What can I do when my support is trolling?

I am currently playing a game as Ashe ADC with a Lux support in drafted normals. My support bought Spellthief's, but has decided to steal every single CS possible from me, while flaming myself and everyone but the top laner, who is their duo partner. I politely asked her to stop twice when I realised what she was doing about 5 minutes into the game when I realised she wasn't a newer player, just a troll. She then proceeded to flame, flame, and flame some more. She was encouraged by the other team (I mean, who doesn't appreciate a free win? It helps you level up and get OE/BE from capsules and boxes) to troll even harder, and seemed to have encouraged them to camp our lane, resulting in us dying over a combined dozen times from her egging them on, and them egging her on to troll harder. She even ended up not using her shield once in lane, but only to save herself once. I did mute and report her, but what else can I, or others, do in such a situation without screwing myself over?

its a tough situation. there is technically no rule that says you have to give all the cs to the adc. it is only custom.

but adc's enter the game under the assumption they will be getting all the bot cs. and an adc is pretty useless without farm so......

i dunno. i guess you just do your best and try to find an open lane later on to catch up on cs

CS does not belong to anyone . While a non-CSing support is certainly META (Most Effective Tactic Available) , just because a supporting is CSing doesn't make her a troll.

You can certainly adjust to her play style, since you are Ashe, you can focus on ultility through slowing and picking off enemies. Providing good vision etc etc. Change your build with less high priced.

There's also the play of rotating better to get to the locations of gold more. (team fight? Minion wave? Enemy JG?)

It's ok to let someone carry the game. If they are doing better a job at carrying, let them carry you.

You did all you can really - report her after the game and move on. [sg-soraka]

Abandon ship I guess.

what is sounds like is you don't understand how how you earn gold. you earn gold my last hitting something. there is no such thing as stealing gold. you simply didn't earn it. You were probs being toxic yelling at your teammate for earning resources for your team.

I would consider not belittling your support for earning gold. they might be able to focus on playing more if you arn't yelling at them.

Pick up a different game like smash bros and leave this rubbish community in the past... honestly nothing you say or do matters and when you lash out at people for trolling you get punished, so the best thing to do is join a different gaming community.
