Learning how to play offlane. Often i'll do well in lane, maybe pickup a kill, and then my support roams elsewhere to help the other lanes. The problem is i'm not sure what to do at that point. Typically one of the following happens:

1) Enemy 1/5 stays in lane, both harassing me, and I get 0 CS and enemy 1 who was falling behind now gets free farm and catches up.

2) Enemy 12 stays in lane, 5 goes to stack or ward in jungle or something (isn't on screen for a little while). I walk up to creeps to CS/deny and then support walks out behind me and 1/5 kills me.

What am I supposed to be doing when my support leaves?

• Am I supposed to just soak experience and let enemy free farm for a few minutes?
• Should I leave lane too to make plays elsewhere, though again, letting the enemy 1 free farm?
• If I don't see the enemy 5, do I just need to be playing far back until I do? What if he just doesn't show for a while?

Any tips would be great. I've watched a few high level games but it seems like everytime the 4 leaves the enemy 5 leaves as well which hasn't been my experience. Having trouble finding example games of my common situation.
