Gameplay/Champ Help

I have been playing for almost a year now, and decided recently that I should try to improve my champion pool for all lanes. When I attempted to tackle the challenge, I encountered a couple problems:

  1. The ad all in champs I play top lane Tryndamere Pantheon Aatrox get kited every time I go all in and instead of getting the kill, I get killed. I also play a couple mages building RoA Lissandra Swain Kassadin and then the same ad champs that I get kited with destroy me. How can improve so that I don't get kited (as much) and also so that I can improve my kiting abilities.
  2. I realized I need more diversity as an ADC, I really only have 2 ADC's I'd consider myself good at Corki Varus . Are there any others that aren't similar to these that I could pick up relatively easily, since ADC is generally my least preferred lane. Just as a back up.
  3. My champions on purple side for jungling are really messed up this season Nocturne Hecarim Fiddlesticks . As the jungle got way harder, I found myself not able to clear both camps without dying on champs like Nocturne and Hecarim. Are there any champs with really good sustain or really tanky so that I can tank through both sides? For example, I have Voli would he be a decent tank or would the skirmishers sabre wreck me too hard right now? In that case, should I go with a sustain jungler like Aatrox? (Plz, I don't want to play WW) Also, what changes could I make so that I can again jungle with Noc, Hec, and Fid regularly? Again, this is only for purple side because I normally just start golems on blue and then I can go through the entire jungle with the golem buff from smiting but I don't like doing this on purple side due to the lack of a leash...

Also, as kind of a side issue, I've been having problems with ARAM recently. I can accept the match, but I can't enter the champ select screen because my game then crashes. This has happened every time since the preseason and as its not too much of a deal because I just restart my client, is this bug normal or is it unique to my client?

Lots of questions in there but I would just find some champs that you are interested in or think are fun to play. For adc how about Tristana or twitch? They make for some really interesting gameplay with her W jump and his Q for invisibility.

Fiddlesticks is still a top tier jungler in the pre-season, so I would recommend learning him for that role. Your clear time is a lot worse now, but that is also true for the enemy jungler. Don't be hesitant to back after 3 or 4 camps, and don't fight the chickens until at least level 4. As well, consider starting at toad rather than red or blue, since Fiddlesticks has natural health drain in his kit, and the toad buff will help with clear times.

As with your dilemma with top lane, I don't really see how a normal champion would kite a Kassadin or Tryndamere without some sort of misplay. However, if you do end up against Quinn or Gnar, sometimes the best option is to not chase in the first place. I would suggest sticking to learning Pantheon for top lane. He is probably the best of the three early game, and his ult will also improve your map awareness.

As for kiting, one feature made for that purpose is A. Pressing A while giving a moment command while move your champion but also make them attack whatever within range, achieving the same effect as dragging your mouse rapidly back and forth. For a good kiting ADC, try Lucian or Vayne. Out of the two, I would recommend Lucian, as Vayne is more dependent on the Support.

Maokai and Pantheon survive the jungle easily

For adcs it looks like your favoring caster adcs... similar to that would be ezreal, graves, and lucian.

Not similar but easy... trist you just have to build right, and cait is pretty simple too.
