ADC Biatch
My League is updating very slowly due to having problems with my computer so I thought I'd write a detailed guide on becoming a better adc.
Main a champ/champs:
In this case you only might like a few selected champions available for the ADC role but opening up to try new champs is always good when it comes to ranked games, thus is due to being able to counter your enemy ADC.
You don't need to know EVERY single adc just have at least 3-5 of them that you can play and know well. This being the passives and abilities for example if you play caitlyn if you didn't know if you're standing in a bush your "headshot" passive that gives you more damage upon the next hit activates a lot faster than standing outside of a bush.
These little details really do help and really do matter when trading or fighting the enemy.
Trading/fighting:
you need to know who is stronger in a fight, you and your support or the enemy adc and the support. a great way to find this out is by trading damage to see who comes out with more/less health. This isn't important but it lets you know if you should play safer by not pushing and freezing the lane.
CS:
This is what matters the MOST! it's all about the first back and the most CS. keeping up with CS is the key to winning a lane and also killing the enemy of-course. When you back the first time you need to be looking to have over 1600 gold depending on what items you're going for but the main item an adc tends to need is the BF sword + 2-3 pots. When you return to lane you can check what the enemy bought and make your plays from there but also still keep up on the CS.
Jungle/Ganks/Map awareness (Enemy Inc):
This is another important thing you need to always be checking is where that enemy jungler is, should you be pushing your lane hard with no ward or no vision on to where that enemy jungler is? if you're pushing the enemy into their turret and the enemy jungler comes in for a gank there's a high chance you might die if they still have summoners. Don't make the same mistake twice because I bet you've already used your summoners the first time. Just try to freeze your lane and you'll be fine.
Friendly ganks can always work if you set it up right, you need to communicate with your jungler to find out if he can gank and when. Once you know you need to let the enemy ADC and support push further into your tower so it makes it harder for them to escape the gank.
How to freeze:
Freezing is simple, let your minions do all the damage and you last hit them gaining the gold. most adcs tend not to do it because they'd prefer to push but if you keep doing it all you need to do is blast the remaining minions down and start over with freezing this will just hold the minions back from the tower.
How to last hit CS under the turret:
From a level 1-6 point of view when you're damage is still basic all you need to do is auto attack the minion once let the tower hit the minion then you last hit the minion to kill it. Pretty simple eh?
Now I know I've probably missed a few things out but my brain is slow and my eyes are tired but I think I've covered most of the important things to become a better adc.
Hope ya'll enjoy good luck
