User blog comment:Dracko40/The Angry Illithid: Jungler's Aren't There To Win Your Lane./@comment-3107063-20110901150443

When it comes down to it... it is a team game. If one is in a position to help a teammate then it should be done. I've found that, when I jungle, I will attempt to gank someone even if there is no chance at all for a kill. Just get in their head a little bit. Force them back a tad. Take a chip out of their health. Whatever. Half the time you'll see an /all chat "fail gank lol" but it doesn't bother me. Make them remember you're there.

However, on a few occasions I've run in to those assholes who, for some reason, hate their own junglers. Back during the week Udyr was free I remember a game when two people (obviously buddies with each other) raged at me in champ selection about picking him and grabbing smite. It was a complete string of nonsense like "OMFG JUNGLERS SUCK DONT JUNGLE" and I had to just assume they were kidding. They were on bot together and sure enough as soon as the game started they yelled at me from level 1 all the way till the end of the game about ganks. They were getting completely dominated in their lane as well. Meanwhile I was more concerned about our solo top guy who was having a really hard time. So I'm there stuck between two completely blown up side lanes and getting raged at in chat the entire time. End result is that I was barely able to jungle due to babysitting. I've never quite encountered anything like that before.

In the end, though, it's a game. LOL is full of trolls but the number of decent people far exceeds them. Forget about them and move on.
