Well, I've been playing a lot of LoL, as previously stated. I'm getting rather good at jungler Udyr, which is fun to play. He's versatile, and suits my style. Overall, lots of fun with him. I get quite a lot of good games, but also bad games.
One thing that ties both games together is the fact that, laners like to blame junglers, for NO apparent reason.
I'll start as a laner's POV. The lane is the place where I farm. I have to guard it, and push back the enemies' advance as best as I can. If they have the advantage, I should be more defensive. Basic strategy here, nothing too complicated.
Where does a jungler come in? If I am being pushed, and I need my jungler's help, I ask for it. Fair game. If I have the advantage, I don't get too cocky and push in, as it could result in exposing my lane to ganks (enemy jungler or laners coming in to assist). If my jungler has a setup to dive (all-in assault), I push more. Really, really basic stuff here.
From a jungler's POV, I check on my team's lanes often, as I try to clear jungle monsters for gold. I look at the condition of lanes, and assume where the enemy jungler might appear, and perhaps setup a counter-gank or take away his jungle's gold. Essentially, I try to help my team's laners gain the advantage, bit by bit.
THE PROBLEM IS - there are amateurs mistaking the role of a jungler.
If you are playing in a lane, you are not ENTITLED to monopolise the jungler. You play your lane, and you play your lane good. If you suck, not because of the inherent differences between champions but because of your stupid decisions, junglers have the right to refuse in helping you. If your jungler is helping other lanes, DON'T act like a spoiled child and demand his help IMMEDIATELY. Don't you dare choose stupid champions with bad match-ups and blame your jungler for not helping you. If you are an idiot, you pay the price for it yourself. It doesn't take long to do research on the subject matter, your predecessors have laid out a path for you.
If you are a jungler, HELP your weak lanes. Don't be an idiot and keep farming away. If your lanes lose, you will lose the game. Lanes are more profitable than the jungle, so help the money-makers make it big. Don't stick to your pre-made friend. You think ties will help you win the game? It's a 5-man team. If the other 3 members are not getting help, you sure as hell won't be winning.
In conclusion? This is a rant. Don't be an idiot. Look up what you should do and should not do. ALWAYS check your map. Spend 10 minutes to look up champions. That 10 minutes won't kill you, but your ignorance can virtually cause deaths. Don't be a douche.
