I had an interesting strategic discussion in game earlier and I'd like some additional opinions. Say you're jungling. One of your lanes is winning, one is losing, and one is about even. Is it best to focus your ganks on the winning lane to help them snowball harder and carry, the losing lane to do damage control and help them catch up, or the even lane to help tip the balance? Curious to hear people's thoughts.
Help the winning lane snowball.
Usually better to push the winning lane, but it really depends on the match up and how badly the 'losing' lane is losing. Some champions can rebound pretty well, for others it is quite difficult. If you feel ganking this lane will throw the balance back in your favor, do it. However, if the player is at all salty or making stupid plays, let them lose. By ganking for a losing lane, you are risking further snowballing the enemy. Push the other lanes and force the 'losing' laner's opponent to back off to assist the other lanes, relieving pressure for that laner so they can recover and get back into the game.
Depends just how lost the losing lane is.
If its something like your top laner fed 6 kills to the enemy Illaoi before 12 minutes. Its unsalvagable. A gank would result in a double kill for lady tentacles. But if they are only behind a small amount, try and gank for them and see if you can turn it around.
If the lost lane is unsalvagable. Gank the lanes that are ahead and further push their lead so they have more carry potential late game.
