Does anyone else feel pressured when support starts farming near you?

I can have perfect CS at the first 10 minutes as an ADC but suddenly the support (mostly ranged, but I've had a few coin melee supports do this) without relic stacks starts attacking minions that are low to CS for me, which is understandable as random strangers matched up together can't always trust each other to be good at the game.

But when this happens I suddenly stop looking at the mini map, stop trading, and forget to ward as I try to get the tiny sweet spot between being low enough health to last hit the minion, while being high enough health for the support to maintain their faith in my CSing abilities, and I tend to hit while their health is too high when this happens rather than too low out of habit, making us both miss the minion. This goes on until I back and get a lot of AD.

Does anyone have any tips on how to stop this from happening, or how to deal with it? I'm really having trouble CSing as an ADC sometimes because of it, at least when I compare it to my experience as Soraka solo lane and pre rework Anivia.

Haters will say "But why shouldn't supports take farm?"

I hate supports that dont push the wave properly and I lose out on last hits.

Supports if you want to help push the wave then attack minions that are not currently getting attacked or stop hitting them after they are half health. You screw up my timing when you hit minions that are almost dead.

You really should feel pressured, why? Well, earlier I was playing a game of support Zilean and I got quite a few kills even became god-like, Ezreal, he kept dying in the fights eventually he just decided to go and buy a sightstone and become the support. Just remember if a support is starting to take the CS, it means they're trying to be dominant and become the ADC.

So I should ask the team to report the support for trying to CS even if mine was perfect, implying that I've spent only a very tiny amount of time dead?

  1. Asking for reports is itself a reportable offense.

  2. There is no rule against supports minion cs.

Just ask them nicely if they could stop and explain why. If you get defensive, so will they. And it's not reportable.

If a support is attacking low HP creeps then just spam-ping him to stop. It's OK for your support to attack full HP creeps though. Sometimes you just need to push or get to a certain level faster than the enemy bot. I am more frustrated with ADC who play to lose lane (0 trading) and just sit back and farm (and still lose half the cs to the turret anyway, since they get pushed in non-stop).
