Great article. I especially like the fact that you stressed the importance of the "keeping them honest" aspect while also stressing that it's not the REASON for jungling. It seems like every single game that I play my laners (ironically, usually not my solo top, even if they're 1v2, where it'd actually make sense) end up whining to me constantly to come in for a gank because they're failing in lane (which, in the case of mid or bottom lanes, is NOT my fault, and I've usually been doing all I can to help them), and then when I DO come in for a gank, they don't help me with it, the target gets away with 30 hp, and both my team and the enemy tells me I need to work on my ganks, even if I didn't intend to go in for the kill in the first place. In the rare case that my laners AREN'T failing and whining, they're at the enemy tower, with flagrant disregard for their own safety, and are promptly (and often successfully) ganked by the enemy jungler, often despite the ward I myself put down and the pings I put out. It's unbelievably frustrating.
