Jungle Mains Are Saints

I've been playing Jungle a lot lately, partly because of positional match making, and partly because I want more control of the early game. Let me just say: WOW.

How do we still have Jungle mains? Jungle is nerfed every few patches, people flame you because you kinda have to farm sometimes, and you can't camp all 3 lanes.

Let me explain.

I failed a gank in bot lane. It was definitely my fault, because I went in slightly too early, and my Morgana couldn't get there in time. So I died. I immediately went to farm my top jungle because I had to make up for the lost time. I started blue buff when I noticed both the mid laner and jungler weren't on the map, and pinged top and bot repeatedly, warning them. 4 enemies then show bot, in addition to my mid laner, and I'm getting spam pinged at this point. Assuming I could not get there in time, I gank top and try to help my top laner get tower. Because I play in low ELO, there is basically a standoff in bot lane with no kills for a solid 3 minutes. I'm still getting pinged, and my Morgana is hard flaming me.

My top laner and I got both the kill, the tower, AND Herald. Meanwhile, my ADC, Support, and Mid Laner are flaming me and spam pinging me for not helping. There was only one death in bot lane and NO tower damage. After my top laner got Herald, I left him to split push top, and noticing the enemies going into the fog of war in my bot jungle with low health, I, as Twitch, decide to stealth into the jungle to stop their backs. I got a double. My top laner never dropped Herald like I expected to, but I didnt tell him to, so I didnt mind. Then, with almost 3k gold, no objectives on the map, and low health, I back. You would not BELIEVE the flame I got. By the end of the game, I got a quadra, and got a bit greedy chasing the last kill for the penta. My Morgana is hard flaming me for greeding. Admittedly, I was, but everyone greeds for the Penta. When I cannot catch the Lee Sin, I go back to the enemy base because I'm still pretty high HP and pick up another Quadra and win. I have over 20 kills and no one else on my team has more than 10. I had 29 total kills and assists and Morgana had 7.

She's STILL flaming and threatens to report me. Of course, I defended myself the first time she flamed, and after the second time, I just ignored her, figuring it was useless.

Tl;dr: You Jungle mains are amazing and have such thick skins. Thank you all for all the times you have carried my scrub ass in lane.

Sorry to anyone who reads this til the end lol.

EDIT: By the end of the game, most of my team changed its tune and congratulated me, and I got 3 honors. I'm assuming Morgana was the one who didn't honor.

I'd say one of the highlights here is you recognized an unwinnable and "useless" argument that you knew wasn't worth your time and you chose to disengage. As long as "defending yourself" wasn't flaming the Morg into purgatory, then kudos to you. I hope you have many more enjoyable games in the future!

I think you need to thicken your skin and mute someone who starts to flame you. Or flame back and forth if you need to vent some. But other than that sounds like a typical game of league. Junglers seem to be too strong at the moment, the role needs dramatic nerfing. They get free kills essentially. Especially in low Elo when I'm climbing back, the supports never understand lane control. We're all too quick to be at odds with one another, but sometimes if someone flames you there can be SOME smidgen of truth to it. Find that, bring it to the forefront, apologize and grow together. It's called being the bigger person and turning the other cheek. If it's completely unfounded than just be honest and polite. Or like I said flame and vent, either are equally acceptable. If we all thicken our skin and take the time to visualize and think critically about each others position, the results are more beneficial than either defending or attacking. Though defending and attacking is a recreational part of league, language is a lot like a competition in of itself, some people just want to test their debating skills It looks like. It's alright to feel hurt and angry, you should from time to time no avoiding it. We're all only human. Punishment is unethical afterall, it's akin to revenge. Life has natural ways of punishing us, the results of our actions bare their own fruit, moderating that is akin to playin god.

Though I dont expect people on a league forum to understand stuff like that lol. They're often here in direct opposition to entropy and nature. Rather illusion of control, social justice, and security.

Yeah lotta low elo players will blame others for mistakes, it’s typically the main form of fighting from what I’ve seen in my year and a half of lol.
