Question on handling camping junglers
Post Body

Hey all!

Mained Fizz for years, but recently started playing Diana more and more due to loving her kit (I played her on release and loved her, not sure why I stopped), and also because I realized I was gimping myself from learning the overall game with Fizz's kit, because you basically don't have to worry about the jungler.

Snowballing on Diana (mid, I don't jungle, at least not very well) feels really good, but it's given me a tendency to be aggro in lane. This gets punished by junglers who either camp me or are watching for my aggression and punish it. Had a particularly frustrating game where literally any time I stepped beyond turret range and tried to harass the enemy Galio, his Lee Sin pocket pick (it was a 5-man premade in flex) was right there, and I'm not joking - EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

I was duo with a friend over the phone and said "watch, Lee Sin is nowhere to be found, he hasn't been mid in a minute because I'm terrified of him. I'm gonna step out of position and engage on this Galio, and he'll be RIGHT there." Sure enough, about 2 seconds after I engaged, Lee was there with a full combo saved just for me.

I guess my question here is - how do you guys handle this? I tried roaming and he was still right there, waiting in my bushes, or coming off of blue. He was just a fantastic jungler and hard-carried the team to victory. Do I just content myself with farming and sitting at turret? It's a struggle to do that because:

A) It's boring. Like. Really boring. This shouldn't be a point, but it is. Boredom makes people do stupid things.

B) It gimps Diana because she needs to get to 2-3 items to really feel powerful for the late game, and it delays that.

A second part of the question is - how do YOU play the lane phase? If you don't have jungler vision, do you just play back, or do you make risky plays to secure kills?
