ADC main. Im basically tired of shitting on my lane hard and coming out of the first 20 mins dumb fed, but I'm never able to outcarry whatever it is my potato teammates fed. As an ADC a fed morde or a fed diana or a fed yasuo or a fed... anything really prevents me from being able to do what i need to do in teamfights around objectives. I basically give my lane opponents the long D but am unable to transfer it to victories.

Get your lead, take the tower, roam with your support to help others.

The best solo carry marksman are Draven Vayne

If your team can at least hold a frontline or your support can keep you alive then my favorite is KogMaw with summoner 21 summoner 4 and my support takes heal.

I'm in my promos to get into Silver, climbed there from Iron playing basically only ADC. Here's my advice:

  1. Pick one or two champions, and stick with them. Your goal is to improve, and the meta doesn't matter at low ranks. Focus on good farming and wave management. Coming out of the laning phase with a ton of gold is more important than winning it. If you're missing minions to poke and trade, you aren't doing your job. Most ADCs want the wave in the middle, so they can trade effectively without being too far from their tower.

  2. Your job is to survive, not carry the game on your shoulders. You should always be fighting dirty. A fed ADC isn't a 1v9 pentakill monster, you are pressure incarnate. Any time the enemy wants to get close to your team, you are there to threaten them with guaranteed damage, turning every trade in your team's favor. If they don't want to fight, your team can take towers and objectives like no one's business. Your job isn't to get kills; it's to deal damage.

  3. Draw an invisible line between your outermost towers. That is the line you do not cross alone. If you need to catch waves, push them out past that line, then return to your team, warding along the path. If dragon is up and your jungler is botside, shove and look to take it. If they aren't, shove and roam mid to open up dragon even more. The same is true, but flipped to toplane, when Herald or Baron is up, and dragon isn't.

  4. Most champions have a point where they get so fed that the can just wade into the enemy team killing them all. ADCs don't have that until they reach max build, and even then, it's not always a guaranteed thing. No amount of kills gives you the right to overstep, and getting cocky is a surefire way to give out some shutdown gold. You need to play defensively, always.

Note that defensively is different from passively. A passive playstyle would be giving up everything that the enemy tries to take without a fight. A defensive playstyle is making them pay for everything they try to take from you. ADC is a defensive role at its core.

  1. Don't try to innovate. If you're trying to climb, pick the best runes and the best items. That Omnistone Miss Fortune might be fun, and might even work in a few games, but it's not the playstyle you want to be practicing. That said, don't just follow the cookiecutter build to the letter regardless of the situation. Understand what items and runes are core and what are situational, and flex your build around to suit your game. Going Conqueror on Kai'Sa isn't always the best choice, but if they have four bruisers? Abso-freakin'-lutely it's a good pick.

Legit just farm. practice farming if you lose lane too much and watch videos on what actions to take and when to make them. I watched so much guides for top lane and if i hadn't i would have been hardstuck bronze for i was seriously bad at the game back then but now i am almost gold hoping to climb higher
