I swear to God I wish this game never had a jungle.. I am so sick of hearing "It's not the jungles job to gank lanes" YES IT FUCKING IS... That is his damn role.. that is the whole purpose of it... Stop making excuses because you don't want to ever leave jungle or your friend is playing jungle and you want to cover for him. If you haven't ganked a lane in almost 20 minutes you need to quit playing jungle because you don't know how.
Actually, it's not their job to do that. It's their job to control objectives/pressure the enemy.
For example.
I'm playing Udyr. I take early drag. I take both scuttle crabs. I start warding the enemy jungle and stealing their crap. I affected every lane without even walking into them.
I got my team dragon buff. I got them vision. I'm making the enemy jungler fall behind so THEY can't gank you. I'm making your laning opponent leave his lane and miss exp/gold just to help their jungler. I did all that without stepping one foot into the lane.
So no, it's not their job to gank for you. You should be able to handle yourself if you pick a solo lane and you should be able to work with your partner to outfarm the enemy at bot lane. If you get ganked and die you need to ward/play safer/make da plays etc.
I've only been to silverI (granted I stopped ranking because fuk victorious morgana that PoS champ) and I'm well aware of this. You should learn from this im sure you'll do better afterwards
Its so frustrating when someone who doesnt knowbhow to jungle keeps demanding for a ganks
specialy if they died a couple times and stil think your going to gank tp feed the lane even more
Suppose that's true enough. Generally speaking, though, I consider the jungler's job to maintain global pressure.
If your enemies are playing cautiously because they're afraid a gank might be coming, he's doing his job. If he's securing neutral objectives or counter-playing the enemy jungler, he's doing his job. If he's providing vision for your lane as he moves around the map, he's doing his job.
And yes, of course, if he's ganking lanes, he's doing his job as well.
But let's be honest - it doesn't always pay to gank lanes, and there's plenty of other ways to make your presence felt as a jungler.
I once played a game with a Nunu jungle - one of the best I've ever had - that never actually ganked. He would simply stop by lanes as he moved from one thing to the next, throw a snowball at someone, eat a minion, and run away. But he maintained vision everywhere, kept the enemy jungler from doing anything useful, secured every dragon, and kept their whole team terrified.
If a jungler spends all his time ganking, he would fall behind in Jungle CS which would make him weaker. Plus, certain Junglers can't gank until they have either their Ult or a specific item. Plus, if you aren't warding your lane (assuming you don't) then why should the jungler help you at all? The jungler can't just tip-toe into a lane without knowing he is safe to do so.
