Champions

[Kaden]

Another thing be aware of is the two-part gank. If someone is running defensive summoners, there's a very good chance that you will not be able to successfully gank them. The first part, then, is to attempt a gank with the intention of just blowing their summoner spells. A couple of key components to this first part are to a) not use summoner spells of your own (with the exception of CV and ignite) and b) not to put yourself in danger by chasing too far.

Once they blow their defensive spells, the jungler can come back and gank them for real with a much higher chance of successfully getting a kill.

In order for this to work, though, you have to not push your lane while their summoner spells are on CD. In fact, you should make an effort to force the lane to move towards your tower.

Knowing your damage is a pretty big part of it, whether your the person in the lane or the person coming to gank. For example, if Tryg is playing Trundle and comes to gank for me while I'm laning as Ashe against, say, Corki, I would tell him there is no point. Ashe has very bad early-game damage and there's only one CC between the two champions and Corki has an escape. Unless Corki uses his Valkyrie to, like, farm while Tryg is waiting to gank, it's just not going to happen. It's definitely about knowing how champions perform at low levels.

EDIT: Oh, and if you are the one coming to gank, attempt your gank and then leave. Don't stick around to push minion waves out take gold from the laner. Just go heal or hit the jungle or go back to your lane or whatever.
