Can Someone Give Me Some Advice On What To Do

When Bot lane is feeding and I am not winning my lane? This is not a QQ thread or complaining, I am 100% legit asking what do I do here.

To elaborate, what do I do if by 10 minutes my Bot lane has given the enemy bot lane 8-12 kills and I am not exactly winning my lane, maybe we have killed each other or maybe no one has died but I am down 10-15 CS?

This happens pretty often actually and instead of continuously crying about it and not knowing what to do other then surrender when their ADC has more kills than our entire team, I am trying to figure out different things to do.

I would TP to help them but if they are losing a 2v2 pretty badly, there is no guarantee we will get anything from it. They may get some breathing room to farm, but i lose out on 2-3 waves and possibly even my turret going down. If my lane opponent TP's with me, we risk losing the 3v3 in which case they get bot turret. It just seems like there is no chance to TP bot lane unless I have killed my lane opponent. Usually they are feeding the ADC 5+ kills before I even finish my first item, so its even harder for me to want to TP down there since I am so weak.

I try to create pressure Top, but if I am not beating my opponent I am putting myself at incredible risk. Most likely my team won't do any objectives even if I spam ping them. So I can't rely on my team doing anything while I am creating pressure in Top.

I would roam Mid but I fear my lane opponent also roaming mid and us losing a 2v2. Then there is the chance that the enemy Bot lane, who is really fed at this point, also comes mid and it is a 4v2 or 4v3 (assuming our Jungler comes to our aid).

I am not whining here, but it does honestly feel like I need to Solo carry or we will lose. If I am not strong enough to kill a couple of them, we will lose. It is a lot of pressure and I feel like it is making me play worse, on top of the fact that I am not even surprised anymore to see the enemy ADC 6/0 by 8 minutes. I think I have a sort of "we are going to lose anyways so unless a miracle happens I don't care" kind of attitude nowadays and so I just need a bit of advice on how to start solo carrying.

Edit: Just to be clear its not like its effecting me outside of the game, I don't really get tilted anymore. I get irritated but once I close League, its usually done with. I just want to have fun in the game again and its hard to do that when you don't even lose anymore, you just get absolutely and effortlessly dominated... Winning too is soured by this.

Play smart, tell them to let the minions come to their turret and if you see an opportunity to roam, take it. A 3v2 is winnable regardless how far ahead the other team is.

Soloque will be horrible until like march when everyone is placed where they are supposed to be. I was platinum for the past two seasons and got placed silver. I smashed silver laners and got promoted to gold 3. I'm currently facing diamond players here wondering why I am. Odds are you're facing people way above your skill level and just need to take your time in the game.

Telling them to play safe only causes them to flame me, its part of why I don't talk much except to say "GJ" or "ty". So I should try to roam even though I will most likely lose my turret? Thats the main thing that is causing me to be hesitant of roaming, I don't want my turret to go down and then have my opponent free roaming.

My MMR was Gold last week, but then I went on a losing streak and now its Silver 4, according to OP.GG. I would say its because I am not skillful enough to deal with people at that MMR, but it seems regardless of my MMR the same issues keep happening. Not saying I deserve Gold btw, just saying I was doing pretty good up until I hit my Silver 3 promos when I suddenly dropped from 63% win rate to 52%.

When you're about to lose a turret, you shouldn't roam. Only roam when your jungler can cover your lane and you can move freely. I'd try to find a duo who mains jungle or a botlane duo that plays well.

I main yorick, I destroyed a Riven and she just goes bot and massacres my bot lane over and over again. Her and Annie just flash onto my backline over and over again because they are too garbage to learn how to position... Not much peel a Yorick can offer when they keep flashing on us, you'd think my ADC would learn not to be within range of the annie's flash ult...

Nah don't worry about it, I don't care if people are better than I with Yorick, helps me learn in fact. For example you take Ghost, I was not having much luck with Ghost when I first tried it. Maybe I will try it again now that I understand Yorick a bit more.

I tend to rush TriForce into Zz then either Deadmans or Visage, but it seems like you go into Titanic. I might have to try that as well and see if its good, i used to build it but not that early and I figured i didn't need more damage.

Looks like you roam a lot more than I do, I tend to just stay in lane unless my team needs me to TP somewhere.

Whats your thoughts on Warlord's Bloodlust? I use to take it all the time, rush Sheen into Death's Dance, then Triforce. I would dominate pretty hard with that build (when I was using it I had 65% winrate), but I was having a similar issue to what I am having now where my team feeds the enemy ADC and I can't do anything about them late game. I figured going more tanky would help the team more, but here I am running into that same exact issue.
