So this just happened

SO, I was playing a norm game and am in the process of learning Jungle. WELL, I got jungle as my role and the adc "thought" he got jungle, then picked kindred and COMPLETELY trolled the SHIT out of me. The entire team blamed me for not switching to adc, then they all ended up trolling/flaming me because I was garbage (Kindred stole EVERYTHING IN THE JUNGLE, ALL GAME, and I'm LEARNING. SO, how am I supposed to catch up after all of this?) Well, I was level 3 while everyone was 6, I was utterly confused and frustrated with everything because I had NO idea what to do. So I'm posting this to just let everyone know that people fucking suck.

Also taking this to support because they were SO toxic to me, of all people. I did absolutely nothing wrong but try to learn jungle and instead have it stolen from me and suffer through and entire game of constant flame and toxicity.

If it was a normal, roles are not assigned, and when 2 people call the same lane, it can show up in chat in a different order.

I play games with both my sons, same room, similar PC configurations, and pregame chat is sometimes in a different order on one of the 3 clients at the start when players spamming picks.

If one or two other team members comment that xxxxxx called a roll in thier chat first, it is more often correct coming from a 3rd party. Even if is different in your chat window.

Jungle is the position that has the highest level of love/hate. A great jungler is the one that carries their team to victory--the ones that know pathing, spawn times, and have a supernatural ability to determine where they're needed. A learning jungler can do none of this as they are learning, but people don't want to entertain the idea that someone needs to "learn." If they want to learn then they should go to bots after all (I've heard that one plenty of times).

Your experience is exactly the reason why I gave up learning jungle or top lane. All the lanes have their own important details, but people just expect you to know them off the top of your head and have no sympathy to allow a learning curve. You can learn the champion in bots, yes, but you can't learn map awareness, pathing, or anything of the sort because bots are always predictable.

Basically, OP, you're going to keep running into people like this as you try to learn the role. Whether they steal the role from you or not is debatable, but there will always be someone complaining that you're not doing anything, that you're afk farming, that you're not ganking, until you finally hit that level where you're a decent jungler. My advice--NEVER reply to them. I have issues with this myself, but if you reply, you open the door for toxicity. At this point in Draft Mode, people can tell who got what role (thank you, Riot).

The best you can do is continue with screenshots, to download your replays or record them with something like Bandicam, and then report the people who treat you this way. If it's too horrible, send in a support ticket with your proof. The best thing you can do is help get those players out of the game so the rest of us don't have to go through the same thing.

next time, dodge the game. 5 minutes watching youtube while waiting for next game is worth not spending 20 minutes having high blood-pressure.
