Early Game Help

So, as an adc, my friend has basically given up on me because he said that just because I can win late game, that doesn't mean I am doing good in the match. So, I got pissed off because all I fucking wanted was at least a "good job" because if you check my match history, I did pretty damn good mid to late game. I have been going around the forums and pretty much everyone says that ADCs suck early game. I basically output more damage than the enemy adc, because their mid game was bad, and yet, I was at least able to hold my ground, even if the enemy got a level ahead of me. Yet, despite that, I came out on top in regards to bot lane. So, all in all, a decent performance. Hell, I even managed to reach godlike, something that rarely happens in PvP. So, my performance was awesome and that's all I wanted him to acknowledge. So, how do I fix my early game, and if possible, I would like to Skype someone and learn that way in order to fix what I am doing wrong. And no, reading or watching tutorials won't help much. I need someone to actually teach me what I can do better in a match. Thanks in advance.

My friend is a pompous ass, by the way, just to let you know.

You are playing mostly Caitlyn which is mainly and early game champion with easy harras and decent damage early game so...your friend is kida right to be pissed off.

I'm not going to talk about your CS being all over the place because I'm most certain is what you hear the most adn with some practice you shoudl be able to get it up.

With Caitlin you want to use your passive on the enemy champions as much as you can, you are supposed (if possible) to walk into a bush, AA once and come back out of it to proc your passive more often. Your traps should be placed around the enemy champions on the patterns that they usually dodge, if everytime you use an ability they go left, place them on a left, if they go backwards place them behind them, you want to make them feel uncomfortable dodging them. Even if they never step on a trap, the mere fact that they are on their most likehood path to dodge will make you hit all your other abilities more easily.

If you see an enemy champion come close to CC and there is no low minion you should hit an aa to them, your range is huge and is only lower to Tristana and Kog after lvl 9, before that no one has as much range as you, use it wisely. Your Q in all possible should be used to hit only the champions and avoid the minions so you don't end up pushing your lane. Caitlin is really bad at all-ins so the only way she is going to win one of those is if she poked her opponents low enough before hand, hence poking is essential.

Having said all that, if a Caitlin is losing a lane early she is playing wrong, there is no work around it, you should exert press ion on your opponents all the time.

Um... Is anyone going to respond to this? I'm seeking help here... Like actual match help, which would be nice.
