Jungler ettique/lane behavior question.

As a jungler, I was called to mid lane quite early game because it was often 2-1. He probably called me 4 times in the first ten minutes.

While helping mid lane, there were not only the two enemy champions, but a lot of minions. My mid teammate was hanging back and trying to pick off the minions. He wouldn't go near them unless I was there when it was 2-1.

I started scaring away the enemy champions and picking off minions as well.

My mid lane guy threw a fit saying I was stealing his cs and experience.

Here's my issue. I have no problem helping out, and if you're battling it out with them and holding your own, fine. But if you hang back and just want me to be a target while you farm, that's bull. Also, I'm giving up my gold and experience by helping you out. I was taking maybe 1 out of 4 of the minions. When he complained, he had 41 minions and I had something like 22 which included my jungle and helping out bottom as well.

What's standard behavior in this situation?

If your teammate wants to harass you for helping him out, go help other lanes. No need to help out a guy who doesn't want it right?

True. And he did stop asking for help.

Just curious what is appropriate in this situation? Is it considered cs stealing when you ask jungle for help?

I mean, if you were sitting there casting abilities clearing out entire waves it's completely different than just last hitting 1 or 2 minions. But I mean if you show up to gank and the enemy backs right off, or blows a summoner or something I would suggest not hanging around. Leave or make it look like you're leaving then swing back around again when the enemy gets comfortable.

It was 2-1 until I showed up. So I don't know what he's calling me to do. I don't know if that makes sense, but he was just trying to pick off minions instead of pushing while we had 2-2.

So enemy jungle was camping til you showed up? Is that what you're saying?

I don't know if it was enemy jungle or someone else. They weren't organized.

I think the enemy basically ended up going 2 bottom, 2 mid and 1 top most of the game.

Oh man, I wouldn't worry about etiquette in a game like that then lol, I thought you were talking in terms of ranked meta play lol.

If this is normal blind or draft pick, just ignore the dude, say "I'm just collecting my pay," kill the minion you were killing at the time, and leave. If you're reported, Riot will probably look at it and think to themselves "Oh, it's another 15 year old mid getting mad about cs. No point in digging further."

WRONG. Intentionally griefing your team by refusing to help a lane as jungler is cause for punishment. I also hope to god you wouldn't recommend that he say "I am sorry was just trying to help" in chat, as he is then berating his mid laner by telling him that "as a jungler I was right to do what I did." This will certainly be twisted and you will be punished, suspended, or banned for it. Stay safe.

WTF are you talking about?

So, if mid lane wants to call me 5 times in the first ten minutes, I'm supposed to be bait AND get no gold or experience while he takes it all?

Can't be true. Senseless.
