Support mentality

I used to main support and have since branched off into each of the five roles to better understand how each champion plays. I've found that I still carry around the support mentality of dying to save a teammate. I find it difficult to stop, it's become a reflex and even though I'm mindful of it, I often slip into this mode more than I would like. It has led to many of my teammates blaming me for deaths and not enough kills. Such comments like "0/5 wow.." While neglecting the 12 or so assists and the 3 times I sacrificed my k/d to save them. Am I wrong to be doing this? I'm a very team focused individual, and I'm wondering now if I should just be as selfish as I can and maybe try and carry for once. I'm curious if anyone else carries around this type of role mentality when playing different lanes etc.

The adc is the one your suppose to support early game. i don't think it's bad, because that side shuts off for me when i go mid. Idk, it may help if you every decide to go pro. plus all teams need a captain that can support someone else when need ;)

0/5/12 isn't really a score I'd consider commendable. You really ought to try not to die when you're not support. It's okay for supports to die (at least more than the other roles), because they're usually underleveled and therefore worth less gold. The goal as a laner/jgler is to be ahead of your opponents in level, so sacrificing yourself isn't the best idea.
