Any Tips for ranked?

So i'm in bronze 4 right now and i'm looking to improve more as an ADC. I've been practicing champions like Graves Corki KogMaw Lucian but even though they are like at the top of the meta right now I still do better with my main champs like Jinx Tristana i'm really not toxic either in ranked. I would say the thing I struggle the most in is probably objective control especially when I start to do bad in a game. Is there any tips ADC main's can give me? I would appreciate it a lot.

EDIT: Whoops forgot I was also practicing Sivir

Not that im any good at it...but CS, i looked at some of your history and you are far better at it than me, but there is a reason lcs pros are so aggressive at getting their cs, and the announcers talk about it non stop. They consider a lane losing if someone is up 20 cs..in bronze no one thinks that way, but you should. I suck at it..i know it..im working on it. Other than that, spend money on wards...they worth more than they cost. ADC's should ward just as often as the support. If nothing else upgrade your trinket to a stealth dropper and spam those bad boys.

Never be pushed up to their turret unless you vision on the enemy jungler, if you want a gank let the wave push toward your turret otherwise most junglers with any sense wont come to the lane. Practice the crap out of map awareness...its just as op as vision control. Every 15-45 seconds you should be asking yourself "where is the enemy team" and take inventory. Dont rely on mia pings, and dont even bother blaming your mid laner when you get ganked for not calling mia..you have a mini map, you didnt look, its your fault. Take responsibility for everything that happens and work to remove those mistakes.

You dont have to get X amount better, you need to get X amount less bad. Youve had great games so we know your A game can get you out of bronze, its your C game that is keeping you there. Practice until your C game is as "bad" as your A game is now...your A game will move on its own, focus on mistakes, misplays, bad positioning, farm, and not dying...usually who wins is decided on who makes that first mistake, so dont make any ;)

Thank you for taking the time to tell me all that. I do watch lcs as well and what you said about the cs difference is very true. It is actually very big. Also do you think I should increase champion pool or am I fine right now???

You can get away with 3 and there arent that many adc's and looks like you have most of the relevant ones. in fact i would almost recommend narrowing the focus to down to maybe 4, but thats your call. If all you really want to do is adc, start mapping out when you are going to look to pick each one.

Example. Jinx: Late game boss with good early and mid game. When would you want jinx? if your comp is looking late game hyper carry...yeah jinx ftw baby! if you are looking at a lot of mid game power spikes maybe corki is a better fit.

Also, even if you are hard focussing ADC, you should spend some time learning the other roles, mostly jungle. If you understand jungle well enough to play it correctly, not necessarily well but "correctly" when the jungler is hidden in the shroud, you will be able to look at the mini map and have a really good idea what they are going to want to do next so you can have "minds eye vision" on the jungler. and this works well with the other lanes, like top for example: they tp to lane? ok tp is down if we push hard on bot we can create an easy dragon opportunity, and you know this now, because you understand top and what the team expects out of you. they want you to tp in to a properly warded dragon and win a contest or just save the dragon cuz everybody is low and someone needs to take aggro.

Okay it is kinda true because I have been hard focusing ad carry while my other lanes are kinda meh. And jungle is my worst so it my be good to practice that in normals for a little bit too. ty for everything.

More wards, and concentrate really really hard on not dying. I'm still working on that as a support player, actually.
