What do I do as a support when other lanes feed and my adc sucks?

So, lately, I've been playing a lot of support because i play with my friends and we win most games. Then once they started a game without me, so i did some solo queue as a support. That didn't work out as well as i hoped. When I play support, I'm hoping for a good adc. When they're not great or facing a bad matchup, I just don't know what to do when their adc gets fed, roams a ton and gets more kills, and then we lose. I know I have a role to play in warding, but what do I do when top lane feeds Garen early game really hard? I try to help as much as possible, but it's annoying when they 100-0 you in 2 seconds. Any advice on what items I should buy or things that I can do as a support?

P.S I play a lot of Soraka now when our team has anEzreal .But the Ezreal always seems to suck.

Generally what you want to do when your ADC is behind is stay with them and help them farm. As for Ezreal, I think his early game is not that good, and that might be why all the Ezreal players seem to suck, especially during laning phase.

As for when you're playing Soraka, ask your ADC to go for a long sword+3 pot start. Since you can heal your ADC, the lifesteal isn't that important. This is especially good if your ADC is rushing items like item 3153 , item 3078 , item 3072 , or item 3142 , since those items build out of Long Sword.

Honestly, you lost. Your last hope is to keep getting picks and slowly catch up in kills. If not, try to team-fight. If that fails, its game over. Supports can't carry, that's the downside to being a support main.

Depends on the team comp if you have late game champs you mus t try to reach that late game , if you are early dominance team and you still fall behind you are better /ff since it might be a waste of time , don't get me wrong you may win this kind of games but it will be long and exhausting . Some people say " You can't carry as support" which is not true or at least half true . If you play some one like Blitzcrank Thresh Alistar and more , you can make plays ,creating situations for fights or disengage , but if your team can't take advantage of these plays you are fkd .

Tell them all to start warding with you.vision will help them make wiser decisions. Set up ambushes if possible. Instruct your teammates to not chase.
