I don't know if you knew, but the currently most popular toplane tactic in higher tiers is pushing top and attempting to zone the opponent until you can leave lane for ganking or getting better items, while the enemy loses farm to turret. It has been this way since the jungle was changed in S3. It's way more risky to gank prior to level 6 now, as it will set back the jungler remarkably if he doesn't get kill or assist, and the pressure junglers apply earlygame is thus way lower. Unless he sets aside jungling and babysit, in which case you've alrady lost all effectivity unless the enemy team is completely and utterly useless, in which case you would probably still have won anyways.
