I don't know how to fix this within my own skills but, whenever I play adc and I try to kite I misclick alot making me walk towards the person I'm kiting. I dont misclick with any other champs just when I'm playing adc and try to kit and stuff. Should I lower my sensitivity? Whats the sensitivity you use? I play on mouse speed 50.

I would not mess with the DPI of your mouse. If you are going to mess with sensitivity, do it in game. Leave your other settings static, and mess only in game, unless you just have to turn down windows sens.

For the most part, I doubt its your accuracy, and more your nerves and trying to go too fast. I'm a pretty good FPS player; I'm also pretty accurate clicking on everything, EXCEPT sometimes when I'm trying to kite as an ADC. I'm a good enough FPS player to know that my accuracy isn't as bad as it is when I'm misclicking slow ass champions in league, esp. when I never misclick tiny minions. The problem is nerves. I've almost gotten over mine, but not quite.

Also, its going too fast. You are spamming your cursor back and forth as fast as you can, when that is not necessary, esp. early on before you have a lot of attack speed, and is just going to hurt your accuracy. Also, you are probably over-exaggerating the distance between the clicks, which again hurts accuracy.

I used to do what you do, I would be kiting, or fighting, and click right beside the champ, and run into him, basically suiciding or completely screwing myself. Most of this was nerves. But, something I did, and you can do, is start using attack move. This will make sure that when you misclick, you at least attack something instead of running into the pile and dying. You might miss some kills from time to time, because you hit a minion instead, but its better than giving up your position and dying, IMO. You can eventually weave regular clicks back in, since those are more responsive, IMO, but using attack move will help you maintain your positioning, which is more important.

The reason I say attack move is less responsive, is because it is taking both hands to achieve the same result as one. I actually misclick slightly more using attack move, but its not as detrimental as a single misclick with the right mouse button. I sometimes overshoot or undershoot the target because I click the attack move button before or after the mouse reaches its target, but again, this is an acceptable outcome compared to misclicking beside someone and running to him with right click.

I actually rebound attack move to my space bar. I'm so used to using spacebar while doing everything under the sun, because of FPS games and WoW arena, that its an easy button to spam while doing things and It feels natural from years and years and years of using it while WASDing. But, put the button where you feel comfortable.

But if you dont want to use it, and still want to use primarily right click, just slow down. Take your time clicking on people, you dont have to spam your movements as fast as you think you do. An easy way to get used to this, is watch your attack animation. Watch the actual projectile leave your guy. When it leaves, then you can move.

I would say try a few ways. see what works for you.

You should try different DPI (if mouse speed = DPI) and see what is best for you. Increase it gradually instead of from 1200 DPI to 1600. Oh ya and learn attack move click I guess I'm having trouble learning it too.

Oh btw I play with 1700 DPI now, I think you should increase gradually and find your best DPI. Like 1200 I would recommend

Have you turned off your mouse acceleration? If you don't know what that is, your computer's software is, by default, set to move your cursor further the faster you move your mouse. So if you move the mouse very slowly, the cursor won't travel as far as you do if you flick the mouse. This can make it very hard to last hit if you make fast movements. I strongly suggest turning off mouse acceleration. Without acceleration, your cursor will move the exact distance you want no matter how fast you're going. I believe a lot of high level players and pros play without acceleration. This is especially true in Starcraft and FPS shooters, which require even more twitchy movements than League.

There are a number of ways to turn off acceleration. If you have a mac, download a little program by Steelseries called Exact Mouse. It's a small, free program that takes care of it for you. If you have a PC, just google how to do it. Once you get used to zero acceleration, it will make a huge difference. I'm in the process of doing this myself, and I'm loving the new precision I am able to achieve.

Good luck!
