Just remember, it is NEVER the junglers fault for losing a game. Unless, you like feed the enemy ranged carry 6 kills or something, but only then. The jungler's responsibility is not to win a specific lane, but to give the lane an advantage either through gank pressure, or kills. One thing I noticed during the Season Two Tournament recently is that on the first back, they usually got oracles. Oracles is extremely useful becuase then you can continually gank lanes. Go clear their wards, obviously they will know you are there, but wait somewhere and come back. Another thing that really helped me jungling is just keep track of the time. Know the times jungle creeps respawn. Another awesome thing (I'm sure you know this) but ward the entrances to your jungle early, and if you get the advantage, ward the entrances to their jungle. Also, I've found that there are only a few types of junglers I personally like. 1. Junglers who have high mobility and some form of crowd control for ganks, who can also farm decently and sustain decently (Hecarim) and junglers who are just all about counter jungling, and not really gank relient (Shyvana). Recently, I've been loving Maokai. He has pretty good sustain, can clear well, doesnt need a leash whatsoever to jungle (but of course it helps) and many other things. Another very interesting jungler is Trundle (I know, right?). A little advice, never pick Trundle in solo que. And for runes, honestly, I just go to Solomid.net and find the guide for the champion that has the best like/dislike ratio and try it out. It's usually high elo players. It is not that you are doing anything wrong, its just some junglers work better with some team compositions. You really have to learn the roles of your champion. For example, if you pick someone like Udyr, you role isnt really engaging first in fights. You can try to bear stance towards them, but will probably just be poked down a little bit. Or, if you are Kha'Zix, you really just want to wait for someone else to engage the fight, then ultimate behind everyone else and cause a riot. Im not sure if I am explaining this well enough, but I hope it helps. Also, communication is key to LoL. Get people talking. Lastly, Pick a jungler who works well with the team composition. If you have a leona support bot lane, and Annie Mid, a malphite top, and an ashe bot, pick someone who can gank really well early on because with a team like that, you will not lose teamfights lol.
