What to do when support is uncooperative

I know this has been done time and time again, but typically the thread is about the player being bad etc.

I realize I can't choose the quality of my support, though recently it feels like the support players aren't even trying to win, and at minute 1 they've already decided wether were going to win or lose.

e.g level 1 my bard engages on the braum caitlyn lane, getting poked hard, i'm varus so i match the poke and we both back off. He took way more than them but for some reason he flashes in and stuns braum with a minion. I'm not in range to shoot cait, so I attack the braum; though the cait is able to kill the flashless bard before I can kill braum and he dies.

Something to this extent happens every time he gets back to lane, and he ends up 0/4 and i'm 0/1, due to dying in one of the encounters.

Now i'm not good enough as varus to not get out-traded and die when the enemy fizz comes bot and bard is dead, so I back off and let the tower die.

At this point its 0/7, and I dont know what to do. Bard wanted to kill them level 1, and it felt like he didn't want to play any part of the game other than fight. I asked him to back off and he told me to fuck off, then told me I was shit because I couldn't kill braum.

If I stop to type to him, the cait that is already shooting me takes my tier 2, and if I dont respond he just engages a losing fight.

What is the language I need to use to get a support player to treat me as a care package he needs to guard, rather than his vigilante buddy that is suppose to come get into random fights with him for no reason.

To be perfectly honest, if your duo lane partner likes to start bad fights, your lane is completely screwed.

i'm not complaining, and I didn't rely on him. I backed off, let my tower fall, and farmed with q, and I didn't talk to them.

However it's become a pattern now where I'm realizing why i'm losing, and I dont think it's because I could have won that fight at level 1, it's cuz that fight shouldn't have happened.

I'm just wondering what I tell them to get them to act docile instead of an african relief fund, without coming across egotistical or douchebaggy;

sorry for trying to improve
