Just had a team rally against me when my support almost had as much cs as me

I picked Jinx. Our support said she was autofilled support and was not happy. She said she had no supports and picked Annie. I didn't say a thing as it can work.

Immediately, we are tied at 6 CS a piece. Annie was hitting more minions than me. I pinged to stop and pinged and pinged and pinged. It became 20 CS for Jinx to 16 CS to Annie. I tried to leave lane. Mid told me to gtfo while top asked for my report. After all of this, you would think Annie would stop right? Nope. She kept going. We were then tied around 26cs a piece and I gave up and went support Jinx.

This is when the team started to get really mad. Annie defended her actions saying "I only took 16 cs to your 20", completely missing the point. The rest of the team rallied with her as I tried to explain why it's important for the ADC to get CS. When I asked the team why the ADC needed CS, the team would not answer except for "but she only took 16 cs".

I gave up and went full support Jinx. Sightstone and all. The team then got more mad at me while asking the other team for reports. I didn't use one swear word or say one insult to anyone. But my game was going to be ruined. Annie then started complaining, saying "Jinx won't farm".

Bronze reports have to be taken with a grain of salt at times. These people don't understand the game and could not fathom why an ADC would be upset at the support taking all of the CS.

Of course we lost, as Jinx support didn't work out, though I went like 2-1-4. Hoping I don't get banned, but really, what can an adc do without any cs when all other lanes told me to go away?

Any "support" going item 1056 for starter is intentionally causing problems in the lane. She was supposed to start item 3303 or item 3301 . While I definitely think she was in the wrong, going full support didn't help you or your team at all, nor you trying to not get cs. Personally i'd have done my best to farm and reported her after the game.

Since it's a one time thing nothing is going to happen to you so at least there's that. I don't think you are in the wrong and hopefully stuff like that doesn't happen to you in the future.

Well at least you didn't tilt on the off-meta pick, I feel like we're making progress here. But yeah, you'll see that in Bronze. People don't understand the importance of gold on the ADC. 20 lost CS equates to over 400 gold. That can be the difference between getting a Pickaxe or B.F. Sword and then people wonder why your ADC loses trades when the other ADC has better items cause you wanted to take some farm, which winds up hurting you both.

With some AD, perhaps in your runes, and certainly in your items you should be able to out last hit any support.

It is annoying that the support is taking the CS, they are wrong to do so but you don't really have a choice but deal with it. Your allies will never be perfect and will often hamper you like that. Ask them to stop, but when they don't you can't let it tilt you. You cannot control them only how you respond to it.

Switching to other lanes is just making it worse.

It's a flawed idea that every support is supposed to bend over for cs. Your cs may have been less than where it could have been but your team's gold wasn't off. As you said... you could have made it work. You just chose not to. Honestly... annie has a hard time csing. If you can't pull the cs out from under her you're probably not that good and should use the game to practice.

I just got flamed all game for that and other things a "support" isn't supposed to do. But I finished the game with the best KDA by far, max build, secured every objective, had the highest kill participation on the team, lowest cs and lowest deaths. And I took a few minions along the way. Why? Because later in the game it's almost impossible for a support to cs. Because I had to carry a km that couldn't play well at all.

Your post is egotistical garbage from what I can tell. You're not a pretty princess that's god's gift to the rift. Earn your spot. Work with your team. Don't tilt.

Haters will say "BUY WHY SHOULDN'T SUPPORTS TAKE CS YOU SKRUB?"
