I could be 10/0, it just won't matter.

ADCs have so much asinine amounts of damage that getting ahead on them will almost always be better tan getting ahead as a bruiser

Okay so you have 10 kills

From your replays i don't see you roaming botlane very often and yet your whining that you have no say in the game? Toplane in majority of games is a SAFETY net for botlane or even midlane when used correctly botlane isnt doing well ? Roam bot with teleport or walk down after recalling and attempt to provide support

.. I can't really talk though because my mentality used to be the same as yours "WELL I WON LANE" ..yeah but that doesnt win the game y'know.. "I have 10 kills" Well thats great! but lategame if your team is still behind cause you have all the kills and you die... I'm not trying to be rude but being able to win lane doesn't mean jack anymore ..

Yes, that's how the game is designed. ADCs are weak early. If you shut them down early, they won't be relevant late game. If they are left free to farm all game and get kills, they have the potential to 1v5 late game. They are designed that way.

As a top laner, your job is to help them snowball bot lane (by TP'ing ganking bot lane), by attracting the jungler to come top, relieving pressure for your bot lane since he won't be ganking them, providing peel for your adc, and put the top laner (peeler) behind so that they are not as useful in team fights as you... this can be by forcing them into another lane to farm and not be present in team fights, or just making them weak by dominating your lane.

The point of the game is to setup around your adc so that they can carry the game. Hence the name AD Carry.

It's a perk if there is a fed top laner or a fed mid laner that is ridiculously ahead and can kill everyone (like a Katarina). However, a 10/0 Malphite who builds tank will never be able to 1v5.. ever.

I hate how as a bot laner I can get pooped on 2v5 with an incompetent support and somehow manage to stay positive, but my top laner will always turn toxic and blame me for their parents beating them as a child the moment they go negative.

Yeah this is super not true. Take tp and tell your botlane to place a ward on enemy side bush. When enemy pushes lane on your bot, tp in and be a hero. Roam mid if your lane is pushed and enemy top is stalling lane. Place deep wards for your jungler to capitalize on. You can even make a run for botlane bush after your first/second back (while tp is up) and gank that way.

TBF, your complaint is the same complaint for every role. You can be 10/0 lee jung, or 10/0 yasuo, or 10/0 cait and your team can just still feed hard and just give up. Actually, its worse if you're an adc since its way harder to gank as an adc unless you're somebody like Jhin ashe varus or twitch. And even then you'll need your support on board in case you get caught.

Best you can really do is try to keep your shit together. I have a terrible time with that. My good/bad games are usually determined by how well I deal with under-performing teammates.
