How on earth do i stop my bot lane from feeding?

I've lost 6 games in a row because by 15 minutes bot lane was combined 0/15 at least and the enemy adc had all the kills and never died once, plus maybe another 5 assists. What on earth do i do against that? i can't gank because by the time i hit 6 they're already fucking done and i don't want to bait them to dying even more because they're so weak and the enemy is so strong. What do i do in these kinds of situations where one lane has just seemingly gave them free kills over and over and over?(and over)

#Bot Lane Always Feeds (TM)

Play bot. I'm usually rocking and getting fed off the midlaner, and then I look down botlane and the lucian is 9/1/5. So I'm starting to just take adc because I'd rather have an average game then having people feed every game.

I don't believe this is a consistent problem. I don't believe, in other words, that your bot lanes consistently feed and this is why your game was lost. It does happen. And I don't trust most players in my bot lane when I end up in another lane. But in those cases, bot lane is no less or more prone to feeding than other lanes. But if you really want to fix bot lane, play bot lane. It is the most prone to ganks and death, most likely to lose a turret first, and can be played very poorly. If you don't want bot lane to go the way you think it currently goes, you have no choice but to play it. And it's a fun lane :)

Well, what roles do you play? If you play mid/top, always call missing using 2 or 3 missing pings and ping "be careful" about twice near bot lane if you saw your enemy going down toward bot/teleporting. If you're jungle, get a pink or get the jungling item that gives you 2 charges of wards and ward bot lane so they have better vision. Obviously gank when possible.

Just checked, seems your Taliyah, so definitely do the things I said. Concerning them dying in their own lane, you have little to no control over that. Out of your past 5 games, it looks like 3 of them were bot lane feeding pretty badly. I wouldn't worry too much. As you play more people get better.

This one's a bit risky, but if they start dying more than 2 times, tell them to just farm in lane for a bit and chill. Empathize with them that it's frustrating to lose lane like this and they'll probably miss out on CS because they'll have to play super safe. Heck, even if they play super safe, if they get 4-manned bot lane and tower dived without warning, you can't blame them. They'll be salty AF. But just tell them nicely that they need to just farm up and play safe as much as possible even if it's frustrating. Maybe bringing them back to reality will stop them from trying to constantly fight people when they won't be able to win (i.e. feeding).
