I'm serious, I just wrote a long rant that I deleted in behaviors. I think they either work or they dont. I mostly play vlad top, cue the "you suck" jokes, wawawa, I played vlad sup 4 times worked for two of those. Now vlad is slow, riot balancers thinks it works better that way for some reason, so i almost never get that LAST hit on a champ. I'm sure everyone know what I'm talking about. so ping that champ so that jg can take a peek and see it's a free kill with only one hit missing and come take it. Jg does so a fifth of the time.

I realize jg have their own methods especially with the champs they pick but I need to ask, is there a good way to have a good relationship with jg that doesn't dissolve into one of us muting the other and then reporting each other for the eventual harassment?

the jungler has 3 lanes to consider and also two sides of the jungle

this sometimes means he will never even come to your lane, and this is especially true for top

try not including your jg at all in your game plans and try winning your lane on your own instead of relying on others, that way when they do come you'll be even better off

Yea. Don't bitch when the enemy JG ganks top twice. I have seen so many people bitch that since the JG ganked top twice and your top has 0 wards bitch about being camped. Then call the JG trash and garbage and ask for reports. The best way is don't demand the JG to gank your lane. Demanding me to gank your lane ensures that top will never be ganked.

This one is on you, dgj212. Ping the jungler to come to your lane to gank BEFORE you attack the opponent. Don't expect the jungler to finish off your opponent every time you get him very low but cant secure the kill. The jungler's job is to apply pressure to all lanes and secure objectives and dragons/rift herald. Finishing off an enemy because you got him really low isn't exactly a priority for a jungler all the time. The jungler needs to do what is in the best interest of the entire team, not simply making sure you get an assist. Here is an example: Your jungler has an opportunity to take infernal dragon but you want to kill your opposing top laner. The better decision is the dragon over one kill. If you want a healthier relationship with the jungler, communicate with him and ping him before you attack so he is aware of your intentions. Pinging after you fight and run away doesn't help much. It seems you are very selfish in that you want the kill all for yourself but you can't quite get it so you ping and expect your jungler to finish him off after you realize you cant get the kill alone.
