Hey there! Rather new ADC here looking for advice on how to climb out of Bronze.

I'm aware that I tend to play really passively and try to farm, which can cause problems when allies go for ganks that I'm not comfortable engaging on. (Often junglers or supports that want to go in 2v3 >< ). I've been consistently trying to improve my CS/Farm, but I do miss far more than I'd like. It seems that whenever I do trade, I often end up going dead even or losing the trade, even using expunge, and often if I get forced out of lane/leaving to buy I will find my tower heavily damaged or destroyed.

Tips, advice, or coaching offers all welcomed.

Hello, fellow inhabitor of the bottom lane,

I myself am a Plat ADC main, so I am not the best player. But I do consider myself a decent coach : )

I am kinda in the mood to help you carry yourself out, and willing to give it a shot.

If you manage to record a game of yours where you neither stomp your lane, nor feed hard, I'd like to invite you to our teamspeak server and analyze it with you. Maybe you can pick up a thing or two. : )

Thing is, I play on EUW, so you'll need to contact me mainly through the boards.

If you are interested, get that game of yours and write back asap. My sleep/work/game shedule is pretty messy, you chace is high we'll catch eachother at a more or less wake state. : )

greez,

DeFMUDE

I've helped a few people climbed out of lower Elo and even myself got out so isn't impossible you just have to work for it. Feel free to add me and I could explain you important stuff and I could spectate a game of yours so we can discuss specially what you have to work on. :)

Be aggressive and focus on positioning in team fights.

Even if you're playing late game champs, you can still be pretty aggressive in lane

Hey, Jamini. I am a diamond 3 ADC main who streams at http://www.twitch.tv/awesomechad . I do commentary,i explain mechanics, and answer ur questions in chat. I can teach u how to improve as an ADC.

Now, just based off of your match history, I notice that your itemization for twitch is slightly off. On twitch, you'd generally want to build Botrk>Youmuu's Ghostblade > Infinity edge> Last whisperer > SS/PD > some defensive item. If you can't manage 2 items with active effects, then you'd want to rush Static shiv/Phantom dancer after botrk but youmuu's ghostblade is better on twitch because the armor penetration and active synergizes with twitch's ult and the item is extremely cost efficient on twitch for the stats it gives.

I can tell you that I always look to play aggressive. I never play passive unless I'm forced to because of the situation. I guarantee u that no one at my elo plays passive unless they're forced to. You need to learn how to play aggressive if you want carry the game. When ur allies come to gank, u always should be in position to follow up on their engage. You only engage on the enemy if the situation is favorable. Farm is important but knowing multitask both farming and harassing the enemy is an important mechanic for bot lane. You mostly want to harass the enemy when you don't have to cs minions. And before you recall, you almost always want to push the minion wave so the enemy minion wave doesn't pile onto your turret when ur gone from lane.
