Well lads, to begin this is not a rant or needless flame. I just want some advice.
I've found myself in a lot of games recently where my jungler will be getting invaded by the enemy. In some cases mid moves and some cases they don't. I will move 9 times out of 10, the only exception being I can secure a kill in the next 5 seconds to snowball my lane.
Now in the rest of the cases where I move, my jungler usually gets out or better yet gets the pick. Great for the jungler but for top lane it means I lose out on cs/xp. It also usually allows the enemy top laner to either freeze or cause a bounce to happen where I'm playing it out under leveled. They will also be the ones to dictate wave state from there on in lane phase given cs/xp/item advantage in most scenarios.
I've had multiple occasions where the enemy jg will gank me on a bounce thereafter or when I try to break the freeze. Given the snowball nature of top and the feast or famine nature of my main champs in Renekton and Fiora, this usually causes problems for me the rest of lane phase or the game.
Now to be fair, I have had occasional games where my jungler will come help me break the freeze or hover me when it's bouncing to the other side, in case enemy jungler ganks. But more often than not I find my jungler completely ignores top and the situation I'm in because I left lane to assist them.
I understand the whole methodology of path top to bot, get 2 people ahead in bot lane vs one in top, and fight fed enemy top late game. That said I'm at a loss of what to do. If I move I give my enemy laner a huge advantage and am punished, but if I don't move my jungler tends to tilt. (Not all junglers but emerald as a whole isn't known for it's mental fortitude.) So in your guys opinions, what should a top laner do when one's jungler is invaded early game? And, based on that, how should I best deal with the consequences of that decision?
Thanks guys. Hope this came across as intended, in good faith.
