It's 12 minutes, I'm slightly ahead at mid, and a 10-0 ADC just rotated into my lane

The ADC is ahead two entire items while I'm just finishing my first, and I have no way to defend my turret against it. The game is also completely over, without myself or top lane having even had a chance to impact it.

In a solo lane, the ADC likely would have only been 5-0, which is completely manageable. 10-0 is not.

Something needs to be done to revoke bottom lane's ability to irrevocably throw the game prior to the 10 minute mark. The winning side generates WAY too much of a gold advantage.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if a midlaner is fed ten kills in twelve minutes the other lanes don't get much say either

The problem is that it's insanely unrealistic for this to happen, while it's very realistic and even common at bottom lane, because the support often dies with the ADC, generating twice as much gold.

The advantage is also exasperated by ADC items' low gold cost; so not only do they have double the gold, they get more immediate power than an AP equivalent with the same gold.

It is unrealistic to also assume that bot lane will get/die 10 times and that every single one of those kills go to the ADC specifically.

Sometimes bot gets stupidly fed, sometimes it's the mid laner or jungler or top laner. Nothing to do in those cases other than hope the fed enemy has no idea of how to use their lead

Had a match last night where the enemy got first blood at 45 seconds, then their Vayne proceeded to rofl stomp bot lane the rest of the match and our twitch began to troll by getting multiple poachers Dirks and tears, not even bothering to avoid death. Was a bad match.
