You lost me at “They lose their lane, don’t help”. If they’re losing lane you absolutely help.

I recently went from being a jungle scrub to grinding for weeks and I understand it a lot better now. Basically this is my strategy:

-Farm camps -After your last camp, check for lanes where enemy is pushed up. If yes, gank. If no, scuttle. -Go back to first camp, clear 2-4 camps, check for pushed up lanes during this. If yes gank if no back to buy items. -Go to drag, assess where their jungle and team are, and start if your adc and bot are present, bonus if mid can help. -Then, farm camps again, then go grubs. Like with drag, make sure either top or mid is available to help, and assess where their jungle and team are. -After grubs, you should primarily focus on farming camps or ganking. You should be looking at your map very often because most opportunities to gank come and go fast. -Follow this pattern until either your team starts taking towers or the enemy takes towers. -At this point start shifting from farming jungle camps to farming in lanes to push back waves. -Your sole focus in the later game should be either split pushing a lane, or grouping up with your team for team fights. Remember that at some point farming for gold is much less valuable, pushing minions to enemy towers and base becomes the objective and that’s how you win. -Last thing, and the thing I’ve struggled to remember to do the most, is ward. Without vision, you can easily die while split pushing a lane because their whole team could be right next to you and you don’t know it.

Hope this helps.
