Top lane taking camps

So here's the thought.

When the top lane takes the wolves which they usually do really puts me behind as a jungler because I am playing the slower junglers. To maximize my levels I tend to need to get to level 6 so I can start to do some effective ganking. Recently I had my top lanes rage because I stopped them from taking my wolves. I understand that I needed them as nocturne to get experience so I was relevant early game. I find this puts me behind as a jungler and the top up more, which doesn't make sense because if I am behind the enemy jungler can easily bring the lane back in order with ganks.

Now it CAN be effective. If you are riven, you can cheese your opponent because she just has that derp power early on. I see people take golems B and teleport back to lane with a clear advantage. I don't think this is healthy for league. I like the anti snowball changes that has been made and I believe something should be done to remedy this.

The only clear solution to this cheesing is to increase the damage of jungle monsters, at least for lower levels. This would prevent early snowballing by champions. It would make all junglers more viable because they are the ones to clear camps. Top can't rely on the early level, only ganks from the jungler. Machete should negate this bonus damage.

Do you gank top?

I really don't even get why top laners do this.

I have never played a game where the enemy top laner took wolves, then TP'd back as I was level 1. By the time they get back I am also level 2, and all they've accomplished is using up their teleport. Good job, I guess?

Your teleport is basically useless in the start of the game and sometimes you don't wanna lane lvl 1 vs Renekton, Darius, Lissandra, Riven etc who will poke you down. If you start with flask and do a camp, you can get cloth and tp...
