Why does the Jungle role get so much hate

The only thing that kills me about some junglers that I have , are missing key smites , and not prioritizing Drakes/rift. Other than that though I see too often in many games the jungler getting flamed for no reason , because top/mid especially can't take responsibility for their own poor map awareness/ability to ward. Ganking losing lanes usually doesn't work , and I'm not talking about 0-1 down 15 cs losing lane im talking the 0-2 down 45 cs lane with no summs. If solo laners just respected their enemy a little bit more they might win more games.

Yes i agree with u for the most part but it is dumb when junglers just sit in there own jungle and farm when the enemy jungler is on the map. Ive had tons of games where enemy jungler sits top brush but my jungler instead of ganking bot mid or taking dragon or enemy jungle is just sitting in his own jungle farming his krugs

the jungler has to put pressure where lane has bad match up very early on not many jungle champion have very early lane pressure (xin) most jungler are lvl 6 lane pressure.

Easy to blame. Cant be disproven by obvious stats like a laner. Jungler has to make a lot of decisions, rather than just play mechanically well, and thus it is easier to criticize due to subjectiveness. But in my opinion, its just an easy target. Usually laners get tilted after ganks, so they want someone to blame, and its the enemy jungle who pissed em off, so they blame their jungle for not pissing the enemy off as much lol. But yeah I think junglers get the most blame and hate thrown their way. Its pretty tilting to see some idiot throw out the cliche "better jg wins" even when im not jungling.

Short version: Deflection, outcome bias and mob mentality.

Junglers have the broadest set of responsibilities. That makes them the perfect scapegoat because for most things that can go wrong the jungler could theoretically be to blame. So whenever one single person screws up and doesn't want to take the blame, they blame the only other person that could even remotely be responsible for it: The jungler.

Because better jungler wins.

I main top. I literally cannot walk past my tower because if I do, enemy jungler comes to gank me. It does not matter what I try to do in lane, enemy jungler still camps me for 15 minutes straight. Wards do nothing. If the enemy jungler decides to dive, I die. I might get a kill, but it does not matter. He comes again and again until I'm completely out of the game, I lose my tower, and enemy team can do whatever they want.

What does my jungler do in these situations? AFK. Literally afking 1 meter away from me. Every single game.

No matter how behind I am in those games, I still take Herald, SOLO. Because my jungler does not give a single fuck about any objectives. I'm going full Hashinshin right now, but I wish Riot put impassable walls around the entire jungle for 15 minutes. Because this is disgusting.

Matchmaking cannot be balanced when jungle difference is so great every game. Nothing else matters in this game. Only the jungle.
