Views: 847 Discouraged by One Loss...
|
So I played 5 ranked games, 3 with Shaco, 1 with Graves, and 1 with Kha'Zix. I won 4 out of 5, my loss being with Shaco and in all games I did well and was positive. However, I feel very discouraged by the loss with Shaco. I mean, my team composition wasn't very good compared to theirs, and all lanes would overextend so I could never gank. And each lane was calling for me at the same time, and when I would help top lane, bot and mid would b****, moan and groan about how bad of a jungler I am.
I don't know, I don't feel like it's my fault but I also feel like a lot of pressure is put on the jungler over all other roles. I mean, if the jungler is TRYING to do his job when the other lanes lack, is it the junglers fault when he can't do anything? I don't think so, but that's just me.

I made a similar post before. Check out my blog for a replay of a game where I'm Shen jungling. That was also the very first game where I decided to AFK - in ranked, no less. I probably got 4 reports, but I also got 2 honorable opponents.

People say that being support is a thankless job, but jungling is just as bad, imo. Just keep at it.
Thank you for your support. Both Support and Jungler are very mocked roles. It doesn't matter how hard you try, one mistake and you're mocked for the rest of the game.. unfortunately, Support is the second role I took up... *sigh*....

If you have no opportunity to gank, then there's nothing you can do. Every laner should be able to handle themselves without assistance, as Psycho noted. Yesterday, for instance, I was playing Jax vs Olaf in the top lane, which is a horrid matchup. My jungler never ganked, but I just stayed calm, stacked up on potions and froze my lane. My jungler was able to concentrate on bot and mid, getting our carries some kills, whilst I just farmed my way back into the game. If you're having a poor early game, it's not up to the jungler to always rescue you, it's up to you to stall and focus on doing your job better. No gank is better than a failed gank. By mid game, I'd rather have a jungler who was 0/0/0 with farm and levels than an under levelled jungler with a negative score.
That's the terrible truth, people are usually selfish and want help regardless of the situation. If I have low health and am out of mana, they want me to gank when they are overextended at their turret because the person they are laning against is still there with low health. Terrible situations when it comes to jungling, it almost makes me want to quit jungling, but it's by far my favorite role.
I always try to do my job in lane without the jungler, his ganks are all bonus. Unless I'm stuck into a 1v2 top for instance, but even then I usually never ever rely on anyone else but myself.
I wish a lot more players were like you and not relying on a jungler to pull them out of a pinch.
I use to play Shyvana as a jungler, and because she's not good at ganking, I just do my best to level and farm in my jungle and most of the time I clear the enemy jungle to make the enemy jungle late in level and farm.
Anyway people still don't understand that if there is no very difficult match up or not good opportunity to gank, they are supposed to hold their lane by themselves.
More particulary when the jungle is not a dedicated ganker.
I hope people will try to be more patient and cheerfull for their jungler job.
