I see from your example that you did not gank top lane until Irelia had 3 deaths. Noob mistake. You also got Red buff instead of running across the map immediately to try and gank without it -  like a slow and true damage is really that good...

Rules of solo queue 1- It's always the jungler's fault. 2- See Rule 1, nub

And... I've run out of sarcasm.

Ok, seriously though, I've run into the same problem. They blame the jungler because they can't blame themselves, and your teammates pile on the bandwagon because it's easy. And it's CLEARLY your fault, because Irelia said so in chat.

Enough about your fail teammates. What can you do about it? First off, if you're top lane is getting buttfucked, you have to abandon the jungle to assist, and probably stay there, if she's getting the business like in your example. Maybe a part-time jungle, where you stay in and around top lane, leaving to pick up top-side camps. Or conversely, a part-time lane

Another solution is don't jungle. It sucks as a solution, but let's face it, every team isn't good enough to implement high-Elo strategies (or even mid-Elo strats).

Don't get frustrated and quit. Adapt and overcome.
