What to do as ADC with a not so great support

So i main ADC, unlike the average ADC, i'm almost never toxic and don't even blow up at the team, ever. But this does not mean i don't get a little annoyed from my supports. What do i do as an ADC when my support is an actual potato? If my support is always dying, pushing to far, doesn't listen to pings and can't land their skill shots, what do i do? I need a support in lane to do much, I mostly play late game ADCs(such as Vayne or Jhin) so i already have a week lane. Then if the other team's support is always catching me out, what can i do? This happens more times than not, i will fuck up and get caught by a good skill shot and get low on health. My support then thinks that engaging on their support is the best thing to do. If i follow up we bothdie, if i don't they die and blame me for not following up. I will tell them to not go in, but they don't listen! Yes, my Gold V elo sucks, yes I suck, but if i can get a good support, i can carry a game with no problems. The good support players out there got me INTO, and now the bad support players are making me not want to play ADC. I'm really at a loss on what to do right now... help?

Well the game isn't 100% laning phase so I guess farm up as much as you can in lane than try to put out your best performance on later fights? I know, not a satisfying answer. But all you can do is accept the fate that you're not gonna win the lane and try your best to survive.

I mean there's very little you can do if your support is a potato and the enemy support is playing like he's challenger tier. Supports are some of the strongest early-game champions because they're not dependent on items, so if yours is basically afk in lane while the enemy Alistar is stunning you under your own tower, you're just screwed.

It's one of the big reasons i like playing Kindred, because I don't have to play the support roulette every game in solo queue. Then you just have to play the "do they have Kha'zix or Shaco" roulette instead.

whenever I sup my adc runs it down mid (note I would rather sac the adc so I can live) I view adcs as expendable and I make sure I live no mater what
