So, from the other perspective, if i'm a laner about to get a gank, how do I make it much less obvious to my opponent that they are about to get ganked, without being too far away to help my jungler lock them down?
Great video! Body language is almost always honest, if you keep an eye on it you'll know more than you should.
I missed these.
If your lane opponent gets more aggressive and comes in for the kill
In general when you are open to a gank you should be in a dominant position, that means you are putting pressure on your enemy laner and have more time to position and react to a gank. If you somehow push the lane when behind well thats your fault.
Definitely the way I can tell there's an impending gank is when your lane opponent gets super aggressive, especially in cases where I'm playing a hard counter to my lane opponent and he/she goes for a full-on face assault. I have seen vids of pro play, but those people don't get super aggressive most of the time. They just act like everything is normal and then when they get a chance they attack.
