What should I do if I'm forced to farm under turret?

Last hitting not really the issue (2 shots, 1 auto for melee; 1 shot, 2 autos for ranged minions; RNG guide meh for cannons) but it's getting dived by the enemy jg or taking serious harass dmg with a lack of jg response because of who's sieging. i.e. for an Ahri mid do I:

force a 1v1 all-in randomly to take some pressure off and then immediately back outside of enemy vision
cede t1 tower
do someone unprecedented for a supp main like meh and ask for blue buff

things like roaming with minions at mah turret or requesting for a gank are generally out of the question due to circumstances.

If you're getting pushed into tower and the enemy leaves, you follow the enemy. If the enemy stays in lane, tell your jungler "Free kill mid".

Following your enemy when you're pushed to tower is extremely risky because nothing might happens and you just missed out on those farm.

What I do is just play super safe and ping MIA every time you don't see him on the map. Then place wards(whenever you have it) in path your enemy might take when roaming.

i mean you're not supposed to get every cs under tower if you're opponent plays it right, unless you're ranged getting pushed in by melee

Depends on who you are playing. A Leblanc and a Heim will have different ideal ways to react to a situation. The LeBlanc will likely want to follow the enemy. Heim would likely benefit more from shoving in the enemy turret and in turn getting an advantage that way.

Just AFK, but make sure you say GG EZ OPEN MID before you afk.

Really depends on the situation. You should be warding for potential enemy ganks or roams so if you see your laner missing you know where they're going and you can either decide to ambush them(if you're fed), follow them(to even the odds), or shove the lane(if you're way behind and can wave clear quickly).

If you're opposing laner is joining the team to take an objective like drag or rift, you should really leave to help your team if its able to be contested, i.e. your team is relatively even strength between levels, gold, item, ults, etc, and it's appropriately warded or can be.

Sometimes though, shoving and forcing the laner to stay to their lane can also turn the battle a bit too, nothing is more defeating or tilt inducing than tower diving the enemy, going even at best, and losing a turret as a result.

It's really tough to consider getting 'all cs' if you're constantly under turret, even the best players miss some and while it can keep you from falling behind, you're also limiting opportunities elsewhere which is a big objective of playing mid.
