Need CSing tips please? :(

So ive been having a problem with CSing lately and i just dont know how to go about fixing it (Not on this account, i just made this for jungle practice).

During laning phases i can CS roughly well enough to keep up with the clock but during the mid game my CSing comes to a slow crawl if not a halt because once everyone starts fighting, they never stop and i don't know what do to in those situations to maintain my CS. If i go to a sidelane to pick up farm i either get ganked by the enemy, or im being pinged to help because my team wants to fight. BUT half the team im getting called out on how low my CS is and im not getting itemized fast enough in order to have an impact because im falling behind in CS.

I need advice on how to fix this problem? Whats the ration of farming vs fighting do i need to balance to remain consistent with CSing? If thats possible with hyper aggressive teams that leave little room to CS?

Play one of the meta champs that has STUPID good wave clear and just use your spells AOE to get 80+% of the wave. You only have to last hit like til lvl 3

If you're like me, you often have another player rotate/farm in your lane when you didn't want them to. This is another problem some players don't even realize they are doing. For example, mid lane roams down after you die, only to ruin the gifted freeze the enemy team backed on. Or your support doesn't die but continues to shove the wave only to (again) have the wave push away from you. Outside of this, you really just have to stay in lane. Dont follow your team to fight unless you know you are fed enough to kill. If you have any doubts, just ping your team and keep farming. Take jungle camps (when you have the damage/sustain to do so) and just try and scale. Not the most popular solution because your teammates might not enjoy it but as the AD you need cs which is why it's not that big of a deal to take a camp from your jg every now and then (most jg's dont even farm their camps correctly anyway, every game i see camps just sitting waiting to be taken for minutes at a time [here's lookin at you Krugs]).

TL:DR

1: stay in lane until strong enough to fight ~100-150 cs or your item powerspike 2: only fight if you know you can kill or you have a great support working with you (let the monkeys jump around, you're god dang carry and you need your CS) 3: jungle camps when available 4: set goals for yourself: "im ahead of CS on trist, if I can get my second item before her I know i can kill her" Look for situations like that and try to capitalize. Not directly CS related but will put you in better situations and probably help you focus more on CSing.

Im a shit silver 2 player so don't think that these are great tips but they do work for me when i'm not feeding my ass off :)

Honestly, the only thing you can do is tell your team to just stop being moronic and let you farm without the insecurity of them throwing a 4v5 and losing

Depends on the champ. If youre playing something immobile without waveclear your fucked. If you have waveclear fight for the teamfight cs. If you have mobility just roam to sidelanes when they start pushing hard.

It comes down to precision. Knowing the damage you can do vs the amount of health the minion has based on their health bar. Not an easy thing to do when you don't know the actual numbers.

What I like to do when learning a champ is to keep the number of my attack damage open 9take the +4 damage of doran ring/shield into account as well) and click the minion to see his health bar, then time my attack to kill it when it reaches low enough for that 1 auto to kill it. I wouldn't do it all the time since you need map awareness, but I find it helpful for at least learning to CS.
