What's your favorite lane(s) to gank?

This is mostly for junglers, but what lane(s) do you prefer ganking? It can be for pragmatic reasons (dragon) or favoritism (ganking top for TP backup). Anything, really.

I've only had to jungle a few times (I main supp, so almost always get my role), but I enjoyed ganking mid most and bot second. I like to gank mid because there are two sides to come from which usually both aren't warded, and fed mid laners are often really OP. Counter jungling after that so I can get my own buffs and still give ours to my team. Bot next because double kills :3 Top last because they're usually tough to gank imo.

But this is all from someone that doesn't jungle much.

If there's an opponent raging or whatever in chat and my side isn't behind too much, I gank that lane. A lot. I tend to focus mid, though, if you could get a look at my tendencies, that's probably what would show on the chart.

I prefer to camp bottom, it always seems like they ignore their wards. Mostly due to focusing on cs.

As a Rammus player, I don't so much "jungle" as I do kill neutrals until lvl 3, then gank for 20 minutes to win the game. I typically start krugs-red-raptors, which leaves me at about 2/3 to 3/4 hp to gank.

I often to mid from there because i'm right there, and if I get a good chance, I very often burn flash to get on top of the enemy mid with powerball, then lock them down. Unless my laner is super weak early or oblivious, this is basically a lane winning move, either killing or forcing out the enemy mid. I then go to one of the side lanes, usually top, and just try to make leads there.

I have won games simply by continuously ganking everything. I had both top and mid complain about camping, though given that they'd each died to my ganks 3 times, it's probably not 100% unjustified. If I do really well, I become a tanky force to be reckoned with, as all those assists give me a strong gold lead. I then do whatever the hell I want and kill things because Rammus is amazing.

I like ganking top a lot. I feel that it's really easy to gank top even when it's warded. Alternatively, botlane can be either really easy or really hard to gank for me, usually go with lane ganks.

The lanes I gank vary frequently because for me I don't gank based on lane. I either look more to get certain champs fed/shut down certain champs or just where a champion with no escapes is. I also like to see if I can get a good sense of which players on the enemy team are the most susceptible to ganks, I will typically try to focus my ganks there. You can generally get a good sense of what kind of player someone is by looking at their name, playstyle, and champion choice. For example in my experience, anyone who puts SKT T1 or C9 at the front of their name (without actually being on the teams of course) and choses a champ like Riven, Lee Sin, or Zed (flashy play making champs people whine about on the forums a lot) is probably pretty bad at the game and will flame their team if I make them lose lane. Seriously though that statement is no joke. Literally every single time I see someone like this they lose lane and then flame.
