I'm a useless ADC. Please help.

(Sorry, had originally posted this in the wrong place by accident.)

Hey, I'm someone fairly new to LoL, I've been playing since Octoberish of last year. I'm Bronze IV, so yes, I am a noob. Um, I don't want to sound arrogant, but I can pretty much semi-decently play any role you give me but ADC. I am a mid main at heart (Although I do tend to lean towards Fiora mid..). I'm not a very good farmer, I'll peak at about 100-150 CS at 20 minutes. I have a lot of ADCs because mystery gifting is like a gambling addiction, and I'm wondering how to play them. I try them in bots, I'm fine, but in real games, I just fall apart. I am afraid to play ranked in the fear I'll get stuck ADC and feed. Is it my csing problem? If so, could you please give me some tips on farming? I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Maybe it's something else? My aggressive playstyle? I don't know. I know that it isn't a lot to go on but maybe you could give me some general ADC tips? I recently got gifted Jinx and I love her voice acting, her Kit, basically everything, but I can't seem to do well with her. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.

Here you can learn A LOT in only one lesson. Quick Recap should be:

  • Attack enemy ADC while he's trying to last hit (smart trades)
  • Learn how and when to freeze or push a lane (controling the lane, plus dragon)
  • Learn how close you and your support need to be (entire trades, and all-ins are susceptible to this)

That's the most important things i guess, hope i don't forget anything ;) (in the video you can see a lot more tips and stuff)

Hey Ardroit, when playing someone like Jinx, positioning is key to every ADC however with Jinx you have to be extra careful since she doesn't have a dash and getting caught out because of bad positioning isn't as forgiving as when you play a champion like Ezreal or Lucian. Your CS seems fine. However a main problem I think that happens is that after laning phase ADCs in lower elo forget that you still need to farm minions and such. Don't stop farming, but don't farm to lose an objective or a teamfight. So pretty much farm, but fight when your team needs you to. Though I can't really say what you're doing wrong unless I watch you play. Also it might be a good idea to take MR glyphs on your runes for more tankiness to Magic Damage on the ADC. Hope this helps a little bit.

EDIT: Also, you should search up how to orbwalk/stutter step/Attack move or whatever it's called nowadays.
