Learned an important lesson today: Don't gank for your solo laners when they're absolute shit at setting up ganks, no matter how much you don't want to gank bottom.
I was always averse to ganking bottom lane, but I ended up snowballing our ADC and that's how we won. The first time I went mid I was stupid and chased into the edge of tower range and got myself killed while burning their Ahri's flash. Then I went top where our Yasuo, who had already died once, got himself killed by Darius, but I was able to pick up a kill anyway.
Went mid again because our Nidalee wouldn't stop bugging me for a gank (never do this as a jungler). Swept the brush, no ward. Ahri was playing far enough away that she would just walk away if I tried to E+Q in, so I stayed in the brush for like 20 seconds waiting for Nidalee to fight. She stayed behind her creeps and looks like she was waiting for me to engage. Luckily Ahri went to ward the brush I was in, so I E+Qed and burned her ult, but I couldn't really do anything else since she had two more dashes. Nidalee was still behind her creeps and did literally nothing to help.
Nidalee starts pinging for a gank again as I recall to red, starts flaming when I go straight to red from base. Yasuo dies top again, 3 kills behind now. So I'm like fuck it, I'm not ganking for either of you two anymore.
Took red. Took blue. Went straight to bottom lane. Traded 2 for 1 in a 3v3. Snowballed Twitch from there. Won the game. Yasuo ended up feeding and Nidalee didn't really do anything else.
