Support Transitioning to a new Role

Hello Everyone!

I love playing league of legends and I absolutely love the community (yes, I can tolerate the bad ones too), so I decided to come here for help!

I am a support main since season 5 of LOL and I primarily play support mages, but have picked up a couple other champs on the road. Primarily my top three that I usually play are as follows:

Morgana My favorite, and usually always picked unless there is a crazy tank down bot/we need a tank Nami I find her quite flexible in the sense I can build her tanky if need be and she has a pretty decent heal and great CC Galio I picked this guy up recently, I absolutely enjoy him and he is a great pick if I need to tank.

I also tend to gravitate towards Rakan and Leona if I really need to tank the lane.

I find that I really enjoy hitting skill shots and love having a kit with some kiting abilities and at least one CC ability.

I do however would like to pick up a new role. I am comfortable with mages such as Lissandra , Lux and Ahri . But I don't want to jump into mid lane yet. I was thinking of transitioning to ADC and would like your help in some tips and practice techniques I should use to get there.

I have recently been training as Caitlyn . I love her kit because of her mini snares, her net and her range. I've actually had some decent games with a friend of mine who supports and helps me learn things such as cs'ing and when to poke and when to focus certain champs as well as lane mechanics. However he did advise me that I should look into other champions because he says Cait has a weaker early game and is very dependent on kills and itemization.

So, for you ADC's out there or supports who can also adc, what are some champs that you think would be good starters for me to have and train with?

Thank you so much everyone for reading!

(TL;DR: I am a support who wants to play adc. What are some adc's that are good to learn but also have abilities that include something to cc or kite)

Sivir is a really good ADC to learn. Caitlyn is balanced around her 650 range (So she starts with an advantage that she has to use to get a cs lead to be more useful than her laner) so some matchups she's good, others she has a 40% winrate.

I think Sivir is good because she's very familiar for a Morgana player and doesn't have many bad matchups. You need to read her kit and take note of her Q mana cost (110 at max rank), the fact that her W is an auto reset and if a ricochet auto crits it also crits everything it bounces to, her E gives mana if used successfully and her ult passive gives her W attack speed. There's a lot of depth to the champion and learning her is really rewarding!
