So, i have jungled a few times and typically had pretty decent teams. The last one though..... I finally see why so many people can't stand to jungle. You really get blamed for a lot.

The lanes are mostly over extended and get ganked by all 5 of their teams while they have no wards. Yup thats the Junglers fault.

You lose your lane by 7 kills. Yup totally the junglers fault.

Doesn't matter if the bot lane goes afk mid fight to answer a message and dies. Thats probably the junglers fault too.

I normally am pretty good at ignoring people but that match seriously annoy me. So how do you handle these annoying people?

Have that. What happens when you are only 2 beers in though? Start chugging?

All comedy aside. There is really nothing you can do to help your team when every lane starts to die from malaria. It's one of the most frustrating moments in the game when people just find ways to feed in lane (without even getting ganked) and then blame you.

Protip: Don't jungle but carry from a lane.

Ive started jungling almost every game, and yea, it happens. People will overextend and get ganked, refuse to ward, but it's jungle's fault.

I'm sorry you had a rough match, Zeusamus. A little communication can go a long way in games, so that's one thing to consider. For instance, you mentioned your teammates were pushing their lanes out to far. The next time you're in a game and that happens, you can try letting people know "Hey, guys, you're pushed up a little too far for me to come in and gank. Can you try to back off a little bit? Then I can help!"

Make sure you do so nicely, of course. Some people just might not know or not realize in the heat of the game that their jungler needs a little elbow room to work. I also like to ask lanes how they're doing periodically during the match, because sometimes people are fine and sometimes they need the help but don't think to ask for it.

That's my two cents on it, anyway. Hope it helps and good luck!

Try lane ganks. I find that enemy junglers are REALLY predictable. If your top is too pushed, they WILL gank. If you have a stronger 2v2 than the other team, just sit in the brush and bait a gank.

Otherwise just farm if everyone is pushed and there are a bunch of wards. Farm up an oracles and clear them so you can impact the game more.

If worse comes to worse, tell your teammates good luck, mute them, and then just continue with your game.

You could also just ward for their lane if it's that much of a pain for you. I personally dislike doing it, but if the person refuses to buy a ward, I just take the 75g hit and get a ward for him/her.

Thanks for the advice! I like your idea of communication, but sadly people are overly defensive.

I will keep it up, just felt the need to vent i guess. Sometimes people can be so hard on a poor ol' jungler

I like this ....a lot!

We have the summoners code, but not all of us really have the tools to be polite in game. Politeness really isn't a well used skill anymore, especially among the kids (eye-roll, ik) So much of sarcasm is lost without body languge. I really believe a lot of times people say stuff like, C'mon noob, without 100% trying to troll (read: be a ****). When they get a response of "STFU", they immediatly counterattack, because frankly, its our nature as humans.

I think if riot could give the average lol player more examples (like in this quote here) of how to be polite, we might see it more often in game.

Actually, it's not. This is completely a learned behavior.
