When you gank a lane and kill the enemy laners...

Shove the lane. Get an objective.

Ive lost so many games because people came down bot lane, killed everyone, then left. Atleast push the towers dammit.

Problem is, you want your lane pushed. Some others want lanes pushed. Unless the bott lane is there to help push and secure the tower or objective, it would almost be a waste of time. Most laners before minute 10 prefer to have the enemy tower still standing because it reduces the area that they can be ganked while they farm and potentially kill the enemy laner.

Not only that, but if your laner is not there, and you take the wave of minions that the ally laner could have gotten if you just last hit minions, they could fall WAY behind. Not only that, but the longer the jungler is in lane, the longer the jungler is exposed and unable to pop out at dragon, baron, herold, or other lanes. They also leave their buffs exposed every time they are in lane. Planned on giving blue buff to your mid laner? Too late, enemy jungler took it and is giving their blue to their mid laner.

You see the problems that arise?

When you gank a lane, successfully, and get a kill, push the wave to tower. That's the point. Not saying to stay there for 5 minutes killing the tower, but rather to just push the lane to tower. If the laners are ready, try to take the tower.

The scenario im referencing to:

Mid lane ganks bot lane with jungle assistance. ADC and support are full HP. 2 kills happen and the mid lane and jungle proceed back to their farming in their respective areas (mid and our jungle) when they could have easily helped push the lane and taken the tower bot lane. As a result of not pushing the objectives like in this scenario, the game stalled until late game where the enemy team had a much better surviving comp over ours.

Unfortunately that is still situational because the adc and support may not want their tower down just yet and will tell you to back off. Ive seen it many many times before

I am generally the support. I never don't want my tower gone. Objectives = pushing power = pressure = win.

Tower gone = needing to go farther to get farm. Going farther out means more ganks. Going to other lanes takes exp and gold from that laner, at the benefit of attempting to take the tower which normally can be held steadily with 1-2 people vs 3. All you need is a good way of clearing minions.

If a tower is gone, you can roam to help push other lanes. There is no real reason why you wouldn't want to win faster unless they have an early-mid game comp. If you have more objectives, your minions take less minion damage and deal more minion damage than the enemy minions. They can passively push the lane for you, helping distract the enemy team leading you to victory quicker.
