If your support engages their adc, you dont necessarily have to try and 100 to 0 their adc. The support engaged with the goal of doing enough damage and backing off. Go for kills when they are below 50 percent health, or else just do some damage then go back, dont flash in. Thank you
Also don't be scared to shot back when your support is taking all the damage. Shoot back for free hits because your support is getting hit.
A pretty solid rule of thumb I operate under is, when the support backs off from the engage, I do as well.
Also, when your support go in for a little poke (like an AA), don't go ham. I just wanted them to back off a little bit so you can cs. I play a ton of Thresh and AA's hurt early game. If I land a hook doesn't mean go ham all the time. Usually it's for the scare factor/ zoning. It's not always about the kills.
I'm picking up Nami, and I've noticed that adcs tend to over extend when a bubble lands. Just AA them a few times or maybe use a skill for more damage if you please, then go back to farming.
There isn't a need to use your escape tools to engage, use them to re position or escape.
One last thing, help your support ward, we can only ward so much and try to cover as much as the map possible. If your going to farm without vision don't blame me when you get caught.
This needed to be said
Problem is, you never know what the support's plans are. I do what you mention, and get raged at by the Morg for not diving the tower with her at level 3.
In a game last night on Zyra sup, I managed to catch a Leona in an E next to two seeds at the turret side of the enemy bush and followed up with a Q. I did this from the safety of our bush with zero risk of retaliation from Leona or her ADC.
What does my Vayne do? Runs past river to the far side of the enemy minion wave and into range of Leona and her Draven. Like what the fuck?
ADCs need to realize that poke supports are intended to create safe farming zones by pushing enemy champs under turret or B. In the long run, they're there to give you a big xp and cs advantage. 90% of the purpose of poking is to PREVENT all-ins, to initiate them.
