Ok, serious question. When the other team doesn't have a jungler and you end up with a 1v2 in a lane. As a jungler, what are you supposed to do to help?

You shouldn't do 1. Defiantly gank level 3, then grab their buffs for early level advantage. Making it a 2v2 lane is losing your team gold and the solo laner XP. You can't let them push the tower too hard either.

In theory, there should be a rather large gold advantage for our team with the 2 top laners splitting gold (or making a top another ADC & Support).
If top can hold for me to lvl up for an effective gank, then between lvl 6-10, I find the jungler is scary strong. Usually getting a completed item (hydra), boots, and some mana/health boosters, plus the buffs.
Top usually doesn't hold on long enough.

I could always get mid to help gank and get a 3v2. Kill/push mid. Gank top.

I've started watching some youtube videos online, now with a little more of an educated eye.
1) Some junglers would do blue, then work all the way down to the golems, gank bot. Go back. Get golems, wraiths, wolves, gank top. etc.
2)Some would do bot, then gank bot, do blue side, gank mid/top. Do bot gank bot.
I assume both are effective strategies, but it's based on how the game progresses. So, that's a skill I think I'll need to develop better as a jungler (besides just mechanics and making plays.
