(Advice needed) So you've lost lane.

Whether you made a bad play or two, got perfectly ganked or camped by the jg, are facing a hard counter pick, a personal counter pick, or some combination of the above. You've lost lane, are down quite a few cs, items, and going back is almost a guaranteed free kill for the enemy laner at this point. What do you do? How do you begin to recover and not be a total liability for your team beyond being an mia ping machine when the monster you've accidentally created begins to roam?

If you are a mid or top laner build defensive stats. The objective here is to make it difficult for your opponent to tower dive you, let you escape from engagements he tries to force onto you or allow you to assist the junlger in killing the enemy laner without you dying in the process. whatever you think will work.
If they are freezing the minion wave far away from your tower, they are intentionally baiting you into coming to try to CS so they can kill you. If you are strong enough take a jungle camp or roam into other lanes or otherwise put pressure on other parts of the map and gain advantages in places where the fed enemy laner isn't present. This will force the enemy laner to either shove the creep wave into your tower to destroy it or leave lane as well. Both give you opportunity to get back into lane and get much needed farm.
If they are shoving the lane into your tower, farm the creeps as safely as possible and ward the routes that junglers usually take for tower-dives. You should be building tanky so that he has trouble tower diving you but if you think he will 1v1 tower dive you, alert your jungler or neighboring solo lane. Unless extremely fed he will not be able to 1v2 under a tower.
If the enemy laner goes to roam into other lanes, warn your team mates, put wards in the path you expect him to take to come back to lane and then shove the lane as fast as possible. If you spot him on the map ganking other lanes take his tower. If you see him returning to lane, don't engage. Leave and go shop.

tldr - farm farm farm farm, build tanky and find ways to get shit done without engaging him.

When it's safe, ward as much as you can. When he's gone, push as hard as you can. Good vision = safe = push forever.

Depends on who your playing they may have more mobility to catch you. And punish you for pushing.

Build defensively.

Buy a zzrot portal to help keep your lane.

If you face an ap buy a banner of command.

Stay in lane to farm. If you can't..

Roam, try to help any carries. Try not to take kills because you'll reset your bounty. Only take a kill if your coming back and need a shove to start rolling.

Too many people go 5/9 and not realize they feed more gold than. The 0/10 support.

When I'm playing ADC and I fall behind and my lane opponent leaves I try to push hard. Especially on champions like Ezreal who have great escape options. Just be sure to ward up. If I'm still getting focused I'll try to farm up the jungle and wait for the bot lane to push or group mid with my team.

There are few options you can do. If you wanna keep playing : -Let them get the first tower and freeze the minion wave. You can get more GPM than other laner if you freeze it properly until mid game.

Buy pinks 100% even if you are ADC. By freezing lane you are contributing 0 actions to your team. At least give some vision to you team. Keep buying it if they keep deleting it.
Muting is important too. Riot made this muting system. USE IT. It is for your mind so you don't have to read shit talking chats. But also, don't talk. You need to just stay quiet and play.

If you really think it is over: -Just ff. FF helps you to finish the game fast. I am sure you don't want to be salty until the next game. FF and hold your mind and start a fresh new game. It is not a bad idea. You can run down mid like tyler1 and force the FF, but don't do this on every single game because you might get banned.
