ADC mains: Who are you playing and why

I was wondering why adc players choose which few champs to main for ranked. If you are like me I don't bother or like playing most of them, and want from ~3 to pick based on the game. I go these few. I hear some can't stand playing bot lane this patch, but I love ADC more than ever and am slowly maining support just as much.

Vayne My first and I will blind pick it every time. My most comfortable, most played and fun to carry with. Dueling is my favorite playstyle rather than blowing everything up from a distance, like on Jinx. I only feel comfortable doing stuff alone on her. Just skimming these boards she seems to be the center of attention with the two others, who are perma-banned. This is understandable, but to be honest I feel as if I have been cornered into playing her. I feel more like other ADCs are vulnerable to the meta or utility picks like Sivir Ashe (hell I never wanted to be utility).

Kalista My second go to. I haven't won as much as I used to due to nerfs and stated junglers destroying me. Now I pick her against teams that are very kiteable with no lock on CC or Annie's running around. I never had a problem with Kalista, although I still hear the higher the elo the better she is. There have been games I won dealing minimal damage and just sending Alistar in and hitting them with the AoE slow on her E. I don't think she was crazy op for solo queue ever, even when I mained her a few patches ago I rarely went vs one.

Caitlyn For last. If they picked Vayne or Draven, really. I actually really like her right now for her late game and safe lane. Not much to say she's Caitlyn... A good one in lane is very effective.

I have no desire to play any other adc right now (besides Draven, but I actually want to win sometimes). I play these because they are fun and effective. The problem I think people seem to be having with Vayne is not being able to put her out of the game early (junglers are stacking). As well as not having CC tank junglers or top laners to lock her down late game. Yes you can say TRUE DAMAGE THIS OR TRUE DAMAGE THAT, but the strong picks in other roles aren't the strong ones against her right now.

I feel like most Jinx Tristana I go against now days opt for them because they don't main adc and can be strong on them without lots of games played. As for Sivir I don't see her often and don't mind laning against her at all TBH... I

want to play 10 different champs whenever I feel like, but I reach the point where I can't climb on anything. Sorry Varus Ezreal Lucian I love you But you didn't make the cut this time, hopefully in the future! Brace for community hate

Well, not really ADC main(especially not on this acc), but my choice for ADC is one of those: Tristana, Ashe, Draven Tristana-nice unexpected damage and mobility, when you are asking yourself "WTF that guy just died with a EQ and R" and nice safety in her range, W and R Ashe-her CC is great, as well as her damage Draven-"WTF he died from 2 hits? WTF i have 3k gold!"

I don't play adc much, but I would have to go with Sivir and Tristana

Sivir was the champion that I learned to play the game with. And Tristana because I find her the most fun to play out of the adc's.

Miss Fortune, only because her Q makes me giggle when it chunks the enemy ADC for like 1/3rd their HP after first back.
