How hard is ADC?

Hey, im fairly new to the game, and im looking forward to play ranked (i love competetive games). I was thinking about maining adc role because i love marksman champs, but i keep hearing that adc is not recommended for new players from my friends, due to teamfighting. Is it really that hard, or should i just stay in jungle :P. I know how to attack move, kite, last hit, orb walk etc. Thanks :)

Adc is a bit weird. At low levels of play it's one of the simpler roles, since you do just right click for a majority of your damage. As you get to higher elos, you'll find yourself focused and having to do a ton of positioning work and decision making that's less vital on other roles, and thus adc gets a lot harder.

Tl,dr: it's not a bad role to start on, but be aware of where the skill cap comes from so you can improve as you go.

its not hard to play adc. the problem is that you're still team reliant until u get 2 to 3 items. right now games are over by then. Its hard to climb out of low elo as adc. I am an adc main but I cant climb so now I play mid and it is so much easier.

id start with people like miss fortune first as you dont really have to attack move as much and work your way up

There's a lot I could tell you about the role from micro to macro play. But there are a lot of guides out there.

But the list of priorities oughta be for laning:

  1. Last hitting
  2. Wave management
  3. Lane control
  4. Sync with your support (recalls, walk back to lane together, work together, etc.)

For teamfights:

  1. Positioning. Always. Have good positioning.
  2. Always be right clicking, always be pushing out damage.
  3. Focus squishies first if you can, if not attack closest target
  4. Know summoner spell cooldowns

Like every role adc can be hard or easy. Playing easier champions like jinx or Tristana will give you an easier time.

Honestly I think the hardest roles to play are support and jungle due to the increased amount of thought you need to put into them.

Adc is more about awareness of enemy and friend positioning. Which isn’t too hard to grasp.
