Any time i jungle in normal games, 2 or 3 of my lanes are losing horrible. Trash picks, no supports, sometimes no range at all.
Its not like they simply get outfarmed somewhat, they literally stand at their towers with 200hp and no mana while their enemies are completely full on everything. Waiting for someone to have mercy and dive that last bit of hp, because they didnt pick cc and wouldnt be able to use it for lack of mp anyway.
I dont get it.
And then they're all over me to come gank. Like that would result in anything but an 0-2/0-3.
In the rare case i have a decent gank coming, they jump in before i'm even there and die horrible deaths while i'm still walking to their lane for a gank i announced.
How. Why. What can i do 
I even tried offbeat ganks, taking boots early and whatever gank-skills there are for the respective jungler. Bushganks with ww (derp derp) before 6.
I'm feeling like saintvicious, only the bad botlane is ALL LANES and i dont know half as much about jungling.

I don't know what to tell you in terms of advice, but I know how you feel.

So I tried Jungle Riven out last night. Really, really good. Even without a rune page (yeah, I know, but I just spent all my IP on Singed and my Caitlyn rune page) I cleared pretty fast and picked up 2 early ganks (level 2 or 3). Singed and Olaf were laning against our Maokai, even with him almost oom I got in, QQQW was enough to damage/CC them and pick us up the kills.
Probably not the best (Lee Sin, Udyr, Noc), but just wanted to say, she's a good pick for the role.

Haven't seen this myself. Is there any details about how this happens? It might be something in the collision check algorithm. For example, it might just check if you're close enough to a wall or not as opposed to whether you actually hit the wall. Also, turret debris counts as terrain too.

Nah, sometimes you aren't even close and get stunned.

I know poppy stuns wherever on bot of dominion, regardless of where you slam them. So long as you are in that space where the Health Packs are.

Non Sequitur: How necessary is background music when you're streaming?
There's a relatively small LoL group based out of the Elitist Jerks forums that has a number of people looking to improve, so I've started streaming to help them out. All I do is constantly talk about what I'm doing and why while veering off on relevant tangents, so I figured music wasn't necessary since I was always saying something. However, one person told me I needed music.
My take on it is that music is distracting from what I'm trying to accomplish (I would hazard a guess that outside of hilarious commentaries on trumpets and midgets, Day9 would say the same), but I don't like dismissing opinions outright so I thought I'd get a second (and third/fourth/seventeenth) opinion.
Also, so many stream threads. Do we really need separate threads for everyone?

It sometimes happens even if you E down the lane, right in the middle of the lane. Not even close to any walls. So far it all seems entirely random even though I've had it happen dozens of times.
It's supposed to be even worse/more frequent if you use E Poppy vs Poppy. You might want to try that if you are looking to reproduce it, but I can only remember being in that situation once. It WAS kinda frequent that game though.

I personally hate music on streams. I can play music myself just fine, and it'll always be the music I like. Sure, nothing wrong with showing people what music the streamer likes to listen to, but that can also be done by linking an internet radio station or w/e.
But I guess people are too lazy to click a link, and some don't want to watch streams if they don't have music even if they don't really like it anyways...
Or is there something special (magic?) about listening to the same music as someone else who doesn't know you and possibly sits 1000 miles away? With a 3 minute delay of course, so you don't actually listen to the same music at the same time.

Sequitur: Where can I find your stream? ^^
I would agree most music would be distracting (dubstep and mainstream songs) but if you played some Oscar Peterson in the background like Loci I think you'd only be enhancing the experience

trying to queue as a duo in unranked 5s, god damn i hate riot. their penalisation system is banning us for 6 minutes constantly because 1 of us cant see the others as connected so it quits the game, why not just add a button for people to leave without penalty (collapsing the game) if someone cant connect properly, then it would waste less time for everyone.
then if you have the create game screen open and you recieve an invite, click accept and it says you cant accept because you own a game, even if the room is empty, but it also throws away the invite, its just useless and annoying.
raaaeegggg
also is it me or are assassins op in low elo / unranked games? they hard counter retards and so often get like 5 kills in the laning phase -_-

You know what hard counters retards? Not being a complete retard.

if a stream has music in english i mute it
no exceptions
the thing about music is that no one is going to agree on what they like listening to, so it is highly likely that you will lose at least a couple viewers because of it. also if you're talking a lot it would be bad if people muted you because they don't have the same musical taste as you. and people can always play their own music in the background.

People complain one way or the other, so I just play my music cause fuck those kids, mirite?

you can't make the rest of your team not be complete retards though. so not only do you have to not be a complete retard, but you also have to assure that you're the one laning vs. said assassin.

I discovered many new bands and even genres listening to background music on stream, so i don't really mind it. As long as it doesn't disturb commentating/talking from the streamer and important gameplay sounds, I never mute a stream. (Of course some streams are worth muting BECAUSE of the guy talking on the stream ^^)

Lol everytime I play non ranked to test out builds/champs I am always amazed at the lack of knowledge even at lvl 30. I played as Cho cause I just bought him (and God Damn his Gentleman skin OWNS so hard) and I was on a team with Annie/Talon/Riven/akali and the Annie kept saying how we were going to lose because we didn't have any carries lol. Thank God normal is so terrible because whenever I try to learn a new champ I end up pushing buttons like im playing my main.

Meh you'll meet the same people in ranked matches ... -_-.. I'm pretty sure annie thought that you needed a "Ranged" dps carry to win, and was under the assumption not having one is an auto loss.
