I jungle pretty much exclusively. When I don't jungle and I lane I do get a bit upset at the ally jungler for some reasons.

If at 10 mins I don't see you in my lane, I mention it.
If at 15 mins I don't see you I get extremely pissed, and chances are we've lost the game.
If my blue gets stolen more times than I even get a chance to take it, I get mad. Your job is to drop these buffs. If you don't, don't cry about being under-leveled or about me "stealing" your XP.

Jump into my lane, clear a wave or two. IF you don't make your presence by even showing up, don't need a successful gank, the enemy lane is just going to move into the jungle freely and do as they please. By allowing them to do this, it makes the game difficult for everyone else.

Just recently played a game where we had a Ne Zha jungle. Odin was solo lane vs Anhur (Odin lost his lane rather quickly). That Ne Zha didn't move from the solo side, not even into mid. Granted, I know you need to focus the lost lane as much as possible but in a 20 min match I didn't see Ne Zha once. Odin praised Ne Zha who went 7/4 in the post game lobby "Love a great jungler", the enemy duo laughed and said it was the easiest time they'd ever had. They thought we were only 4 people.

Junglers do get **** on a lot, but I wouldn't say it is the hardest role. I can't Mid worth a squirt of piss myself.

Sometimes your jungle might be getting destroyed by theirs or having a lot of trouble keeping up so he has to farm. Or, your mid might be winning his lane and being a douche, so he steals both mid camps constantly or something.

When I'm jungling, I rarely go into lane to "just farm minions", because I'm stealing exp from the lane when I do this and that's only going to put them further in the hole if they're doing bad. Sometimes, I might jump in and help them get a good push in and put the enemy in their tower or something, but unless I see an opportunity to further the lane or need to get them back on an even footing, I stay out of the lane.

Tbh, of all the lanes, I think solo is honestly the most difficult to keep up with. It's like a constant roving fist fight with tons of minions to trip over.

Also, one of the most irritating things people ever do is complain that you're not helping them when you've got a low kill count. Even though, I just set up three kills for you in your lane and let you have them, and have 13 assists in under 15 minutes, I'm obviously not helping your lane at all because I have lower kills than you. Jeez.

Prolly the hardest thing on jungling is knowing when to bother ganking. There are times when someone is losing their lane but you won't really be able to kill the enemy even if you run over there. Then it's just a waste of time that you shouldn't skip any farm for, poke the enemy or something if you're close, but not worth getting behind in farm yourself. But the person in that lane won't see it that way and usually will rage. It's tough.

Honestly just showing up is the best thing a jungler can do. If someone is pretty even or slightly ahead, a gank can cause more issues then just making a presence.

Nothing worse then when you are jungling on the right side of the map and someone calls "Gank Left Lane" and then gets upset when you didn't get over there in time though. The best is when they yell at you for it.

Random story time: I went in to a game the other day and picked Chronos and said "solo" long before anyone chose a role. We get a 60 second later Ra who clicks and insta locks even though someone has called Support, ADC, Solo and Mid and chosen gods but no one has locked. We now have like 20 seconds to figure something out so I say "I suck at Jungling but will do it. Everyone else locks so I switch to Freya and become the Jungler (because Freya is ez-mode). About 15 minutes in everyone on the team is positive on KDR except the mid Ra who is down by like 6. He yells at me for being a terrible jungler and rage quits.
