Depressurisation is one of the really underappreciated aspects of jungling I think. If your laner can hop back, get some health and items and know that their opponent won't get free farm or blast down their turret, it makes a massive difference to how they'll perform. They can actually start making plays again instead of just trying to last-hit under their turret for safety and risking getting dived. Even if you just even out the health disparity and your laner opts to stay it's a nice little equaliser for them.

Sadly most junglers seem to regard the only successful ganks as ones that get kills, rather than taking pressure off a lane or putting a little extra pressure on their laner.
