Please take a moment to appreciate your junglers.

As a person who plays anything but Jungle and just tried this role out a few times.. It's very frustrating to play it. You can do very well at the beginning of a game but you can still lose everything you achieved and lose the game itself for misstiming a smite, failing a gank, fucking up a clear, getting outjungled and falling behind. I genuinely appreciate good jungle players and people who main this role, it takes a lot of game knowledge and good control of the champion because of most of the junglers are pretty hard to play properly. Except for imo.

So think twice before pointing a blaming finger at your jungler, you don't know half the pain they have to go through with or without your unnecessary complaints.

The guy who pings, then RECALLS and says he plans to go there after you waste your engage (my fault for not checking he finished recall).

1.) Fucking up a clear -- if you've got the proper jungle items the basic needed runes it shouldn't be possible for you to and unlike laners you don't need to worry about last hit.

2.) Miss-timing a smite -- there's a reason your smite tells you the value that it's going to do in TRUE DAMAGE and that the epic monsters have the health remaining above their health bars so you can see exactly when to use it.

3.) Failing a gank -- then don't gank. This is one the worse jungle problems when laners ask them to not help but they somehow seem to come in anyways.

This doesn't apply to all junglers and yes playing jungle for the first time is awkward like it is any role, but I wouldn't go as far as to say that it's the hardest thing ever and they should be lauded for everything. Especially with how selfish junglers have become this season by being the new form for carry.

If the enemy jungler is in the pit, you pretty much have a 50% chance of smiting it (with exceptions such as Cho'gath, Lee Sin, Elise and Nunu).

Even without the other jungler in the pit, you can easily make a mistake estimating damage dealt to the objective if people randomly decide to burst it down and/or stop hitting the Baron.

Also, the numbers above their head update in set intervals. They don't display the exact health of the objective at any given instant.

I wasn't talking about miss-timing it with another jungler in the pit. i was talking about the number of times where I've seen a janna support who built no AP steal the baron with her tornado. If you're pressured while doing it I can understand; if we are doing it and you don't have smite available it's your job to tell the rest of the team. Saying "Lolz didn't have smite you guys should've bursted it" after the objective is stolen isn't helpful.

As someone who only jungles when filled into it, I have never had an issue missing a smite. But unlike the others I tell my team I am inexperienced with the role and then they only do objectives that they know won't be contested. Communication is key especially for that role.
