Struggling Earning an S or S+ for ADC

I love playing adc so much and it's typically my main role. I am VERYYYY frustrated though because I feel like I always get S- all the time with Xayah. I am doing pretty well on cs and kda, but as for warding, I struggle with that. I try hard to put down many wards and destroy many wards, but yet it's never good enough for even an S. How do I improve? How many wards should I be placing and destroying? I'm just so upset because I seriously dont know how to get my rank 7. It feels like I'm stuck at rank 6 and I can only get S and S+ on stupid arams with her. Tbh, I also just want to prove to my boyfriend that I am good. He knows I am decent already, but I just want to impress him as well. Maybe I sound dumb, but I would love to hear everyone's advice. Thank you so much <3

Also buy pinks, they really do help. 2-3 per game regardless of role.

Here's what you do, don't play Xayah in the ADC role, play her Mid. The system will try and match your CS, KDA and Vision Score with other player's of all ELO's, obviously that means to get an S or S+ you'll probably have to have score's similar to that of a Platinum+ player at least, so instead take her Mid where no one play's her and if they do they don't do very well, that way you don't have to work near as hard.

don't know if this still works but duo bot but you que as support and have the duo be adc and just swap and it will compare your adc stats to the support version on it.

From my experience earning S ranks across all marksmen, you need to apply every trick in the book with them and implement more when you can.

By that I mean what are some of the tricks as a Xayah main that you know what not everyone can pick up on the first few games on her?

For example, Lucian has an intrinsic combo he can pull off if you're comfortable with his kit. Essentially, using Lucian's E while 2 auto's are in mid flight can reduce his E cooldown 100% when attacking a champion. That's an S rank worthy skill to under stand. It won't always grant you an S rank but you need to keep applying those skills.

Xayah also has fancy combos she can pull off. Did you know after using Q that she can Bladecall into a root while the 3rd would be to root feather is in mid flight? Stuff like that always helped me get S ranks.

But ultimately with any marksmen, you want to avoid dying as much as possible, beat the other bot laners cs, and participate in any team fights that may occur. The last point be the most essential since you're the teams primary sources of damage.

Get Control Wards and Blue Trinkets in case you don't feel safe. Don't hesitate to place them in key spots.

feed your ass off, lower your stats with xayah, then play real good, will be an S, since it goes by how others play and how you play, i had to get 25kills with Yi to get an s i thnik i went 25/2 and it was a solid S
