Support Question

Not a Support main never want to be,but I have a question how do you guys deal with the ignorant adcs? That is the best I can come up with, I don't want to sound mean or even insult them.But sometimes you have you play it(Pick order of course).But to my point,I played a game 8-9 min in. I "think" its a good time to go in.Well it doesn't go well,we have to pull back.I blow EVERYTHING in my arsenal to keep my adc alive.First thing she says?"I'm done this Naut garbage he let me die"?I can understand this naut is a idiot, he has terrible decision making.But seriously I let you die?I did everything that my summoners and champion lvl allowed to keep you alive.I'm a silver player guys,not an amazing player by any means,but I did my very best try to keep my adc alive.but I would like your feedback on this,as I don't get insults very often.But when I do I take note and would like to improve.I wish I had fraps,or some record of it to show you guys, where I messed up and even tell me where I could have done better on saving my adc.I probably did mess up somewhere down the line and could have done a better job on keeping her alive.

I mute them and I spend more time feeding a better carry.

Like just now in my last game, my Morde kept walking into Tahm and getting eaten and killed over and over and over (was 1/14/1 at one point), so as soon as laning phase was over and I could roam I never followed him around and went to protect the mid and top laners.

Once everyone starts roaming, I avoid them since they don't pay attention let alone appreciate the backup. Shame we have to do this repeatedly in a day's worth of gaming.

The thing is I mute people all the time,hell maybe thats why I don't get many insults.Maybe I'm worse than I let on.But it's always when I give humans the benefit of the doubt, and not mute them they go and make me wonder why I even bothered.

if you don't understand the insult, then ignore it. actually, wait, I take that back... ignore all insults. always. mute the player and move on with your life, because it's a better life than theres :P JK I'm not mean like that

like, on occasion I have someone who says something that helps me understand my mistakes. but over 90% of the time that someone says something to me, it's rude commentary and is rather meaningless. it's perfectly OK to ignore such meaningless things.

Roam. Support your other lanes. Gank with your jungler. There's no reason to keep supporting your adc if they're probably not going to be doing much for the whole rest of the game.

Honestly knowing when to engage in bot lane comes with experience. Knowing match ups is key. That being said muting is the best option. If you feel that the ADC is just giving up, roam to mid lane. If you are playing naut, roam mid when you hit 6 and get that mid a kill. If the ADC is going to whine like a toddler, then let them while you get the rest of your team ahead.

As a main support.. I see this a lot. I also see the adc not going in when I know the person will die ( very low hp/no summs) so I will kill them. Call me ks'er w/e idc, I got you an assist instead of them backing and you getting no gold. Either way, mute ppl a lot. Try to ask them to ping or listen to your pings, but mostly ... mute them. Roam and feed other ppl. You are the support for the whole team.. not a pocket healer/supp for 1 person like some adcs would like to think.
