ADC's and what comps they go in

A few friends and I were thinking of making a team together, and I am the ADC. I have every ADC champion that is relevant (no kindred, Urgot, Miss Fortune, or Quinn) and was wondering which team comps that each would fit into. I know some, such as a Kog'Maw or Varus for a poke comp and a Sivir for engage. Can you help me out with the rest?

Kog you would need a team dedicated to peel for you. Hes not so much of a poke adc as he is a late game power house like vayne. His ult is weak unless you build ap, and you cant spam it unless you build ap. Kalista, would go well with a yas. Ashe to help engage with. Sivir is also good for disengage as well as engage. Vayne for a late game comp(like kog). Lucian for an early game comp. Lucian isnt as good as other adcs late game, because of his short range but he has very good early game damage. Jinx goes very well with a nunu and a jana. If you get jinx fed with a nunu and jana you pretty much win unless you throw hard. Azir also does well with that if you have a mid who can actually play him. Corki does great early damage falls off later, decent poke.

Where would Tristana fit in this? I mainly like her for turret destruction and for her re-positioning, but after getting out of Bronze I've been steadily losing with her because burst damage, cc, and the assumption that they will have it available for locking me down. I guess people complain that I play too safely with her.

No Miss Fortune? Q.Q

Seriously, though. Poke teams like people like Caitlyn, Corki, and Varus. Caitlyn, while poking, can keep pressure on a tower while being out of range for easy engages, which ruin a poke team's day. Corki can self-peel as well as his heavy poke and his synergy with Tri-force lets him get serious damage down even against heavy wave clear. Varus also has heavy poke, and can stop an engager right in their tracks. Ezreal brings down his own heavy poke, and has a build that puts down acceptable damage without ever being closer than 1000 units, leaving him a non-target for engages.

AoE Hell are looking for things that can back up their AoE engage. A good Varus ult makes engage stick even harder while Miss Fortune lays down AoE damage before cleaning up. Sivir can give enough speed to make engages stick without having to burn summoners. Twitch can also bring down AoE hell with his attacks, and could be good for such a team.

Pick teams want either a tower smasher or someone who's relatively mobile. Kalista puts a character looking for a pick into position and is mobile in teamfights. Jinx shreds down towers and can reasonably protect herself, and Tristana can flip in aggressively and not pay for it. Graves and Lucian are extremely bursty, which helps with the otherwise small windows. Ashe, while not having the above traits, brings her arrow, which can set up a pick anywhere on the map.

A tanky team that thrives off of extended engages is happy with an ADC that can keep in them. Tristana, for her extended range, and Graves for his durability and general safety can thrive in those teams. Kalista can easily keep moving in such a fight, and hands a tanky team another engage/reposition.

Kog'maw, Vayne, and Twitch typically want a team built around them. When they're balanced, they pile down a ton of damage without very much safety to go with it. They all need lots of peel, but give you insane results in return. Draven, with his weird mechanics can reasonably fit into this, and doesn't really have the traits to excel in other specific comps (though he can do well).

Caitlyn Varus Ashe Tristana Ezreal poke/siege comp Sivir stampede comp, has her own category Graves Lucian Twitch pick comps KogMaw MissFortune Draven Vayne Lucian VIP comp, protect them and they provide the bulk of your teams damage Ezreal Kalista Lucian Kiting comps, causes the enemy to need to invest quite a bit of resources to actually lock them down, can deal damage to them or separate enemy teams during this time Corki AD heavy comps, deals magic damage, physical damage and true damage, buy item 3020 and item 3078 and play as a caster Teemo doesn't fit any comps well, would not recommend Urgot more of an AD caster, or a bruiser than a marksman Quinn not an ADC, if you play her bot she fits the role of a bruiser/assassin much better, similar to playing most Melee ADC bot lane and has the same goals, kill the enemy ADC build item 3153 item 3142 item 3035, if you are ahead item 3078 item 1330 item 3072 , if you find the enemy squishies alone you can 100-0 them as fast as an assassin.

Any Melee ADC or bruiser bot(Rengar Tryndamere Fiora Garen Singed Elise Diana Mordekaiser etc.): hard engage/skirmish comps, relies on either rushing the enemy back line and cleaning up the front line after that or fighting split fights/making picks
