How do I fight against a fed adc as a top laner

So many games it determines which adc is stronger. I'd have no problem with that if it meant that my performance or me being equal to that adc in terms of strength actually did something. Adcs can get as fed as anyone in any other role and be in a better spot immediately simply for having a support with them that aids them. Even if I'm fed top if the adc is fed there is no "focus the adc" that won't work. You either splitpush and hope for the best or pray you win the teamfight because not a single person will let you touch that fed adc. This is a genuine question, against a fed adc what do I actually do against them when they get shield, peel and heals along with the added ability of doing massive damage from afar? What do I do?

It depends on the team comps and who you are playing. Looking at my last game our adc was far behind while theirs was fed. I just built Darius so he couldn’t be kited or cc’d as easily and coordinated with our jg yi. Sometimes you gotta just blast through the front line and get on that adc. Other times it’s better and smarter to hold their front line so your carries can work from to back. It’s decision making at that point.

Seems like everyone forgets the most important detail... Who are you playing?

It looks like you mostly play Jax, and the most important thing to remember for him is that he's a very strong counter against auto-attack focused champions... but not if you only E for the stun. Make sure to use it for the full duration while they're attacking you, so you actually dodge some autos.

It seems like you're a fan of split pushers, so if you're fed just keep doing that unless you're absolutely needed elsewhere. And even if you're doing that, if you see that the enemy ADC is ahead you need to buy Randuin's or other armor.

And it may seem like you'd be tanky enough by building Trinity + Sterak's + Titanic, but having a ton of health with no armor just means you're a prime target for BoRK. If they're crit, Randuin's helps a ton.
