what do you do when every lane loses as a jungler?

It is so hard to play when every lane loses especially mid lane. mid lane will roam on bot and top and get them snowballing. every lane is crying for help but i know for a fact if i gank any lane i will die along with my team mate. suggestions? this seems to happen to me often as well, my team mates push up, they get ganked and die, then then lose lane and blame it on me because they lost lane.

There are some games where you just can't win.

But if you're playing an auto attack jungler, invest heavily into vision and keep a sharp eye out for everyone on the enemy team who is still in lane and who left. The moment one of their lanes is empty and no one is there to defend it, run to there, set up some vision, and tear down the tower as fast as you can. Done correctly, you can reclaim a lot of map presence with little resistance, at least until the later stages of mid game.

Also, if you're a jungle main, you should test what junglers can solo the dragon at what stages of the game. Many Devourer Junglers are still capable of soloing the dragon at level 6-7, for example. Any champion with an auto attack blocking mechanic like Fiora, Jax, Pantheon, Wukong (if you're very careful), and others can pull off dragons as early as level 3. Dragon buffs are powerful this season, and if you can't depend on your team, you should figure out which junglers in your arsenal can take on the dragon with little to no help.

From my experience: Once you notice all your lanes are lost, you need to call it and end the laning phase ASAP.

You won't win 2 1v1s and a 2v2, but if your team starts roaming (even at the expense of a tower) you can pull off plays even if each person is down a kill or two.

Trick is to get your team to do this, but calling a dragon and moving from there may help. Or just mention that you think Mid should come help you take bottom tower, then rotate mid then top... before you know it your roaming deathsquad has taken 3 towers and nearly recovered in kills.

Maybe your team is shitty at laning but awesome at teamfights / roaming. Each minute you spend in a disadvantageous laning phase just cements the enemy team's lead.

Prepare for them to blame me even if i had ganked every lane successfully while beating the enemy jungler.

Gank other lanes if I can. if I don't not sure, I will call mid & top (or sp) go gank with me, we ussualy win in (3 vs 1) or (4 vs 2).

During 2 month ago, I had a game when early, bot lane feed 0-5 -> blaming -> our full team go bot -> kill ad - sp -jungle of enemy -> destroy 2 tower at bot -> catchl Akali in their jungle =))
