What do I do in this situation?

So, I just played a game where I was playing mid Yasuo against a very skilled Taliyah. I either underestimated her damage or something but to sum it up, I fed her 3 kills pretty early into the game. Whenever I went back to lane, she could just kill me under my tower (I was hugging tower and trying to play very safe). This leads to more deaths, more gold for her, and basically, more feeding. My question is: If your opponent can just tower dive you (laning phase) because you messed up earlier in the game, what can I do to attempt a catch up/comeback? I started farming the jungles and everyone I could but it left me very vulnerable and I would have to go back much more because jungle monsters did a lot more damage to me than minions would normally do, and since I'm going back to base, that just makes me more behind. Eventually I roamed and I got back into the game and we won. I know this question might seem pointless cause I basically just answered but I honestly believe that game was just luck. So what would I do in that situation (the best option)?

TL:DR: If your opponent can just tower dive you (laning phase) because you messed up earlier in the game, what can I do to attempt a catch up/comeback?

if you've fed a skilled player early you have a few options:

  1. exit laning phase early

if you don't want to, or can't, exit laning early you can 2) call for ganks

when that fails and you feed more because their jungle shows up with the adc support and 3v2 you to china you can 3) sacrifice the tower without feeding

which you shouldve done before you realized you totally fubar'd your lane, at which point i'd 4) farm jungle and let someone else deal with it; then 5) ff20

I'm assuming you didn't really stay at tower and went out to Cs. What I do if I'm feeling like they can kill me fast is I just wait at turret and only take the C's I can get without getting poked.

as yasuo you should get some damage reduction and boots to go roam in other lanes or sustain to go get jungle stuff but really you need to just not fall behind that bad against a control mage
