Just Lost as My Favorite Main Jg Vi - AGAIN D:<

Now that the title has somewhat vented my rage - here's the last match from before this post:

http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1787811173/203289894?tab=overview

I'm reaching the consensus from responses to a previous post (http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/tips-tricks/iY6ZdH9T-why-am-i-still-not-winning) that being jg is no longer a role from which I can carry a game. My playstyle is more "charge in, get punching", and getting myself or my team fed as a result, NOT "throw myself into a teamfight, hope my nearby but under-powered team can follow up".

I only gank for lanes when I see the opportunity to do so and I can get there in time, not when people keep pinging me to "help gank plz" after they ****ing feed their ****ing enemy laner. I'm in the top side of the map farming, they give Jinx a double kill on the other side. "Vi ur bad jg".

SO that leaves the question. I try to wait for opportunities, I don't force them unless I'm fed and wrecking them. If my team is losing, do I build tankier to peel for them, or do I continue building the damage item I was working on to try making the kill myself (building defensively only to mitigate my own suffering)?

That said, do I just stop jungling and try to learn an easy-middle difficulty solo laner who can farm, watch his/her own back and carry the team with damage or split pushing? Someone on par with the difficulty of Vi or Volibear or Sejuani - no Zeds, Lee Sins, or Rivens plz. I find ADC too dependent on the support's performance at times, didn't climb out of Bronze with that in S4.

The 17/4/11 Xin game I just got out of would highly disagree with your sentiment that "junglers can't carry games". In fact, I believe that a well played jungle can be the deciding factors in most games as the jungler has so much influence on so many different aspects of the game. If a lane is doing poorly, you can gank it and completely flip the tables. If a snowbally lane is ahead, you can get free kills and use that to snowball that lane further and bring more pressure elsewhere. You call objectives and apply more pressure than anyone else (until late game of course, cause then it's up to the adc). Now here's the thing though, if you're only looking to win, and you find that you're not able to bring a lot of pressure from the jungle, it might be time to switch to another role.

Dominated as a Nasus after that, so my humors are equalized :P

Try learning Shaco, he can do some pretty unique ganks that the enemy does not expect 90% of the time. Of course this forces the other team to buy pinks, but that's what the sweeper trinket is for.

It looks like your Morgana fed all game. It wasn't your fault man. Your team's game play stems from everyone's overall understanding of the game. People who are newer demand that their lane get babied like a sweet swaddling infant rather than another lane dominate from the amazing vi ganks.
