Hey guys. So I'm going to be doing ADC for my team, and I'm wondering who you guys feel are easy/essential? Perhaps, what 3 ADCs should I look to learning first, whether they be easy for me to focus a little more on learning the role, to ones that are essentially very powerful right now and I should pick up.

disregardable1 votesJinx the late game carry and Caitlyn the guaranteed to win lane, all you need.
Ezreal and Draven are more offensive ADCs you might want to look into for the 3rd one- I just don't like them.
Sìel1 votesSivir is easy to pick up, honestly just learn to time your spell shield along with the usual laning stuff and you'll be fine in most matchups.
Ashe is another easier pick, just need to know how to abuse your spells and kite properly.
ModWulf Helhammer1 votesTo learn the role, the important ones are Caitlyn, Ashe, and Tristana. They all have good range and/or have good safety/kiting ability for them
For ones that are pretty much a necessity in the current meta: Tristana, Kalista, Jinx (or Vayne), and Sivir. Tristana is an all around good pick, and has insane sieging ability. Kalista is high damage output, and if you can master kiting, you will be nigh impossible to hit. Jinx or Vayne for if your team needs a late game hypercarry. Important to note that Vayne is by far one of the hardest ADCs to play in an environment such as team matches, so if you want to learn her, then you have to put in the practice to get good at her. Sivir is still very good due to her waveclear and very good engage to get your team's frontliners into the other team.
There are plenty of other pocket pick champs that you could master that can be a good strategy breaker against the enemy, but in order for those to be effective, you have to put a lot of practice into that particular champ (for me, that's Quinn. I can confidently go into a match as Quinn knowing I can win lane or at the minimum stay even, as long as the other person doesn't far outskill me). Also, champions like Ashe and Caitlyn aren't bad by any means, they just won't do as well with how the game currently is, unless you are building for a particular comp (Ashe can go great with a pick comp for example, as long as you can hit the arrows; but don't expect to carry to hard unless you get fed. Caitlyn can be picked for an early game comp, where your job is to make the other team's bot lane a living hell; take this into something like a Lucian, Sivir, or Vayne, where your high range will have the most impact. Your job in this is to just keep the other bot lane down, relying on other members of your team to be the primary threat.)

is a fun safe pick! He packs a punch and his escape makes him pretty slippery sometimes

. Build sniper and collect your free elo... if you're competant with positioning and skill shots.
Chuck Charles1 votesIn an organized team where they work with you Sivir is essential to helping your team.
Ashe is also necessary for engage comps and kite comps
Hyper carries are also good as well. Jinx, kog maw, tristana, vayne
The others are honestly just not necessary if you are limiting yourself to bare bones. Still learn all adcs and matchups, but the core 3 for team play are Sivir, Ashe, and Tristana. The first two being more for team oriented utility than their raw damage.
The rest I guess are for situations based on what your team needs.
Corki when you run all ad comp or are going for 2 or more champion 1 item spike mid game group and siege. Or poke comp.
Varus for poke, ezreal for double ad comps and safe landing, vayne for being against heavy tanky teams, twitch for snowballing game with organized ganks in other lanes, fortune and graves for pure wombo combo, etc
