I’ve been playing League of Legends for a while now, focusing on norms before diving into ranked. I’ve had great success as an ADC and top, winning over 70% of my lanes. However, when I made the jump to ranked, it feels like I hit a wall because my junglers often seem clueless. Out of all my games, about 90% of my jungles don’t prioritize objectives, fail to gank effectively, and barely farm. This has led to me losing around 70% of my ranked matches, even when I’m fed from my lane. I decided to switch to jungle myself and learned some fundamentals from a straightforward guide, allowing me to climb to Bronze 3 with a 90% win rate. Now, I’m curious to know at which elo do junglers generally start playing better and actually seem to know what they’re doing?

Honestly, nobody in the Iron or Bronze elos really has their act together. Maybe start focusing on improving your own gameplay instead of blaming your jungle.
You can definitely still win games even if your jungler isn’t performing well. It might feel like you’re losing because of them, but often the enemy jungler makes mistakes too. Try to carry anyway!
That’s true, but when the enemy team gets multiple dragons and barons because your jungler isn’t even trying, it makes it so much harder to turn things around.
When you get to around Emerald II, most players start to understand the basics of jungle and team play, but there are still plenty of players who mess it up. If you believe you can climb, keep practicing and analyzing your own gameplay.
I appreciate the advice! I just need to work on my fundamentals more and not just blame my teammates.
At higher ranks, like Diamond and above, you’ll find most junglers actually know how to impact the game. Lower ranks? It’s a mixed bag! Focus on improving and keep grinding, you’ll get there.
I believe that! I also switched from ADC to jungle and found it easier to climb. Just gotta keep learning!
Instead of waiting for the jungler to save you, try focusing on your own survival strategies. If you keep dying to ganks, that’s on you. Work on your positioning and map awareness.
I get that, but if I’m being constantly ganked without support, it feels impossible to carry. I have to farm and split-push, but that just delays the game.
For real! It’s so easy to point fingers, but at the end of the day, each player needs to work on themselves to see improvement.
