As an adc how can I stop the game from being decided in the first 10 minutes?

I understand if people play right and want to come back it's possible but being placed with random people the game isn't as organized as a premade would be. What happens in a good amount of my losing game is that bot lane is like it own world and if the jungler needs help at drag or bottom side of the river etc im there to help them but that's only about 1/3 of the entire map.

What happens at the other 2/3 of the map for the first 10 minutes on that other 2/3 of the map seems out of my control. I look at the map and I see a bunch of clowns make bad decisions, pointless engages where the top laner suicides after the jungler dies into a 1v3 or the top and jungler dive their top lane and give 2 kills to them etc. If I am not super fed by the time lane ends and am just even with their adc or not doing as good as them and the kill score is that they have 8 kills, top, and sometimes mid tower and maybe a drag what can I do to influence the game in this situation or what can I do to stop these things from happening besides pinging?

you can't

there isn't a thing you can do or say that will ever guarantee that the game won't be decided in the first 10mins

You can't.

The game is decided by your solo laners.

You can't. Try to play smart and scale. Solo laners whine about bot all the time when a lot of the time it is them determining the outcome of the game. I play bot and occasionally have a support or adc who is inting hard. But its far more common for me to have a top or mid laner losing badly, or even one who gets ahead and then blows their lead on constantly terrible decision making. "I have a lead so I can 1v5 all the time!" The high dmg gameplay encourages this because it gives them a false sense that they are good at the game when they solo carry once in a while.

I totally agree, ADC is not feels like a carry role instead more like ADSupport who always have to rely on success of other team mates to make something useful but this chance might never come with horrible teams. As jungler other hand you can control success of your team during laning phase and making more impact to shape course of game.

Thats why pro players says "junglers most impactful time is first 10 min" [slayer-jinx-wink]

First 10 mins? Game is decided at champ select bud.

You cannot. You have a garbage team, there is really nothing you can do but surrender and hope your next team is better.

You don't die.

You can't decide the outcome of the game in the first ten minutes, but you can leave it undecided by not dying, especially is you're playing a hypercarry like Kai'Sa. On bullies like Lucian and Draven, you should try to rack up a kill or two so you can snowball, but your #1 priority should be avoiding death at any cost.

As the ADC, you generate objective pressure by being alive. As long as you're up, your team has the power to take dragons, barons, and buildings stupid fast. As long as you don't die, your team can make a comeback. That's still on them, but you give them a chance they don't have without you.

Change adc to any other role and the answer is always the same.

You can't do anything to stop it.
