Tough life as a tank jungle

Main tank jungle at high diamond/master level. Yet stuck in solo q in low Diamond, every game 20 deaths at 20 min. Enemy jungle gets rolling ahead by easy kills in lane(3 kills at min 5). 'Meta' jungles invade my side, while my team types away in chat flaming the crap out of me. Expecting me to magically defend my jungle against 2 of them invading. Yes, while my mid/top types away under tower or dead and their mid/top free to run around in my jungle. Then when their adc 2 shot me with 2 item at min10, they scream I feed. Yet at the early stages I managed to pull off ganks despite invading jungle while my team are rushing towards the 20 death target.

I have tried playing the 'meta' junglers such as evelynn, lee and udyr. But it is a game of who feed faster and always i just cant seem to have easy early kills. Even when their laners fails miserably and feed me, our team will perform even worse and ensure that the enemy is also well fed. Hello there 16/1/10 vayne that have 6 items at 23min(Building 2 magic resist item for me certainly made me feel special.). It is just such a strange feeling playing udyr when getting kited/one shot by 10/1 adc, while other games watching a 7/0 udyr at min 8 bringing havoc to my jungle.

They never appreciate the beauty of not dying early game nor the reality that when enemy jungle invades, it is much better to collapse on them when you have lane priority, instead of coming back flaming your jungle when he falls behind. This game is toxic and disappointing as the year go on. Frankly, too much for me at this point. 15 min fast pace 'who feeds harder and faster' just seems like a bad team deathmatch rather than a strategic MOBA. Moreover, from my own experience, being aggressive like they are gets me banned, yet they may roam free and flame as much as they like..

And your point?

Just a rant or something else?

First season being diamond after 4 years of gold/low plat. I think someone here is overestimating his skill

Ignoring a lot of the Gameplay-related fluff...

Moreover, from my own experience, being aggressive like they are gets me banned, yet they may roam free and flame as much as they like..

You don't know whether or not the other players got a punishment. If they flamed, they'll more than likely be punished for it. And if you got punished for flaming back...Does that not make it seem more likely that they would get punishment, too?

Because, surely, if you got punished for counterflaming, and you reported the other players who flamed, they should, by all rights, see a punishment of their own.
