I am sure you guy can see my match history and i feel like i do decent per a game. I try my best as a adc to not get caught and to clean up. I get raged at for playing passive. But when the enemy have a Vi or a shy that can zone me and don't waste ulti unless i can be seen. I see no other choice but to play safe. I would like some advice to improve myself and my communication skills with others. I feel if team fights can be initiate better i can rise up the Elo faster and smoother but when i try to ask them to wait for me they refuse and become toxic and blame me for the lost. I really want some opinion to deal with these people who are short tempered. I ryze recently afked because i asked him to focus the carries and not tank/support.

Any advice will help me. Thank you LoL community and please be nice.

This is the classic problem of an adc, when to go in and when to stay back. Honestly it's a skill that isn't truly mastered until challenger (imho), so don't feel too bad about it. In my experience it comes down to how much you trust both yourself and your teammates. Can you trust them to peel for you? Can you trust them to dive their carry? If the former you can be aggressive, if the latter then stay at the edge to be a threat but without being threatened. If both then you've probably won already XD.

On the flip side an adc's purpose is to deal damage, and if you're playing so passively you are not doing damage of some kind (last hits, pokes, etc) then your wasting precious time. It's all about opportunity, never be afraid to take a chance if you see it. The easiest ones come from situations your support and/or team started, which loops it all back to being able to trust your teammates, and your own reflexes.

Also, on the champs like Vi and Shy, I do feel for you, those are the best divers in the game, maybe with the addition of Renekton. You're going to be ulted more than likely, that's just a fact. Farm up, get an early GA and ask your team to try to burst them down before they start becoming a problem. Gl hf!

I have a similar situation to yours, but I see one flaw. You don't have to ALWAYS focus the carries. Sometimes, if you can remove their tanks, you can push for objectives and they won't be able to do a thing. If you see yourself getting bursted down before you can do anything, getting beefy early can help you alot, such as rushing a item 3026 . Having supports such as Alistar , Zilean , Leona can help a ton due to their cc potential/ Zilean reviving you.
