The worst part about playing AD Carry...
...putting up with random supports.
Ironically enough, the reverse is true too. Duo bot is best bot.

To be honest, supports are way more important in-lane before the first back too.
What a coincidence; pairing up with random ADC's is the worst thing about being a support main! There aren't enough ADC mains :(
I'd rather play as support with a bad ADC than play ADC with a bad support. It's easy to carry a bad ADC, that's kind of what support kits are built to do... but as ADC there's really not much you can do to help a bad support other than try to coach them via chat (which I hate doing)
Disagree completely. Twice I've had Zilean supports that just stood there for the passive. Didn't throw out bombs, didn't use summoner's spells, didn't stand in range of minions half the time, might as well have been AFK. When I was with Jinx, I destroyed them basically 1v2 and carried that game. It was great.
It doesn't matter if the support is random or not. It doesn't even matter if the support is shit. As long as you don't feed and I have Jinx, we win. You'd think I'd win more games than I do considering how simple it is.
That's one extreme. I'd rather an overly Passive AD Carry/Support than an overly Aggressive one who throws the lane in the enemy's favor.
You can go even in a passive lane (save for inevitably losing your turret first), but you can't go even when your support is 0/5.
EDIT: I had these experiences in the last week. I had a really passive support so we got bullied a bit but I kept my cs up and, despite losing tower, we were ok in the mid game. Another game, the enemy ad carry actually got so far ahead that I couldn't lane against him because my thresh support was gifting them kills.
0 / 5 / ?? There is a third set of numbers.
if you get mad at them for taking kills and cs.. dont belittle them by not respecting their role.
0/5 in lane. Over aggressive supports create a high risk high reward scenario, but if they're not capable of playing aggressive against a certain opposing lane or they don't have the skills for it, it becomes more like High Risk Little-to-No Reward.
I don't like it because it is too dependent on someone else. Top and Mid, you only have yourself to blame or praise.

Yea. I love playing ADC, but bot lane is such a toxic place to be, support or ADC. Not only do you have to rely on someone just to lane, but a lot of jungle action typically happens down there, too. And, even if you escape a gank, your random partner may be pushing up basically suiciding while you are pinging him back because he isnt even watching the map and the jungler sitting right in the bush on top of a ward.
Its no surprise that my top lane only account is free and clear of any restrictions, even getting skins for not being reported, compared to my ADC account on permanent chat restriction. Why I continue to play such a toxic position is beyond me. I cant remember the last time I raged in a game playing mid or top lane. Jungle is fairly rage inducing with everyone blaming you, but bot lane is just as bad.
As far as on topic, it does suck when you get a bad support and cant do anything, and it sucks when you get a bad ADC, but I find it far worse having a bad support than a bad ADC. At least with a bad ADC you can carry him with an aggressive support, and he will eventually get items and be able to do something, and you can carry the game anyways with wards and someone like Annie who can blow people up, or Leona who can basically give the worst ADC in the game free kills with a strong combo. Compared to getting completley zoned out and/or watching the enemy feast on your support who doesnt ward, and offers literally nothing to the team the rest of the game, which also makes his ADC almost worthless, and the game ends up being a 3.5 vs 5.
Supports carry bot lane. Anytime an ADC has a good game, it was probably set up from the beginning by a really good support player. Also, when an ADC has a bad game, a lot of the times it goes back to how poor the support was in the early stages of the lane.
