Hello! I have been playing adc a lot recently ( usually play Jinx or Varus, but also have Ashe,and Draven) and I have been trying to learn the mechanic known as "kiting". I have one of my mouse macros dedicated to attack move click. Any advice on how to kite effectively? Or does it just come down to practice? Also, a final question if more than one champ is chasing you should you try to kite them or just run?

depends on the situation you might be able to kite and kill both you may be already death annyway

theres also champs wich will make kiting 100x more easy for you Kalista Ezreal Vayne cause they have sort of good mobility

Kiting is also known as orb walking. Basically you do auto-attack animation canceling by issuing a newer command. Typically move and attack move are issued one after another. It does no matter who is running this will result in more damage from you. Similarly you can do skill animation canceling and some champions have skills that reset AA or other skill cooldowns.

Example of skill cd is that during Riven E you can cast other skills that actually can be canceled quicker. Example of AA cooldown reset is Master Yi W - You can Yoymoo + r + e + q + AA + w + AA + Tiamat (That will hit instantly). If you think that is harsh, then you should look at Rengar - he can burst people with 3k hp and 200 def in 0.2 s out of vision (there will be no kiting).

Kiting starts to work in your favor when you have movement speed or attack range higher then enemies.

My tip for you is that learn to do this not only for adc, but every champion.

What mouse macro? I have a script that sets attack move to left click and normal move to right click. This allows me to rotate between left click and right click to easily kite. Here's the reddit post that showed me how to do it:
