So I main top lane but Whenever I play ADC in ranked I have to play vane or Ezreal

So, I was wondering what ADC is simple and doesn't require a lot of mechanics.

Thanks for the help and have a wonderful dayitem 3078

You're like me! I also main top :D When I play ADCs I rather go for the safe laning phase champs to make sure I'll do alright. Therefore, I must recommend Caitlyn and Ezreal . Keep in mind EZ is a very skill oriented champ, but he's pretty safe in lane. I always pick champs with escapes just in case if anything were to happen.

Vayne is my 3rd favorite, but stick with the first two, aye?

learn sivir. Sivir

if you can orbwalk well then the only 'trick' you need to learn from her kit is the double auto you can get with her w by cancelling the animation, which isnt hard its just a timing thing.

most of the depending on your play style i would recommend different adcs for you.

if your looking for a simple champ caitCaitlyn or tristTristana are pretty much just right click and win.

ezEzreal corkiCorki lucianLucian are you trinity force champs. they use there spells much more often then other adc and to get the most damage out of them you will have to be able to hit skill shots. these champs often have longer ranges with their skill letting you poke down the other team.

varisVarus and asheAshe both bring some nice cc to the game but really lack escapes once their ult cc is down. both have a little kitability with slows but not the great "get out of gank free cards" that a lot of adcs have.

gravesGraves and dravenDraven are higher risk higher burst champs. both of them have shorter ranges and require you to put yourself in more danger to take full advantage of their damage.

Sivir is a good counter pick to graves but i wouldnt your her until you get good with her spell shield and even with that i feel she is a little weak right now. same with mf MissFortune i just feel she is in a weaker spot atm

Kalista i havent played with yet so i cant tell you much about her.

Personally I like sivir and just focus on farming. ADC is my worst position, but I never really have problems as long as I'm not aggressive

Jinx right now is very easy to play, has great long-range cc. Personally I like KogMaw or Tristana as their high-poke and insane late game. If you don't main adc and get forced into that position, it is always good to have a lategame champ as you will be likely playing very passive. I wouldn't worry too much about escapes, the occasional jungle gank should be fine if your team is attentive and your support is on the ball.

Graves Graves is probably the easiest and strongest choice. He's a little extra durable than any ADC, has a reposition skill, poweful burst at 6 and when ahead, synergizes with most supports too. His damage scaling is fine too, it's just his range is a little low.

Corki Corki, similar to Graves but with more emphasis on poke + range. More range, more poke, less DPS and burst than Graves late though.

Sivir Sivir. More of a team supporter pick. Not as aggressive a laner as the two above but she can pressure hard with her waveclear at least. She offers decent burst if you land Q decent scaling similar to graves and like him is short range. Her ultimate buff is very powerful though, and spellshield is very useful.

Those three are a good first choice IMO

ive been stomping low elo with tristana lately, press q and right click to instagib anyone, then use your reset on rocket jump to get near the next one lol

just farm early, dont reach for an advantage, it will come to your cuz she scales great. plus your rocket jump has good distance making you hard to gank and your ult can be used as a disengage

Graves is quite a solid pick IMO. He has high burst, high survivability.

Caitlyn if you want EASY, ok escape and long range champion. Good for beginner ADCs wanting to learn the role. POKE BASED Graves if you want overall easy mechanics and high burst. Short range but HIGH BURST

TBH, I don't recommend you to play Draven, Varus, Ashe now. After you've learned the role, it's easier to play them. What makes them "bad" (NO THEYRE NOT BAD) is that they have no escape like Trist, Graves, Corki etc.

Pretty much all ADCs require good mechanics, most of their gameplay is clicking different things quickly and accurately to attack and reposition yourself. If you're not used to this or don't want to invest a lot of time in learning this, I'd recommend Lucian since he's fairly easy to pick up and is more spell-based/less-right-click-based than many other ADCs. Just don't turn off your brain and go stupid aggressive like most Lucians I see ;)

Some champions I recommend you avoid: Corki, Ezreal, Vayne, Draven, Kalista, Kog'Maw, Twitch. All require very good mechanics/positional awareness, etc.

Graves is strong, and fairly easy to play, but can fall off late against KogMaw Lucian Vayne Tristana Twitch Jinx (probably some others, but I can't think of them right now). However, play your early game right and they'll be far enough behind that they should die pretty easily.

Lucian takes a ton of skill, especially since his latest nerf. However, if you figure him out, he has an incredible powerspike with Trinity Force.

Vayne is a strong champ who's not very mechanically challenging. However, her early game is one of the worst in League. DO NOT PLAY VAYNE LIKE AN AD CASTER! She has a very unusual playstyle compared to most ADCs right now. However, if you can exploit her strengths, she is ridiculously powerful late-game, and is almost impossible to beat due to her skill kit meaning that she can kill almost anyone in 3 autos.

Jinx is fairly easy to pick up and very fun. She was my first good ADC. Her fatal flaw is lack of mobility.

IDK about Cait and Ez. However, a useful tip about Cait (one of my friends plays her) - her Headshot stacks twice on each auto when she's in brush.
