From what I've seen from pro games on YouTube, they tend to maintain a somewhat neutral lane and use that balance to get their opponent in range to poke.

I like using that strategy as well. So, ganks are more effective, getting back to tower is easier, and I don't take any accidental tower damage.

Maybe I'm using a flawed strategy.

that's because of the level of play in pro games. ganks are deadlier and people are better at last hitting under the tower.

in your average shitter game, people will get maybe half cs under a tower and their jungle may or may not have downs.

there are some things to extrapolate from proplay but be careful doing that; the metas are different in various skill ranges for a reason

5v5 team games are infinitely different from soloq. You have to play like you have to take every objective for your team. 5v5 teams practice heavily with each other and know everyone's tendencies and are 9 times out of 10 on the same page. In soloq you've never played with anyone on your team before. The only way of communicating is through pinging and typing. Depending heavily on teammates to do what they're supposed to do will end up with you losing more than winning. I learned that the hard way.
