I'm basically having troubles with a few questions. If you are able to hop on my teamspeak and help or even answer the questions here

My main ADCs : Caitlyn/ MF / Sivir / Ashe

These are what i want to main and i have about 100 games with mf and 150 with cait. Can someone tell me about lane synergy?

Im not sure when to pick sivir as opposed to caitlyn ya know? Which supports work best with these adcs

Also i feel like caitlyn is really weak right now imo. any opinion?

Cait if you need strong siegeing and sivir typically fits into any comp with her utility. With Cait you want either a peel support like thresh or Janna, or a poke support like lulu and karma. Sivir does well with most supports but does very well with supports that can lock opponents down like blitz or alistair.

Cait is pretty good with the buffs to her passive and traps, still falls off mid but comes back strong late when your head shots are hitting for 1.2k

Take a look at the champion's strengths and weaknesses, and that can inform you about who goes best with them. Things like: What does this champ want to do in-lane? And then you gotta think about what the enemy champions can do to hinder that.

Caitlyn generally is a safe farming adc with strong harassment abilities and zone control I'm sure you know her laning patterns by now Nami Janna Braum Alistar are all good supports for caitlyn. Think about how their kits work together with Caitlyn in the different stages of the game

This isn't a full description of each champion, but a general idea:

Caitlyn = lane bully, good for sieging, scales into late game. Good with poke supports or ones with hard CC that she can chain her traps with.

MF = lane bully, decent duelist, good in AoE compositions, 5v5 teamfights. Good with another AoE ult support, or something protective.

Sivir = pusher, good for engaging or disengaging teamfights. Good against single target CC due to her spellshield (think Blitz, Thresh). Good with engage/disengage supports (basically anything).

Ashe = kiting, poke, hard engage. Good with other heavy CC supports (Leona, Braum) or ones that help her kite (Janna). Good for 5v5 teamfighting.

MF, Sivir, and Ashe are all going to be a bit vulnerable to assassins or anything with hard CC (or jumps) because they don't have a dash for re-positioning.

A few tips on ADC, since I main that. (Sivir and Ashe are good but I prefer Lucian) Learn to CS, learn to focus in team fights, hit the closest target, or at least safest. Group up for dragons, barons, etc. After killing an enemy or two rotate mid. When there is no pressure mid or bot take bot tower. Prioritize objectives over kills, try to sneak in objectives when enemies aren't close by.

I don't think a Silver player can give people advice on what and how to play adc. Go get a life first and then teach people. If your gonna be toxic and tell us that sivir and ashe is bad, its probably because you suck at champion. Other people can can good at those champs so don't say they're bad. Anyone who takes this advice is so sad because your listening to someone whos username is Wolfram Oxford..... Ahri is the best!

You are unranked, season 5 I was gold and I am about to get that pretty soon...Plus I never said Sivir and Ashe were bad.

Im unranked because unlike you.. I have a life... and gold isn't considered expert... r u dumb? Pretty soon? how soon? when ur dead alone and nobody cares about. Oh yeah, this is why your failing school..

I am dumb? Okay kid you can try to flame people on the boards as much as you want, but I don't have to prove anything to you. To start off you don't even know my grades, and then just because I play ranked in a game doesn't mean I have no life. When this person asked for help from an "ADC expert" that could just mean somebody who is comfortable with the role, which I am. So please go on with your day and leave people alone. Nobody likes a person who is toxic to others.

Caitlyn every game. Doesn't matter who your support is, your objective is the same: Poke & CS in lane. Get 3 items, carry game.

Caitlyn is good in seige comps. MF is a good choice when your team has nice amount of peel or AOE CC like an an amumu and wukong Sivir maybe if your team needs so extra pushing power? Pick Ashe if they got Udyr
