PSA: Stop baiting your teammates

TL;DR: Check twice if your laner can actually assist you when you gank for him.

It's funny how sometimes the worst enemies are not even your opponents but your own teammates. And in this thread I emphasise on one such teammate - your own jungler.

Amusing, right? You're having an unpleasant lane matchup but you're doing okay, you're handling your lane just fine even despite that you have to use more potions/mana than your opponent who's feeling pretty comfortable himself and after some time you start to have issues managing your lane because you eventually run low on resourses.

That's when your jungler suddenly decides to gank.

But you're not ready, you have low mana and cannot assist him properly so you ping to fall b- NO HE STILL DESPERATELY GANKS YOUR LANE. And you are forced to follow! Worst case scenario ending - your oponent gets a double kill.

You, junglers, are so desperate to gank for me, your laner that you become completely blind on whether I can actually assist you in that attempt. You deny my pings, you refuse to check if my ultimate's ready,if I have my summoners, if I have mana or at least enough HEALTH to survive if my opponent decides to die with me rather than just die himself, yet it is so easy, the information is RIGHT ON THE FUCKING PLATE, IN FRONT OF YOU, JUST PRESS TAB!. And by the way, if I do die and you get a kill, THE GANK WAS NOT WORTH IT!!! Yes yes, YOU are putting ME behind and HIM ahead and next time I come back to lane, I'm going to be at an even more disadvantage than before all thanks to your bloody bait.

I'm not just trash talking, this happened way often to both to me and to my enemies as well. Literally today I was laning as Vlad against Yasuo when Kayle decided to force-gank mid when neither of us had ultimates and I didn't have any summoners available. We couldn't even start bursting Yasuo when a wild Lee Sin appeared and they turned on us and killed us both. The other day I was Brand laning against an Orianna and I got her to 60% health while being full myself, I had a big minion wave with cannon near me and that's when her Lee Sin decided to gank me at level 5, so I walked into my minion wave, right at Orianna who was walking straight towards me, and received a double kill because Lee couldn't land his key spell at me and Orianna got insta-rekt by stun and other spells.

You are probably a bad jungler if you bait your teammates into ganks but I will be an even worse laner if I actually respond to your "service". So if you decide to gank next time when I see and know I can't assist you or I know that we don't have enough damage to kill my lane opponet, I. WILL. NOT. FOLLOW YOU. I will leave you alone to your fate, whether you get away safely or die. And it will be completely your fault if the latter happens.

Sincerely,

Your mid/top laner.
