Neglecting a lane as a jungler should be a reportable offense.

Lets put this into perspective. Let's say you have a Draven ADC on your team and your playing Lee Sin, the highest ganks per minute jungler in the game. You notice that he got counter picked, thus you decide to not gank his lane at all, as he's dying under tower. Well, guess what you have there pal, a worthless ADC who is designed to snowball early. I can't stand it when I'm in lane, and pushed to my tower, dying. That is inexcusable. You're actually making a player on your team worthless because you're too stubborn to gank their lane because they got counter picked. The minds of some people.

Not a good idea imo.

It is all a matter of tactics and experience. Is he new to Lee Sin? Maybe he hasn't learned a good path yet. Is he ganking other lanes? Sacrifice 1 to power the other two. Should a jungle try to help out all lanes? If possible, yes.

I can que with my buddy and he will be top. It is quite possible that I won't ever gank for him because I know trying to help another lane will be better.

Draven is a good character to get fed, no doubt. Is the gank going to be successful or will the enemy get a triple because of it.

You are right and wrong. I think people in high elo might be better off ganking the winning lane to snowball them. But in my low elo if I don't gank a lane that's losing they start feeding on purpose, afking, and otherwise becoming a toxic nuisance. But here's the logic. The winning lane has a higher chance of getting a kill off a gank and snowballing, which is when they become so strong that they carry a game. Your job as the losing lane is to stay under your tower and farm as much as possible. Gold ratios are still pretty good on farm alone. If you can farm well, you can be about equal to the guy getting fed kills in terms of gold if you can outfarm him. In terms of gold by not dying you are denying the enemy laner gold, and by farming you are getting gold. Sure you aren't killing much and your farm might suffer but the other lane that's being snowballed will make up the difference. If the lane that snowballed isn't skilled enough to use the advantage then the jungler made a bad choice but it's just a losing strategy. I agree that in low elo it is stupid to gank the winning lane though, just based off of your tilt ruining the potential for a win.

sorry, gotta disagree. Jungle is the role where you have to be looking at the whole map. Unless you have teleport, (and it's not on CD), you can't always be where you need to be at the right moment. You have to make the judgement call on what to do based on where you are. sometimes you have the ability to get to where you could be of some help...other times you won't make it and so you go focus on something else.

can't report this. a person's game-play judgement can never be a reportable item because people would report everyone for that if they think someone made a bad call.

Your opinion on these matters mean nothing, you are level 20. Also, you are just wrong.

Shouldn't be reportable. Nor is it reportable if said jungler gets his red, birds, and rocks taken by the ADC because the lane needs farm after his tower falls.

If you're too noob not lose a lane without someone babysitting you, then you are most definitely the person no jungler should gank for. If you can't survive a lane alone, no amount of jungle help is gonna raise your fortunes. You would probably still go on to feed like crazy anyway, even if the ganks resulted in you getting something.

Say in this game you have a fizz mid and lee is camping mid and gets fizz fed as hell. Guess what? Lee did a great job because rather than pulling your losing lane to even he got a lane ahead that has the potential to snowball. It shouldn't be lees job to carry you.

By this logic, should a laner be reported for losing their lane?

If anything if someone is really intentionally ignoring/neglecting to help teammates, that would be a different offence to talk about (note the term intentionally). But junglers merely not ganking your lane doesn't not constitute an offence.
