Jungling & Toxicity

Le Toucan Arrive·9/26/2017, 8:04:31 AM·1 votes·542 views

Hello, I am currently trying to get gold in solo q so I have gold in all ladders since I've heard somewhere you get a special reward at end of season if you have all ladders in gold or higher. I mainly play jungle, but I'm considering to quit jungling completely at least in games where I'm not running full premade.

The reason for this is that whenever I'm in a solo q game as a jungler and an enemy jungler ganks first and succeeds in the gank, I instantly get flamed by my teammates for not being there or not ganking enough. I like to farm the jungle quite a bit at least until I hit level 6 on most champions, I admit it is rare that I gank pre 6 (depending on the champ ofc) and that is mainly because I feel like I get so much value out of the jungle clears early on, xp advantage etc.

If we after this point in a game go on to lose the game I nearly always get the blame for it from my teammates and they say they're gonna report me and encourage the opponent team to report me as well.

It's very common that in these games the team flames me all game and go around stealing camps im doing, I just don't know how to play well under such circumstances and frankly the game isn't very enjoyable then either. I wouldn't be making this thread if this was a rare thing to happen but it is actually happening very frequently in my solo q games.

So, what can I do? Do I have to mute my entire team whenever I play solo q? Do I have to change my playstyle completely into something I think is inferior? Am I a slave to my team? Can I get banned for playing the game in my own way?

Please send help, I'm slowly dying on the inside.

Gold is easy. If youre gonna afk farm play champs that scale hard and can carry late. The meta right now is a gank early meta. I usually play ww and gank level 3 and 4, but if you're only trying to climb silver, you can afk farm and carry late. Just mute your team. (Afk farmers are people like Graves, Nidalee, Shyvana, Yi)

Communication is important as a jungler.

You should tell your laners when you are ganking (a minute ahead) so they can prep the lane and save their CDs, track the enemy jungler and let your laners know where he is.

If you are doing the communication well, your laners shouldn't haven't too much problems.

What is worse by not being there is when you go into a lane as a jungler and start farming, and when you "Call the gank" instead of the person in lane and "FAIL GANK" setting them really behind early game which would have not otherwise happened or both.

It only took one guy to make everything toxic in a game yesterday donig this as a jungle completely threw the game made everyone toxic.

Like if you suck jungle that bad just go "Sejuani" and press "R" its better.
