Is it worth to gank a losing lane as jungler?
So I was playing Xin and our mid Oriana went 1/3/1 against Jayce. I just helped other lanes cuz I thought it was not worth to help her. Is this wrong? won the game btw.

If your other lanes are already dominating, it may be worthwhile to prevent the enemy laner from snowballing in that lane.
If your other lanes are even, you are typically better off trying to give them an advantage than bring a losing lane back to neutral.
Usually no. Honestly if a player is losing lane by a couple of kills, you going there can do one of two things:
- Make it worst because you get double killed.
- Only help them out a little, but probably wont matter because they are already losing lane.
Try to help snowball the strong players on your team. Usually if my team is Top going even, mid losing, and bot winning I will apply a bunch of pressure top to swing his lane, and try to keep some on bot side too. Because once top and bot are ahead we can just all go mid and take over from their.
Usually it is better to gank your lanes that are already ahead as it creates an even bigger snowball, as opposed to just evening out the match. If your laner has been solo killed multiple times, they probably will just die more solo even if you help.
However, if you have a lane that can snowball super hard that is only a little behind, it is often worth it to make a play towards them.
O ok thank you for all supports :)
Can be worthwhile if the enemy laner is overextending, as laners who get a lead do sometimes.
If you can see the opportunity to shut them down, do it. If you can't, just gank where you can.
