Agressive or defensive carry play

I was wondering what the strongest way of playing carry is in pubs, active or inactive. Personally i play an inactive way were i focus on lasthits splitpushing and delaying the game until i'm done farming. However i get flamed alot by allies.

Also when my allies feed early game this way of playing carry is really hard. I have the feeling playing a more "afk" way is safer but if your team sucks *** than you ain't getting a game that takes longer than 30 minutes.

In competitve people play an agressive carry now a days but i'm not sure about pubs. What do you guys think is the best way of playing carry.

In party matchmaking, go for aggressive.
If solo queue, just afk farm, don't listen to your allies epecially if you are in potato bracket (less than 3k)

It depends entirely on the game I think. You need to be able to see rough outlines of the enemy strategy and adapt accordingly as a carry player. For more specifics your supports will give you information if they do their job well.
