Carry harder.

You weren't csing as well as you could have been. You should have had that farm at 25 minutes, not 32.

Here's an example of a 26 minute game I played the last time I was on ranked. I'm by no means perfect but I can at least see some major differences between my game and yours. http://puu.sh/cu8vx/ed398ce666.jpg

Note the CS differences between my team and yours. Feel free to ignore our terrible mid that we carried. I was level 17 in 26 minutes that game because despite being ahead, I continued to farm for experience and gold to snowball my advantage. I took their top inhibitor, bottom outer, mid outer, and mid inner turrets all by myself while my team distracted/defended. You can't snowball a lead if you aren't farming properly because you'll never get the exp advantage that you need to win 2v1s and 3v1s. Sure, you can be strong enough to win any 1v1, but if your team is doing very poorly that's often not enough to carry a game.

I'm by no means good at this game. I hardly even consider myself competitive - I only play ranked on the weekends and not even every weekend. But this game is not difficult to play at a competent level. Anyone can get kills and get fed out of their mind, it takes knowledge and strategy to actually use that advantage properly to win games.

Assuming you're talking about mundo, you weren't even fed. It doesn't matter if as a jungler you get a good KDA if you're not farming enough to get a gold/level lead and simultaneously your ganks aren't snowballing any of your lanes to a gold/level lead.

Both of your solo laners had poor KDAs and matched you in level, one of them exceeded you in gold.

You can't carry if you don't have an advantage to press. From the looks of things, there was one weak player on the enemy team that you fed off of to the point that they weren't worth gold, and you were just padding your KDA instead of pressing objectives.

Your KDA isn't what classifies something as "carrying". You need to obviously be the most important person in that game.

This is that game.

You didn't have map awareness. While you were pushing their mid, they were taking both baron and dragon uncontested. They then ganked, and pushed for the win.

They also had a great bot lane, where they were repeatedly just taking out your Cait. You shoulda been there to snatch some weaves.

As far as builds go, you were putting that gold towards... what offensive capability? If you aren't being focused that much, you should get some more damage! Honestly, you had so little damage that while you certainly were hard to kill, all your gold went to being harder to kill. Why should they try if you don't do that much damage? At the end of the day, Mundo's have to make a reason to be focused. I find a great way to do this on him is get the Atmog's combo. Makes him hard to kill, but someone you can't ignore as he can take towers or champions quickly if ignored. After that, just build Resists and more HP.

Depends with hec and yi i usually pull 200+ cs every game and 10+ kills usually so im ganking quite a bit. You need to get that CS up so you can build items and have the level advantage over the enemy team like nasreth said.
