^If you operate based on "always" and "never," you're doing it wrong. I play support Soraka in premades, and my laning partner will frequently let me take a kill so I can grab Boots of Lucidity earlier. The point is not to make sure your carry is farmed, period, but rather to make sure your carry is better farmed than their carry, and in my experience, a Soraka with 35% CDR (20% from runes + masteries) and level 2 boots 5 minutes into the game is very good at tipping this balance strongly in our favor with both harass and support. And if taking a bit of farm at the beginning means our carry gets a LOT of farm shortly after that, why not?
