Can we give botlane some help vs 4 man ganks?

It's very frustrating how often these 4 man bot excursions occur and how frequently successful they are.

As a botlaner its frustrating knowing you can't do anything once they decide to take bot.

First team to 4 man bot gets 1-2 kills and drag all too often and regardless of how well one adc is outplaying the other.

You have 4 people going after 2. Of course it'll most often be successful.

All you can do is tell your adc AND support to ward, yes both of them. A ward in the bush at golems, a ward in tribush, and a ward in the river. If the jungler is willing to help, a ward in the blue/red spawn bush at the back depending on what side you're on, I say jungler as if your bot lane is behind a bit it's better if both stay in lane. Also to ward the bush(es) in the lane, in case the jungler/mid/top decides to sit there and wait if your bot is pushed in.

If you can see them coming, you're not as surprised and can usually turn that 2v4 in your favor, more so if they dive the tower. Especially if the jungler is near by and sees it, he can run there himself and make it a 3v4 if he's able.

If you're bot lane/jungler wards but the bot lane doesn't have the map awareness to notice anyone coming well... not sure about how to help there.

I have met plenty of people even if all of those places are warded will still bitch on how they got 4 man ganked. Jungle warded enemy Red. Mid Warded River. We see enemy JG killing red and Mid going down bot lane. So of course our bot lane decided it was the perfect time to push to enemy Tier 1 tower.

So you want to have an outplay potential against 2+ more people? They are risking a lot by all going bot, should be rewarded.

I'd just be happy to have ANYONE else on my team ward...

I would rather my top and mid that are picking their noses while this happens take a tower or something. Usually, mid tries to follow up after the fight is over and gets killed themselves. And Top is somehow ALWAYS at spawn when this occurs.
