Wow, long post but read it all :) In any case, most of the people really don't realize why there's a jungler in the meta to begin with. Most people associate it with ganks and roaming to help lanes that need it, but really the role is just there to utilize all resources on the map available to a team. With no jungle, noone farms the jungle monsters most of the time and all the gold and exp. goes to waste. In the same time, another lane has to put up with shared gold and exp. That's the SOLE reason there's a jungler. Sure, ganks are cool, but in the end it's completely up to the jungler to decide whether to gank a lane or just keep on farming, like all the other teammates do. NOONE should take ganks and a jungler's help for granted and complain about lack of ganks if they lose a lane all by themselves (assuming they didn't get camped by the enemy jungler of course). Baddies are so quick to just blame everything on the jungler, even if they essentially counterpick themselves in champ select and then proceed to feed hard.
