Yeah, cause they keep afking if you farm. Haha it's so fun to watch the kids lolI've done that with Nami before too, sometimes your adc's are really bad if you go on random queue but at least you can manage to not completely lose your lane by building more offense-oriented. It's kind of funny to me when the support is doing better than adc

If your ADC is bad in solo queue, you can and should just roam. If your presence does not help them hold the lane, then might as well go help another lane.

Well that's the risk you take when playing solo queue. If you don't like it, don't play bot or do premade.

AD Nami is a thing of beauty hahahaha
never seen someone afk over farming haha but if I did do that it's obvious you shouldn't be farming as a support either way
but if you leave your lane it'll be even worse i think..
do you guys think ad nami actually works?

You don't just leave arbitrarily. But if it's clear you can't work with them and they're constantly raging at you while losing lane, then you might as well go help somewhere else. Either stay and both lose lane while gaining nothing or leave, lose lane, and hopefully pressure other areas of the map.
You can and should roam as support even if you don't have these issues. A common mistake I see in solo queue is supports just sitting in a bush while enemy is in base. You're accomplishing nothing while doing that.

What rank are you?

I'm no rank, haven't played in awhile. I mainly study VoD's of Korean OGN and some Chinese LPL games occasionally to learn about game strategy, micro mechanics, map movements, objective control, lane swaps, and etc.

Ah so you did point out an error in my previous statement! Instead of "a common error I see in solo queue..." I should be saying "I used to see"

I mean.. if you're playing defensively in lane and make smart plays and your adc isn't bad then you can still manage to win your lane. I don't think just giving it up when your adc is doing bad is going to help at all lol.
It's usually the mid that does more of the roaming to either top or bot though.

So I'm saying IF your ADC refuses to cooperate, if it's hopeless, etc. then just leave. Obviously if your ADC is cooperative and your immediate presence there is beneficial then roaming would be ill advised. This is because roaming creates the potential for plays, the map pressure, as opposed to a guarantee for a play. But if enemy bot lane is exerting pressure in such a way that a 1v2 vs. a 2v2 difference is large, then why not stay where you are guaranteed to be useful.
So this sets up my previous statement which is that when the bot lane is missing and you are playing an aggressive support champion such as Leona, Alistar, or Blitzcrank, you should be roaming to mid or enemy jungle (with your jungler for example) to make plays there rather than sitting in a bush in your lane waiting for nothing to happen. Similarly if your presence with an uncooperative ADC who is upset by your mere presence and refuses to perform, then you might as well leave. It's going to be a 1v2 either way.

I used to win ranked games all the time when I got to play mid-lane.. but I always get stuck supporting and we end up losing.. I'm not saying I'm a dang pro or anything.. it's just that I win my lane while most of the time our lanes don't win lol I'm not the greatest support.. though it's one of my main roles. I always get last pick and they stick to pick order still in this elo lol
