Anyone ever feel this way? Supports/adcs

You get a bad adc while you are playing a support and you just want to start taking his farm and carry bot lane? I get that all the time and sometimes I do. I play annie support a lot on my main, i'm just leveling this account up but I get adcs sometimes where it's either better for me to just take his farm and carry or just leave him bot and roam.

It seems like you either get an adc who is so afraid of dying that he will continue to farm minions while you and jungle are engaging a gank or he will be to aggressive and die. The last game I was in I had an ADC tristana, I was poking the support and adc down and got them to lethal range, I told my ADC I was going to flash stun and he said ok.. I did and he just stayed back farming minons, I killed the morg support but sivir adc killed me and he got with with literally an auto shot from dead.

I kept my cool about it and came back to lane, he's farming minions and then at level 3 he jumps in on sivir who is full health under turret and gets stunned by morg and dies.

At this point I'm just like look dude.. I'm either going to have to start taking farm or roam because you aren't playing ADC correctly.

Needless to say I got reported, but the truth is 90% of the games Play bot lane is always going to be someone i have never played with before who I don't know if they know what they are doing.. I'll ask if they want to play aggressive or passive but with annie it's almost a given to play aggressive. Anyways I always play the way they want to play but when I know there a kill potential and go in and my adc stays behind to farm minions then calls me bad for going in when I know it was a 100% kill without risk of dying if both of us went in and my adc just sit backs and watches makes me just wanna take his farm or roam because he isn't going to be carrying.

When you try to communicate with them they are always over sensitive.. it's like you try to tell them a play and they agree to it and then not follow up and you die and then they call you bad.. Then when you say anything it's an automatic report.

I'm used to playing with my friends who just know when to go in with me or I know when to go in with them, with randoms it's a complete headache.. because you don't know what kinda player they are and if they can read plays.

So what do you do if you get a bad adc or support? I know there are some supports that screw over adcs too but my question is how do you deal with it or how do you adjust.

Holy shit, you're blaming him for not being aggressive at level 3 on Tristana? The fact of the matter is that this meta is risk-averse for bot lane. 90% of your games as ADC, you will not risk making a bad trade and being shoved to turret. There's a reason Annie support has such a low win rate.

That said, it's not against the rules. As an ADC main, I'd never sit there and try to take CS out of principle. That's just not fun for anyone. But I have refused to support plenty of players and just left the lane. Best to just say "going mid" and mute all if you do that.

Get a coin as your and upgrade it as soon as you can for your gp10. Next go straight to mobi boots and roam like a mad man helping gank mid and top when open Then get a sightstone and ward like crazy to help your laners

This is obviously bouncing back and fourth from your bot lane but dont be that guy who takes cs from his carry.

This question is much easier to answer from a support angle, as there's not a lot to do when you're an ADC with a bad support.

As support if you're ADC is really god awful, especially when you're playing Annie support, just roam. You can go screw around in mid lane, you can help the jungler invade/gank a lane, go screw around with top lane, just warn your ADC first so they don't suddenly find themselves missing their lane partner unexpectedly.

If you take their CS they always lose that CS, but if you roam, they have the chance to at least collect minion gold and do something.

If you get someone who is just trying to farm passively while you are supporting it is generally because they don't usually play ADC. At least that's been my experience. In those cases I just try to give them the best farming situation possible then start roaming once I get sightstone and mobi boots. Don't start taking their farm because they won't play how you want. That won't solve anything.
