But you dont get the kill, be greatful. He didnt have to come to your lane but now you have +150 gold, pressure on the enemy and possibly a tower.

You also don't have to worry about clearing that pesky wave of minions, I'll take care of that too.

Amumu ganks and engages on Illaoi Fiora sits and farms while Amumu dies Amumu pings frantically for help while getting massacred by Illaoi Fiora finally helps once Amumu dies, gets killed too. Fiora flames Amumu for "his mistake"

tbh i don't like when the jungler ganks when i'm not ready to engage whether it be because i'm at 30% health or so, or because i'm trying to regen mana, and i have to rush to save the jungler, but playing jungle i see how it is on the other side to, i don't have much time to sit there and wait because i have camps to clear, and helping them get gold advantage would help them much more than helping me, i'm trying to learn as a top laner a good time to have mana and expect the jungler

retreat ping was invented for that. When I'm laning with low hp/no mana I ping the jungler back and tell him I'm oom/too low. Alternatively I'll ask him to hold lane while I go base.

well its not always helpful to gank a lane, even if you kill the enemy. it always depends on what they used and what your laner used too. maybe he had to use his summoners for a kill only but the wave was pushed into him so the enemy laner doesnt even lose alot of minions. killing is only really worth it if you can deny alot of minions or not invest too much. im talking about toplane only tho i think, because in all other lanes nothing really matters.

Unless you ganked in bad moment and I'm put more than 150 gold behind.

Or unless you taxed me two waves yourself and didn't even reset the wave.

I tax 3 or 4 minions when I gank, because that's how much gold I could have obtained if I didn't gank you. Whenever my laner refuses to let me tax them, I never gank them again. Boy, do they get tilted!

Either don't tax at all or help them reset the wave ASAP. What you do is the worst kind of taxing that can happen, because you screw up their wave control allowing enemy to freeze making them lose much more creeps than that 4 you took, and they are right to be mad at you. Also you got gold from takedown so you lost nothing.

At top, that is. In other lanes you still should reset if you tax but it's not half as bad.

I don't usually tax, I never tax if I get the kill, rarely if I get an assist. and basically only if the laner messed up the gank.
