Support carry?

Is anyone having a problem playing ADC and the support tries to carry instead of helping you? This seems to be happening a lot to me lately. I'll get in game my support and I are about to get first blood I'm about to auto and boom support takes the kill and says he's the carry now. WHAT?!?! So I'm curious, is this is happening to anyone else or just me?

I'm a support main and I can say I'm probably guilty of this, although not intentionally. I'm S5 right now and most ADC's don't know how to do their jobs at this level and it gets frustrating because most supports can't carry and warding the entire map still results in the ADC dying. I'm like "dude you saw him coming because I warded Tri and River. Why didn't you leave?" No answer. But yeah. Even then I don't even try to carry unless I'm on a supp that can easily be turned into a burst mage like Annie, Lux or Zilean.

Since the mid season mage update support mages are in a slightly better spot to deal damage while also supporting.

Support is my secondary role and I play Sona .

In general supports take kills intentionally for a few reasons:

It is sometimes more important to secure the kill early in the lane than to let the ADC try to get it. Sometimes the opportunities to get a kill in the bottom lane presents itself early and it is better for an opposing laner to die early and get behind than to let the ADC try to secure the kill.
I take the kill because if I don't I will die. Most mages are squishy so sometimes you will need to kill the opponent before they kill you
The ADC is relatively unreliable or does not do much damage early (like a ). I can tell really early if the ADC is OK or new to the role
The ADC may need to blow a summoner to get the kill. I don't like having the ADC do this because I want us to have both our summoners up for the next time they come back to lane.
To save your life. I will sometimes take kills when the ADC may be winning the fight. They will pout and say "I was going to win that", but I really don't know if they were going to win. It was a coin toss and I was not going to risk it by not interfering.

A lot of the times when I take kills I do not do it intentionally. My last Sona ranked game I had 9 kills. I think I took 2 kills early intentionally, but the last 5 I just picked up when we were grouped in team fights against a team that built low magic resist.
