Top lane ganks fail because of wave state, not mechanics. If you want ganks to work, you must set the lane correctly.
1) Freeze for Ganks
The easiest gank is a freeze near your tower. It forces the enemy to walk forward and makes escapes harder.
Rule: Hold 3–4 enemy minions so the wave stays on your side.
2) Slow Push Traps
Slow pushing creates a big wave that traps the enemy. When they try to clear, your jungler can punish.
3) Timing With Your Jungler
Ping your jungler 20–30 seconds before the wave hits the setup. This gives them time to path toward you.
4) Vision Setup
Your gank fails if you don’t clear vision. Use a control ward and sweep the river brush.
5) Dive Setup
Only dive when:
- enemy HP is low
- your wave is crashing
- enemy jungle position is known
6) If Your Jungler Ignores You
Top lane still wins through wave control. Freeze, deny CS, and scale into side lane pressure.
