I usually just follow the jungler when I feel like roaming since he will have a much better grasp on what is happening on the map. If you go to gank a lane the enemy laner can push and make you lose 2-3 waves of creeps aswell as your wraiths, meaning you won´t even be ahead if you do get a kill.
The main reason they are in mid is because they need the XP and farm of a solo lane, but they can´t go top lane because they don´t have good enough escapes, being close to blue buff also helps.
