"Help me" Discussion.... Legit, I am at a loss!

I DON'T want to be THAT whiny guy. Legit though, the last 5 times I have played ADC, in ranked, I have been given supports who steal ALL the farm... I'm not talking about one or two or even three... ALL. Support used to be my main and it is in fact the role that I enjoy the most. When I play support, I NEVER steal the farm, I might take the siege minion or if I tank and take Face of the Mountain, I take some farm, but I stopped playing support because I started noticing every match the ADC would have zero AD runes and rush attack speed and then feed the enemy team.

The above is the problem I am facing, and I am sharing it with you so that you have a bit of a backstory... It's not to complain, so please don't waste my time and yours spewing salty hate comments. I am here to learn and gather information... As a bot lane Main, what do I do to help secure a victory with Supports who refuse to lay off the farm, or ADC's who have zero damage and rush attack speed first?

I have no answers but a warning. Downvotes are probably incoming, the boards can't handle it when someone insults supports.

I'm a support main and I don't steal farm. I can't believe you would insult me like that, insinuating that I steal my carry's farm. You wanna fite, m8? 'Cause I got like a half hour of CC and no damage coming straight at you.

In all seriousness though, if you want to climb, play mid or top. SoloQ is not a good place to be trusting a random ADC or Support. The only reason I still play support is because I love my CC and I really just don't feel like learning to CS.

I'm sorry to be this dick but the reason for this is Most people in bronze suck There are 3 types of people in bronze,

One who is ignorant
One who is trolling
One trying to get out. More than likely you will get 1/2 in your games. Especially if you are bot lane. I would not suggest playing bot lane to climb. You should play Top or Mid if you want to carry and not have to rely on teammates.

Report them

If they are literally taking your farm while you are in lane and forcing "survival of the fittest" farming then report them.

If you got 3 in a row then you are just having bad luck.

The best way to deal with this is to find someone to duo botlane with, preferably someone you can talk to in real time on something like discord, it prevents you from being matched with supports that take farm and being able to talk in real time gives you a pretty good advantage especially if you're against another bot lane that isn't premade.

To deal with supports farming or AOE-pushing the wave: The best way is to use the chat and be polite about it. Specifically don't use the word "steal" in any context.

"please let me farm" "please don't AOE push" "I want the wave shoved towards us, don't push please" et cetera.

To deal with bad-build ADCs. I suggest STFUing. Yes it sucks to see AS-runes ADC rushing a recurve bow. But IMHExpeience saying something to them before or after their item purchase tends to really sour the relationship between you and the ADC.

If you want, you can ask at the beginning of the game about build, and then kindly suggest your BF into Zeal alternative. But that has a problem of making the good ADC think you're a nose-to-the-sky know-it-all scrub.
