What are ADC mechanics that I need to learn?

I main ADC but I literally just manually right click the target then right click the floor to position myself then do the same thing again. I know there's like "ADC MECHONICS" like attack move only and attack move click and shift + left click and a + left click but I seriously have no idea how to use that. Ya I tried them but it feels really weird. I kite OK with manual clicks, though, but sometimes it's tiring. So how should I use those attack moves? Does it make me better at kiting or anything?

learning how to last hit minions is an adc must

so attack move is a useful command in late game teamfights because once you build up some attack speed it becomes really difficult to kite and maintain a respectable amount of DPS if you're clicking the champ, then clicking behind you, then back to the champ... and if you misclick the enemy you'll end up walking towards them

So with attack move you don't have to move the mouse around, you just alternate a move command and an attack command while keeping your mouse in the position you want to be moving

In the early game before you have attack speed it's pretty easy to just manually do it, but once you get some attack speed it can be useful.

Not sure if I'm explaining this well but anyways... I find it extremely clunky to press shift click so I bound the attack move command to the page back button on the side of my mouse, so instead of fucking around with the shift key I just alternate pressing mouse buttons, feels a lot more natural this way and I highly recommend it.

pacience in the first place, always try not to exaggerate in the early levels (if you're not 100% sure that it would be worth and safe or you're not having your jungler comming) just fully focus on your farm when you get used to it, you can try getting a bit more aggresive (for example harrasing with Caitlyn 's long range)

always, ALWAYS ward (or tell your support to) those sneaky little jungle bushes (especially if on the blue team)

At 1:45, Tristana can attack move without even clicking Zac or anywhere behind her. I think he left click anywhere in front of Trist (walk) > shift+left click anywhere in front of Trist (attack) > left click anywhere in front of Trist (walk) > ...

Easy Attack-Move Tip:

Bind the attack-move command to the scroll-wheel button on your mouse (or any other additional mouse button if you have a gaming mouse). This allows you to kite MUCH more easily. You simply keep the cursor placed in the direction you want to move and alternate between right-click (to move) and scroll wheel-click (to attack).

Just be mindful of minions. If a minion is closer to you than the champion you want to hit, then attack-move will automatically default to the closest target.
