It's called getting fed by capitalizing on your mistakes. Learn map awareness, it'll happen less.

At some point however, the mistake becomes being in lane at all. Let me tell you a story.

I was playing Sion. The enemy laner was Riven. I managed to win the first few trades by using Q as the attack reset, and getting one lucky minion E. Then she hit level 3. And executed the perfect combo on me. I was very low. I had gone cloth and 5, so I popped my pots, and sat under tower, not even getting EXP from the lane. And Riven wasn't pushing it either. I walked just a bit closer to leach some EXP after my health had restored half way. And suddenly I see riven flash up to me. I was far enough away that she needed her full combo just to make it there, so I was confused for half a second. Until I see Aatrox flash across my jungle wall, dive in, and proceed to knockup-lock me to death with Riven. So I use TP to get back to lane, after buying another cloth and more pots. Only my jungler had ganked while I was dead, and fed her another kill. She was now level 6, and I was level 4. She dives me under tower, chunks out 3/4 of my health, and gets back out with 3/4 health left. This was immediately after I got to lane, and there were no enemy minions under the tower. I immediately popped my pots again, and hung back far behind the turret. Then Aatrox came from the bush next to me, and three shot me. Not even asking for a gank anymore, I carefully walk back to lane, staying just close enough to the wave to leach EXP. Riven flashes up, uses her skills to get to me as I try to walk away and slow her (I'm still not 6 yet, she is 9) and proceeded to auto attack me three times with her ult, use her ult active, pop ignite, and walked out. All under the tower. I died. So I went to mid lane, only I guess Riven had had enough in toplane, because as soon as I hit our mid tower range, there she is again, killing me. So I next tried to take a few jungle camps. By now the entire game is at about level 12. I just hit 6. While trying to take some jungle camps, there is Riven again. So I ult out. And she flashes in front, stops my ult, and kills me again.

After that, I decided my life was only worth one thing. I sold all my items, bought boots of swiftness+alacrity, and a Zeal, and a sightstone. And proceeded to light the map up with higher movespeed than riven's dash could catch up to. I died a few more times that game before we won. Thank god for that Orianna mid, for the teamfight wombo combos, or we would have been done for.

You know what you have? a knockup, slow, innate tankiness, an insane ult that again, knocks up. you could've easily countered riven's Qs with all that.

I'll do this as a jungler sometimes. It's just getting someone who is ahead even more ahead. At the same time you keep someone on their team out of the game for even longer. Granted I wouldn't do this if my other lanes aren't doing well or there is dragon to do, but if my team is doing okay then it only makes the game easier.

Also, what were you playing and what were your teammates playing? Sometimes junglers do this when the other lanes are difficult to gank or have no kill potential.
