Why are ADC mains often salty?

Past few games, I've encountered some very salty players, and I've found that the most salty ones have been Vaynes. Why is this the case, that Vayne mains are as salty as they are?

The most recent incident completely tilted me, which is why i am posting about my distaste for these people now.

I went support, as Sion (not the best situation I know, but the team was begging me to do so, and we needed a tank), and we went into lane. From minute one, the Vayne immediately said:

V: mate **** off stop touching my cs

even though I had just 1 cs after 2 waves had gone.

she then proceeds to make the dumbest comment on the face of the earth a few minutes later

V: this sion is so **** dumb V: get V: out V of V: my lane V: you're supposed to body block the blitz shots for me

At this point it was still early game, and I had a better KDA than her, and I had already body blocked 2 shots for her earlier on, which somehow both led to HER deaths. I'm not going to body-block, for a Vayne is who already flamed off at me, and WALKS INTO the path of BLitzcrank hooks.

I later muted her, but by that point I was so tilted that the we lost.

I'm not saying all ADC mains are salty, but out of the playerbase that are toxic, a majority of the salty people play ADC, and think that they have the entitlement to blame the support?

A lot of people that play ADC believe they're top tier material and any call they make is challenger level skill and if it doesn't work, well, someone else must have messed up cuz it's impossible for them to mess up.

Because ADC is a make or break role in the current meta. With assassin midlaners and junglers being favored, they roam at 6 and come bot lane. I speak as an ADC main, so i know from experience. You can be 4/0 with a Luci/Jhin/Ez or any ADC and then mid comes bot and you cant go scale anywhere the rest of the game because mid gets enough kill on you to drive their opponent out of lane, then come bot and get a couple more kills. All in all ADC is both satisfying and enfuriating to play, because if your good you can solo carry the game almost, but if you get camped a huge portion of your teams dmg is gone entirely. ADC players get salty because they feel like they need to be able to contribute, especially as an ADC like vayne, and they just cant anymore, so its very frustrating. Throw in a trash supp sometimes and its just rediculous

It's because there aren't really any ADCs you can get behind on and do well with. Every little bad thing that happens tilts you a little more.

!!!!! ..... ya know I noticed that..

1st Encounter: If I recall right this was a Normal Blind pick match. Vayne ADC and myself Support Soraka. I was lagging off and on during the game, I told my ADC partner immediately. I cannot control my internet and people experience lag.. it happens. Off and on, during these Lag spikes.. my support would hit a minion on auto attack. I would apologize, but the Vayne got so freaking pissy that I was hitting maybe 1 or 2 minions on accident. The game went FINE in spite these accidents and got a victory. I still apologized Im still newish with Normal Rounds. Sorry but you cannot practice on bots forever, Players are a different experience.

2nd Vayne Encounter: The Vayne would not proceed to attack LOW Healthed Champions. Now I understand fully that Feeding is VERY important for a ADC Champion. That is the income to get items and all that. During this second Encounter, I was playing Soraka again.. and I was feeling pretty good. Have not lagged, did not touch a single minion, still getting gold and poking those champions like no ones business. GREAT k? Vayne was still complaining that I was taking CS... Then when I backed off a tad bit to assure the champion I wasn't.. he/she told the whole two teams to Report me because I was standing around doing nothing... This "Doing Nothing" Soraka was poking at champs, letting this Vayne Feed plenty for gold and was giving chances to take down Enemy champions. Did things stop there? oh no... Vayne kept on complaining.. In FACT Towards the END of the match, Vayne ended up as one FED strong Champ because of my help!

3rd Encounter: Today!!!! I am constantly working on bettering myself as a Support. Shoot I just literally ASKED for advice because this very past game with a Vayne left me boiled, confused and.. honestly angry. I asked Advice to Better MYSELF and to see how other supports work there magic. But to the point.. Today was another Normal Blind Pick match. Vayne Bottom, and myself as LULU support. Now.. The other team actually had a good combo. Tristana and Sona. k? Sona is gonna be a big threat support if played correctly. Right? I know this because I play Sona often... Both ARAMS [By luck] and I play her for Draft Picks. In game, I was hiding in the bushes, not touching a single minion and was harassing Sona and Tristana. Had to keep them away from Vayne as much as possible and keep Vayne shielded in case harm came her way. But Sona.. being one hell of a poker, gives me quite the damage. This is my first time playing with Normal as LULU, I understand the champ to a point and wanted to try her against players.. Little did I know.. this Sona did quite a big deal of damage to Lulu with the Q. I could not simply harass both enemies anymore without feeding them in the process. Tristana with her Bombs and high amounts of Damage, and Sona with her constant heals and that dang Q. I had to back up, had to try and look for openings to poke both Champions at once. Vayne kept demanding I attack Tristana the ADC so she/he could feed. UNDERSTANDABLE. BUT, Vayne was not paying attention to Sona like I was. Got salty, mad.. and was harping that I was not doing anything which.. I clearly Was.. I was doing some damage to Tristana, trying to keep Sona back by turning her into an animal with my W, and throwing my Q. But Sona proved to be more Devastating as she pops her Q and.. well. good bye health. If I stood where I would die by Tristana who would take the opportunity to shoot me too along with Sona. If I ran away ... there was Tristana again, jumping on top of me in order to kill me. Vayne kept harping, telling people to report me and that I was not doing my job. I was called Garbage, Worthless and I died quite a few times AT THE START for Vayne. Following my ADC's Directions because Vayne kept getting pissy. I literally had to tell Vayne to Stop Talking to me so I can concentrate but she kept GOING and GOING. Tell ALL players how bad I was. I explained that it was my first time with Lulu, I'm working on getting better at PVP. I'm fine when it comes to ARAMS but dang it I slip off and on with Normals. They understood, and as Vayne kept saying mean things I told this champ that I will not support her for the rest of the game.. and I told her to report me if need be. By the end I commented the Sona for how she played the game. No Ill came from anyone's mouths but Vaynes.

so.. I understand :D And I do question this.. I don't get huff from many other champion adc's. If I do I usually apologize, try my best to correct the issue and move on. No further complaints.

I understand your point of view and that person had no right to flame you whatsoever, but ADCs are pretty much useless if they don't get fed early on which might explain their frustrations when supports mess up or don't do their jobs right (not saying you didn't).
