Hecarim, our Kat ended up getting a Penta, then in another fight shortly after we fought 4v5 while Vayne was bot lane and aced them and they surrendered. Either way, I'm baffled that the only way to get this dick to shut up was by flaming him back. My friends tried to tell him to hush, the enemy even told him to calm down. But these people only care about flaming.

I'm sick of it. I could be 19/0/32 and still get flamed for being the only reason we lost. I could play AP Zed jungle and probably get flamed less than half my games. I couldn't imagine being a new player who wan't to play jungle, especially seeing how the jungle itself is harder than it was season 4.

This question specifically I want to go to ADCs and top laners, and especially ADCs, because they are the ones who flame me most often when I jungle (yes, I know not everyone is like that, I've had every role flame me, but I find ADCs do it way more than other roles and top laners do also), why the fuck do you guys seem to always hate your jungler? You constantly flame, and bitch, take camps, take buffs, you're never happy. If they get the kill, they get flamed. If they get an assist, they get flamed for taxing. There is no pleasing some people.

I seriously hate playing this game now because unless I get a 5 man I'm almost guaranteed to get flamed if I jungle.

I joined back when Jinx got released. I know how you feel about being flamed. I am a top-lane mainer who plays full AD Garen. My team would yell at me and threaten to report me if I didn't go tank, but honestly I do 10x worse playing by the meta.

You know, I even carry some games as full AD Garen and I got the respect that I deserve, but I didn't care about it because it came from the jerks who called me a loser at the beginning of the match. So I told them to go fuck themselves.

But looking back at your thread, you said it yourself: "This was around levels 10-20. Looking back on it, I was probably dealing with D-bags on smurfs." _ Every five seconds "We're losing because that dragon." "/all what's it like actually having a jungler without downs?" "/all Jungler so useless"_

There is no pleasing some people.

I'll be cold with you, why do you need to get these guys' respect? Why bother to earn respect from sensitive losers who blame everybody else other than themselves? What do you earn from this? In real life, it's just not fucking worth it. They suck. So next time if they flame at you for something that is NOT reasonable, don't bother trying to convince them to stop, because it shouldn't matter coming from people like them. Use your own judgement if it's your own fault or not, then it'll be easier to ignore the flamers.

I am still trying to learn to shrug off the flamers, too. It hurts even if I don't want to admit it.

The best and the most important thing is to take a good break from League. Play another online game or take a nap. Then when you get back on you might meet some cool teammates and might be possibly wrong about always being flamed in the jungle. It happened to me too, we all have bad games sometimes, or even a lot of times.

Hold on tight man, it'll either pass or you'll switch to another enjoyable game instead of League. Good luck.

As a mid main, I occasionally have to go into other lanes during ranked. And when I do, it feels like I'm always a bit more toxic- and not because I'm not getting my main role (because I love playing Shen and Draven)- but because as top I'm constantly getting camped by their jungler, or as ADC I see the mid laner dying and feeding their assassin that I know is going to end up roaming and killing me, or the other laner is just genuinely better and I need help from my jungler- but they never come. There's reasons the side lanes are toxic. I'm not saying it's an excuse, but as a mid laner, I know why they are.

Cheers, a Talon main :)

Way too many people in this game don't understand the Jungler's job, and what it's like to be a junlger. That Vayne has probably never jungled in her life, and probably would dodge of she had to. Most people forget a few things about junglers:

  1. Missing smite, though very bad, happens under pressure. It's not a big deal. Objectives are important, but it's not the end of the game if you lose your first dragon or you get out-smited
  2. Smite does true damage BASED ON YOUR LEVEL. This means that if the enemy Jungler is a higher level, it does more damage! :O
  3. You are not obligated to gank for any one player. You do what you think is best for the team, and if someone on the team can't handle that, then tell them to chill out and explain it to them. Did they feed their lane so bad you wouldn't touch the enemy with an 39 and a half foot barge pole? Probably not the best lane to gank for.

Trust me, supports have it easy; the junglers get the real verbal abuse.
