It's entirely possible to force the wave to push toward your tower despite what the enemy wants, but the method for doing that involves lane control I honestly don't know how to explain.

" Well. We tried to start the laning phase by poking and trying to overpower them. That wasn't getting anywhere so we instead hunkered down and played defensively"

I assumed it took you all of a minute at most to realize poking at a Soraka gets nowhere, and just sat at tower as Vayne farmed up forever, while they failed to actually do anything. Even if they didn't push and sat in the middle of the lane zoning (Which I don't believe you specified), Vayne should've ended up so far behind in cs that she never got to the point in which she could 1v2.

I'm curious how a Graves jungle actually managed to gank for you with your lane set up. In most cases Caitlyn and Soraka should've been able to just walk away.
