PSA: If youre standing at a KD like 0/5, dont try to snatch kills

Instead, focus on assisting your (potential) fed teammate (if you dont have one, then it'll be hard for your team to have a comeback). If you are 0/10, you are worth exactly 50 gold. Get one kill and your bounty will be reset fully, and since you wont be a lot stronger with 1/10 (especially if you only killed the 0/5/25 support), you will probably still die quite a bit and thus feed more gold than if you had left that one kill to an ally and grabbed the assist gold. Just try to help your team get kills with your utility and CC because you wont be dealing a lot of damage without items.

TL;DR: Dont play carry if you feed; instead, switch to support.

Rather than your TL;DR I would say don't play a role you aren't comfortable in. Practice basics (last hitting, warding positions, playing safe) until you can figure out how to get yourself to a consistently good performance.

TL;DR Learn the basics before you expect yourself to carry your team.

assists raise your gold value as well. idk by how much. Also, if your goign to argue that you dont want them to raise their gold value, then that means they have to stop farming too. For every 1000 gold gained from minions, it increases your gold value as if you have one less death.

Also, it is unlikely that when ppl choose to play carries, they go in with the intention to feed. More than likely they had a bad game, jungle was camping them, or their support was bad and fed the enemy so much they couldn't do anything (it happens). A kill or 2 late game makes all the difference, esp since if the adc is behind, the enemy is less likely to buy armor and vice versa with the ap carry (after all if your adc thornmail shuts you down pretty thoroughly even with bt, and banshees hurts the apc pretty hard). Better to let them pick up kills when they can than to hog them all. After all, you can get fully built without needing to take all the kills and once you are fully built you have nothing to spend that extra 2k on. Better to help your behind carry catch up than it is to hog all kills and ask them to basically be support.

Yeah, because why help your teammates come back and be useful by getting gold to be able to get items. What should they do, just go farm? Ok, then get caught out alone off farming somewhere. I get that you don't want the enemy team to get more gold, but you can turn your game around, get kills, and die less if you play smarter. League is a situational game. Most of the time a fed champion doesn't need to feed more, as they are probably already stronger than the other champions. I'm all for helping struggling players in game. If that kill gets them the item they need to be relevant in a fight again, then I say go for it, just play smarter and don't try to 1 v X the enemy team. If the unfed person gets kills in a team fight and lives to tell the tale, good on them.
