Avoid spamming random laughs when your jungler comes to gank

Almost every game as a top laner, I see this type of dumb behavior a lot. (Let's assume I'm on blue side)

It's always Level 1, me & my lane opponent be like, quietly passively farming minion goldz. Then around Level 3-4, for some reason, the enemy would just stand behind a distance back & spammed tons of laughs & taunt emotes. Thinking highly suspicious of it, I went back & around to ward the bush over the wall, and what do we have here? A jungler who has been staying in that same bush awaiting to gank my ass off.

I assume only these types of behaviors exists between Bronze-Silver ranks. So here's a tip. If you guys wanted an effective gank from your beloved jungler, don't make yourself look so obvious.

I've noticed this, and do it unintentionally sometimes. It makes for some entertaining encounters; one of my tactics as Nasus is to use emotes to try and distract the enemy so that I can either get a minion or hold them still for a gank. Always works. :^)

Whenever I'm with my premade and he's spamming emotes in the bush though, it's really hard to resist.

Meh, I spam 99% of the time, jungler or not, and whenever my jungler ganks, it's a great success.

I don't know about top lane, but mid lane has Lux so I can spam laugh even when the jungler isn't around.

You'll see this in players' movements, too. When the jungler is near, they'll instinctively start moving forward. A massive tell.

The trick is to make your forward movement seem unintentional (i.e. you've walked "out of position"). Doing that reliably's an art in itself though.
