If you lose the lane without enemy ganks, don't QQ for a gank.

You lost the lane starting on equal footing with the opponent. If the jungler ganks and puts you back on equal footing, guess what? You'll lose the lane again!

Darius luck flashed on me at level 2 and I lagged and he luck hooked me and got a lucky fb from his cheap overpowered bleed after I wasted flash! There was nothing I could do! I was pressing buttons! It won't happen again, I promise!

Hell yes, it absolutely will.

Even discounting the likelihood that ganking the fed Darius results in at least one kill for him (and if you die and the jungler gets the kill, you're even further behind), you two already stepped into the same lane at level 1 and now he's driving a Mercedes and you're living in a cardboard box. Why on earth are you expecting the rematch to go the exact opposite way?

Some match ups are more one sided, also some lanes get counter picked. Certain champions do better with a gank as they snowball and power spike. I've helped out a 0-2 losing lane to have it finish 4-2 in their favour. Your reasoning is completely flawed and not helping out that lane is going to have one of your players starved for gold and exp.

And giving the laner 2 kills back for the 2 kills he fed to the opponent will change this how? That's exactly my point: the guy lost his lane 3 minutes earlier, he's going to lose it again.

This is wrong logic. Different champions have different powerpeaks. Examlpe: Darius counters Irelia, so early gank will her a lot (its easier because Darius is pushing hard). If you won't gank early Darius will grow while Irelia will lose farm and fall behind hard. If follow your logic counterpicked lanes is doomed because even if you gank em this won't help, while we see different situation - even counterpicked lanes can do very well after good ganks.
