I think the biggest mistake I make is when people QQ because the "jg isn't ganking," as though it's something I just choose to do. I've literally had teammate's die in front of the opponent's turret, and blame me for not "ganking."
When I do well is when I grind as fast as possible, hit soft spots as fast as possible, and most importantly fade away when the surprise advantage is lost. And most importantly, I have to keep momentum going from camp to camp to lane to camp. But what happens is I harry an opponent in lane, sending them back to turret, then move on, but my teammate stands around for 10 seconds and gets ganked.
I've literally told teammates at the start of a game that I'll be in and out fast, that they should put up wards and help position the enemy for a good ganking opportunity, and WAIT. But it's like herding cats, isn't it?
Get yourself more highly ranked, and it'll get more streamlined in general
It's always an aggravation at levels where you can't count on people to play WITH you, even with communication. Playing with our mates on that TS? It's frustrating at times... try to make an easy easy easy play, but my understanding of it and theirs are oceans apart. Support gank? Almost impossible, and as if they'd notice wards placed in the river. Jungle gank? They aren't map aware, so they don't see me coming and don't plan accordingly, completely losing out on the advantage by the time i'm there (pushing to turret...), or backing as I'm about to engage. When I'm about to engage, my mind focuses on enemies, assuming my allies are with me when I'm ganking their lane (or otherwise organize this)... where is the jungler, when can the adc or top laner who backed get here, is flash blown on the mid, can we burst him down and win a two v 1 resulting with the jungler....
Math, right? More variables, more possibility of screwing up. Not having your ally there when there is literally zero reason for them to be backing by the turret while you gank their laner... that's an impossible challenge... because telling them I'm coming and targeting near to their enemy mid with a ping... somehow, can be interpreted as 'I got yer lane, bud'
It's the worst for win ratios. The disbelief is heavy upon my face at times like that. Then comes the verbal abuse, and a simple sigh... because they CANNOT BE TAUGHT!I promise you... they CANNOT. BE. TAUGHT.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
