How do you win a lane where your jungler "misplays"?

Instead of ranting about how many junglers have threw leads in laning phase and singlehandely lost ganks due to dives or baits, I am going to ask a different question. How do you come back from a lane if your jungler does something like this. It kinda puts me on tilt because all the work you put into gaining a lead is just thrown away partially or entirely out of your control. I feel like there has to be a way to still end up on top of the lane, or atleast get your team to come out on top.

Whats the trick to coming back in a lane where you no longer have cs / kill advantage, assuming your jungler is not going to gank you. And if there isn't a way to come back on top, what is a way to increase your chances of winning the game despite losing lane?

Why do people feel the only way to win is to be ahead/winning lane. So long as you had a decent draft all you have to do is farm up well and be passive until you mitigate any gold the other team gained from the misplay. Then it's on you to execute (and your team). Win lane win game is a very shitty mindset/strategy to go in a game with. There are 10 factors in every game that decide its outcome not one.

Because depending on what elo youre in you can be royally fucked. this account isnt so bad but my other account I get a mixture of plat and gold on the enemy team and I get silver and bronze on mine (idk why) . My jungler always comes into lane and just gives the laner a kill while im recalled at turret early game. They also do stupid things like trying to counter jungle, die even when i ping decades in advance on their face, and then go and rinse/repeat. Winning lane is crucial to being able to carry

If you lost the lead in your lane you can get it back if you give it some time. The best thing you can do is play safe. Farm, from a safe distance, ward, and get pinks.

You should warn the other lanes aggressively with pings if the other person is mia, so if your opponent ganks, he won't get a larger lead while helping his lanes. Most of the time they wont go for a dive early game, so if your team hugs the turret as you push your lane it should be fine. You could also follow your opponent, but if you don't have vision you could just be walking into another death.

Also, if you are able gank your sidelanes, if you are playing mid and you have an opportunity, that will help you catch up, and your teammates.

As a jungler, I usually make it a point to do a compensatory camp until the lead is taken back and I can /all MY BLUE. If not possible, I try to snowvall bot lane.

Otherwise, lose the lane in some cs but don't feed anymore, and wait for the ADC to bail you out or a 3v1 gank with the mid la b er.
