Hi so i feel like my adc pool is extremely weak. Im able to confidantly play ranked withJinx and Graves. Sivir used to be on that list but complexly lost faith in my ability with her.

Im currently trying to get better with in order Caitlyn KogMaw Vayne Varus

Sivir tips are fine too but im not sure if i just hit a rough patch with her or what ever. Just any real advice would help. Build and skill maxing order mainly is what im looking for. Thanks :D

Caitlyn Good for dominating in lane because of her passive and long range, but to me playing her gets boring after a bit. She can be built as attack speed because her passive gives her more damage, but it's a risky move to make in Ranked.

Varus Extremely good poke with his Q, but his combo requires Basic > Basic > Basic > Q or E (this is without his ult) which can be a bit difficult to pull off early game if you don't have a good amount of attack speed.

Vayne Vayne can always get back into the game because of her good scaling. No matter what, she will always do insane damage if played and built properly.

Kog'Maw Kog'Maw is a known hypercarry - this means he can pull back into the game very well just like Vayne, and will also always do a lot of damage. His ult allows for low-health opponents to be picked off easily over a long range. His passive is great in team fights, but don't always expect to get a kill.

Sivir Sivir uses a lot of mana, so you really have to use your abilities wisely. Her spell-shield is great for blocking ults such as Darius's ult, Karthus's ult, and other execute ultimates.

Jinx Jinx can really put in a lot of damage per second if you build her right and max her Q. Her combo usually requires 3 basic attacks to get her Rev'd Up Q passive out to get bonus attack speed. Her Chompers are great for pressuring lanes, and most people aren't smart enough to step on them when both Jinx and her Chompers are under tower because the tower will target her. Her W and E are great peels, and her W is great for chases. Her ult is also good for finishing off opponents long-range and close-range, but of course, as a Jinx player, you probably know this.

Graves Does so much damage at any point in the game, but isn't very good for attack speed because he's more of a burst ADC, unlike Jinx. His ult is good for initiates and finishers because of it's long range and high burst. His Q is also great for poking, team fights, skirmishes, and 1v1s, his smokescreen is a good enough peel and keeps his opponents from attacking him temporarily.

It really depends on your playstyle, so all of these champions I'd recommend to any ADC, so just pick as you will.

Cait's not the best soloqueue pick because she lacks midgame dueling strength. She has a strong lane phase but unless you get a kill or two in lane in addition to a decent CS advantage, you're going to be pretty useless until you hit 3 items.

If you want tips for playing her, I'd suggest focusing on pushing towers. Cait's early-mid game is great for rushing down outer turrets. She pairs best with siege compositions that like to group early in the game. If you have a poke mage mid like Azir or Ziggs then you can definitely consider her as a viable choice. I wouldn't pick her with a Yasuo or Morgana mid on the other hand.

Kog/Vayne/Varus I wouldn't recommend putting too much time into. If you must choose one, then I would recommend Vayne and only if you're willing to invest a lot of time into her.

Caitlyn

For Caitlyn, you're a God against any melee champion. A common tactic is to put traps where you're standing and just shoot from there.

Fight in bushes, you'll be able to use your passive more which makes you a really good damage output early game.

You can fire your Q and E at the same time in that order since Q has a cast time.

Max Q, E, W. Q and E are really good for poking and last hitting but don't underestimate traps, they're so strong if you use them right.

Varus

He's not as bad as he's made out to be, try to poke and harass really well in lane. When you have your ult it's pretty much a guaranteed kill.

Kog I would recommend not to play, because he NEEDS alot of time and gold, as well as the team to protect him very well, which is very rare in soloQ. If you want a "hypercarry" stick to Jinx, her passive really does make her unimaginably safer than Kog, needed less peel, better 1v1, CC with E. All around much better for soloQ than Kog
