How to kite as ADC? Help me out please..

My main role and best role is by far MID. I can play a pretty good Anivia, Lux, Vel Koz, Malzahar, Ezreal, Xerath and much more. For some reason I am way better with low mobility skill shot orientated champions. I find it easier to escape with my high damage/burst/CC mage than when I play ADC... Right now I am practicing my ADC role and in lane I would say I am pretty good because I have learned how to harass/poke and when to be aggressive with my skill shots playing mid... When out of laning phase I start throwing my advantage in CS and kills... I rarely get matched with teams who knows how to peel for the carries and I am simply not good enough to kite.

I am decent at positioning myself but when a Garen , LeeSin, XinZhao , Udyr , Hecarim and other champs with high movement speed/damage or high movement speed/tankyness jump me I never survive.

Example with graves: Udyr comes for me, I dash back with my E, AA, back, use my Q, use my W, AA, back, ULT, Q again, HEAL, FLASH, dash back, AA AND DIE... I can literally pop everything and I still die because of his movement speed and sustain. One game I went QSS so I could run away from his initial stun but he still got me....

Is there anything you can do in situations like this?

Just be aware of what they can do (e.g. damage, potential engage range, CC etc). Ultimately, you can only kite so hard before you can no longer deal with certain champions. This is where your team should be peeling for you.

You should right click on them, autoattack, then step away from the Udyr, then repeat... Also you can't really kill fighter with stacked armor with Graves, he is great vs squshies, but can't melt everyone like Vayne, Kog, Draven or the old Tristana (which was just unfair with her range and attack speed).

thats exactly what I do... I understand how to kite but it seems pointless against certain champs. My best ADC is tristana because shes incredibly safe but I want to be able to play other adcs well.
