Just a little PSA for botlane carries:
Please please tell your support if you're going to lvl 1 all-in. Please please please pay attention to the support when they ping their starting skill. If they pinged it, it's important.
Story time: Got a Yasuo who tried to walk past the Bard support at level 1 to kill the low health Kalista we'd poked off (Yes, that's how aggressive he was playing). He got CC'd and then killed because I couldn't shield and he was too thirsty for Kalista to fight Bard. I ran in behind yas to throw autos at Bard and try to keep him off, and he used the level 2 he got from killing my carry to heal his carry so that she could run me down. I'm like "ok, that was dumb, but as long as I get my shield I can start putting Electrocute to use zoning off the enemy support. We can still win." I run down to the river and try to help our jungler get scuttle (because Bard was contesting), and Yasuo just pings missing at me like "what are you doing?". Bard steals it and I go back to lane still lvl 1, at which point Yasuo goes in AGAIN, knowing that I still don't have a shield, and we both die again. He blames me for not being in the lane to get EXP. Well he's right about that, but come on, everyone knows junglers carry in this meta. What was I supposed to do, not support my only hope of stopping the enemy's snowball? The 4/0 Kalista goes on to carry her team to victory. Final score: 0/8/5 Yasuo, 4/7/4 Ori (the rest of the team wasn't bad, I was able to support them) to the enemy botlane's 12/4/8 Kalista and 6/2/17 Bard. And yes, this is ranked. Anyway, yeah please communicate with your lane partner, especially in ranked queues. If i'd started shield we could have won that!
