All through bronze I mained adc after maining top lane, why you may ask because carrying as a top laner in bronze is damn near impossible.Then I get to silver and win lane lose lane either way its the same as bronze.No matter who I play or how well I do in lane all that ends up mattering is the who won bot lane or how good is bot lane doing.I now have to stop maining top and jungle and go back to maining fucking kog maw adc since I want to reach my previous high of gold.

Silver has waaaay worse players on average. In bronze, people actually want to get out. In silver, people have accepted their fate and play troll champions, first time champions, feed because 'they feel like it', or go 0/9 by 15 minutes and then claim they're just having a 'bad game' (their match history says otherwise). Silver is comprised of players who should either be placed in low Bronze, or Gold and just don't play enough to climb. There is no in-between.

Good luck dude I still remember It not being as easy getting out of bronze but once I did I felt like I accomplished the impossible.

No, there's a reason why Bronze and Silver make up 80% of the player base.

To be fair, even if you get to platinum, matchmaking is so screwy right now you'll still get matched with Bronzes.

I mean no offence, but if your mechanics and positioning are great, you require literally no other skills in order to play ADC to a silver level.

It doesn't require macro, map awareness, engages, playmaking, or much matchup knowledge (you can generally rely on your support for all of this). I understand it's popular to imply that toplane is powerless- but it's not so powerless as to force all toplaners into bronze, and perhaps focusing on these areas of gameplay will lead to the improvements that allow you to play what you love.
