ADC tips and climbing

Hey guys, I could use some help with my ADC play. Been on a losing streak for a week now, and I been trying hard to win lately (as everyone normally does) but nothing seems to happen. Farming is getting better a bit, trading (maybe) is getting better. But getting caugh out is an issue. I'm a Lucian main, and it's tough because I know I'm decent with him, but with people picking Ashe and Draven (who out class him) I don't know how to deal with it.

Get a support you trust and who trusts you to duo with. Practice with them with them on supports who are strong after laning phase because they are good at keeping a carry alive, rather than the popular supports that are strong at carrying the lane but offer little to keep them safe in fights later. Get good at laning with those kind of supports so you do not have to be carried through the early game at the level you are at, so those picks are not a problem.

Top, mid, and jungle players are all happy to kill the enemy back line. You need someone to keep the other team from doing the same to be effective.

If your main issue is being caught out, then you need to increase your map awareness. If you have no vision of the enemy team and you have no established vision around the area where you want to push or go farm at, then it wouldn't be very smart to go there now would it?

Let me be clear, one ward is NOT established vision. Placement of the wards is also crucial. Furthermore, once laning phase is over, you shouldn't be pushing past the mid section of your lane anyway unless you have confirmed within 3 seconds the location of the enemy team relative to where you want to push. Even if you have your support with you, this is a major risk to take if you haven't confirmed the location of the enemy team.

My tip for climbing is LEARN all the roles. Don't just main one champ and know one role. Please do not do ranked if you only know adc and one champ.

Here's what you do in normal games. Farm in lane until you would normally back and get item 1038 then what do you do continue farming without backing to shop once. This will teach you to play safe while procting you to learn to last hit on a more difficult base since the minions waves will continue to get stronger, and i'll say nothing is better practice then avoiding getting raped by someone who has already shopped 3 times in 20 min. You'll become the Adc of your dreams if you practice like this. P.S. : I normally back at 7000 gold so that i can get item 3072 for sustain and item 3031 for dmg, item 3087 is a nice piece to take to.
