I'm of the opinion that I will gank your lane if you aren't super low and you don't have the enemy camping out in a teepee under his turret. If either of those is the case, well, tough shit. You are begging for the enemy to gank and kill you. You probably also don't have any wards in the river or tribush.
My personal favorite thing in LoL is when my lanes are competent and Don't REQUIRE ganks to get ahead. They ward and don't give up kill to the enemy jungler at an alarming rate. This leaves me to farm like a madman and get ahead of the other guys becoming more powerful for the upcoming end to the laning phase.
Then again, I main mid so I'm a pretty greedy guy by nature I spose.
