People Who Complain About Jungles

I like to play jungle a lot. I main Vi in the jungle. I have seen just about all there is to see when it comes to playing this role, it's stressful. And the jungle usually takes a huge amount of blame for everything and anything. The thing that irks me the most is those who complain about a jungle KS'ing. I understand your frustration if it's a constant issue. However, I have found that when I take some kills from my ganks I tend to remain a powerhouse all game and not some support. Then, in other games where I give my lanes close to every single kill they usually get cocky in lane and throw the late game. You shouldn't rely on your jungle to win lane for you, if we take a kill here and there, just know we put as much effort into the kill as you do. We are not here to baby you, you are going to need to put in work and remain relatively safe and get yourself some kills. If you just so happen to lose lane, the jungle is there to give you a boost to help you comeback. How can you expect to grow as a player if you have Daddy Jungle carrying your lane in a majority of your games?

Not a rage post, just food for thought. Hope I got my point through.

It is extremely frustrating when you are getting out snowballed hard in farm with a bad match-up and your jungler walks up to top, hits the kill one or two times, gets it, then either takes farm from you trying to push the wave or in general just pushing it even if you tell him not to.

that is why junglers get blamed in the majority of games, some act like captains of everyone's lane.

What I read: "Don't be mad when the jungle gets the kills and farm in your lane, but don't expect them to use that advantage to help you, either".

The reason the jungler takes a huge amount of blame is because who wins laning phase, assuming equal skill, is going to depend upon how the jungler acts. There's a lot you can choose to do, and therefore a much greater margin of error. Even if we're winning lane (eg, the skill level isn't equal), if they have a better jungler we can still lose lane. Just because you didn't technically lose a lane doesn't mean it's not your fault we lost. You didn't react as well as the enemy jungler, and the team suffers because of it.

Though I do agree that blaming the jungle for losing a lane in chat is bs. You can 1v2 successfully by just camping tower and farming. Is it fun or rewarding? No. But it's what you need to do until someone from the team is willing to help you. Raging at the jungler just isn't acceptable, even if it is the jungler's fault.

I see where you are going. Obviously if your losing lane, I will help you for sure. Just that when I help a lane like that, they get one kill and think they are Rambo and begin to mess up even more then complain about us even more. After I gank for you, keep cool and play smart.
