Struggling ADC main here..

Okay, so ever since Pyke came out, it seems that there is a major issue for us as adcs. I basically 2 trick jhin and draven, i've been forced to try other lanes or champions that aren't original adcs because of the new meta. Its straight up Vlad/Fiddle/Swain/Irelia/Brand in every bot lane. They just 1 shot me no matter what, I can only dodge shit for so long under my tower until i just get dove. I'm really struggling. I've been trying other lanes but I'm just no good at them because I 2 trick jhin/draven and only play adc. Anyone got any pointers or tips? crit items just suck now and the new IE doesnt even feel worth building. Plus it costs so much that by the time you get it your nexus is being butt touched. I'm currently on a losing streak of 17 L 3 W out of my last 20 games. I just am wondering if anyone else is struggling as hard as I am, or if anyone has some positive actual feedback <3 Thanks!

It also seems lately that everyone just seems to afk the second you start losing, which is usually after firstblood 3 mins into the game. As well as lately there's been alot of trolls (this is in g4-g2 games) Not to mention it doesn't matter if i do steam roll bot and end up like 6/0 coming out with first blood tower, the 15/2 irelia top lane will still just Q onto me and 1 shot me within 1.3 seconds.

With those two adcs in general, it is best to have a enemy controlling support. Pyke only does so much for that, (i do admit i have not had time to play too very much, but i have done a bit).... there is a reason why Janna is so annoying, if played well she controls the entire bott lane.

In otherwords, do not expect to solo win bott lane. Its like trying to play checkers, you can play by yourself but it just isnt as fun. If you can, try to make a support friend to play with a bit and learn with. Do normals and try out other champions to see who you like and dont like. Can play these random ones while looking for an adc that you might enjoy playing more (Xayah is pretty fun once you figure her out)

Heck, try out random ADCs if you want like Kennen.... he can play similar to an ADC and yet provide some much needed CC, and best of all (one of the main reasons probably why vlad for example is taking over) no mana costs!

Also, try listening to some music while playing especially while playing solo. Just whatever music you enjoy listening to. It helps you stay away from the chat and gives your brain less time to wonder what is going on in other lanes.

Just some tips that i can provide, hope something helps :)
