Looking for tips on what I should be focusing on when playing adc when behind early. Currently my games on adc are super one sided, either I get the first kill and stomp, or I get killed first and get stomped. Nothing really in between. It doesn’t feel this way when I support, 1 death on me or my adc =/= gg, but on adc I really feel useless after I get behind (super squishy, low damage, low cc).
Main adcs I play are jinx and cait
Thanks!
Usually the remaining options for getting fed is either taking kills (which is unlikely if you're behind) or just tryna farm it out. If your support doesn't do so proactively, you may need to take extensive warding into your own hands but still do so at your own risk since ADCs when behind are basically like wet 1 ply tissue paper
I am not a ADC main or high ranked player, but as a support main I understand how hard it is for adc+supp to play when they're behind. So I think I can share some things I do:
I ward a lot and I buy few 
whenever I can; I have 
too so, surprise ganks are very less. Ask your support to do this and always play in safe zones; safe zones are areas where you can farm safely and no threat of opponents attacking you. 
has her W to cover some possible ways opponents will come by, so use it to the fullest. It reveals the opponents getting trapped, so will be better against stealth champions.
are some items to be built against heavy ap/ad compositions and in general build things that makes you not getting insta-deleted. Being behind adc is probably the easiest target to get kills off, so don't be that adc who builds full ad or crit and die often before even getting 3-4 attacks.
Follow team; don't push alone, beyond vision lines and try to play around objectives. I often find my adc running into enemy territory after T1 tier to farm with no vision in their jg and it is basically inviting opponents for free gold. While drake spawns, or baron is to be taken try to be near it so that it can be taken faster.
Be the annoying backline, who does damage and goes back to safe place before opponents can react. Assassins will be targeting you, so always keep safe distance between you and them. 
can snowball well, so all it takes is 1 or 2 good fights and once she is excited she can just run down opponents and for Cait, always try to get the head shot on squishy champs and not tanks. With more damage, they can't jump in to kill you first and with your backing off, force them to play in disadvantage of hp always.
Ping your cc ability and always chain cc whenever support or someone roots/stuns someone; both Jinx and Cait has root and a slow-so make sure to show opponents that if they get hit by any cc it is going to be trouble for them. I played 
and every time I get 
it is lot easier because 1-2 second root suddenly becomes 3 second root and with my ultimate I can prolong it to 4-5 seconds. For Zyra and Neeko they have multi hit root on E, Naut is tanky ball who can hook and root 1 target opponent and can root nearby opponents with passive; Zyra, Naut have multi hit knockup with R and Neeko has stun-so as long as they stay in range, the cc chain on one target is sure death. With R you can clean up from far away, so can actually stay back after fights and let team mates chase.
Last tip is to mute chat, don't get frustrated or tilted because someone is flaming/blaming or you're behind. Try to be useful in different ways and you can always see map for tracking opponents, to ping/warn for gank/ambush or taking a drake/going for baron kind of shot-callings, which will improve your macro knowledge as well as help team mates.
