Diamond support vs Plat support

IDFK but I just duoed with a diamond support in ranked and won lane 3 times in a row as vayne, coming out of laning phase with a 70 cs lead and 3 kills 2 times, and a 50 cs lead and 1 kill the other time.

I lane with plat supports and my support doesnt ward, they have zero pressure, and they flame me when i dont constantly shove lane. Even when I have an obvious advantage and can strangle the opposing adc for cs to the point of her being an entire item behind.

How do I climb without a duo... is it even possible as ad to climb plat solo? Do i just try to forsake lane phase and choose an adc that can cs in a 1v2 scenario, and try to snowball midgame? Idk.

The diamond support said I know what im doing and they dont understand why im stuck. ELO HELLLL

It's because there's a difference between plat and diamond, both plat and diamond have mechanics(micro) sense like well timed flashes, last hitting etc but plats game sense (macro) sucks compared to diamond like telling where the enemy jungler is withoutwards at all times and how to abuse both teams champs for objectives when they make a mistake.

if your support is flaming you, then THEYRE the problem, cause it either means:

theyre not warning of incoming ganks
theyre not protecting properly
they just don't synergize as well with your champ vs the enemy.

now I'm not saying its ALWAYS the supports fault, cause sometimes you can misplay something or not go in with the support when the opportunity presented itself (after all, nobodys perfect). when people flame, there is always at least a little truth to what they are saying. it just takes SO much communication to win bot lane, which is why in champ select I always paste that discord address for the support
