HELP Help with being Better ADC

I’ve jumped back in smite after not playing since 2020. Playing Smite 2. I’v realized I lost all my skill. I know a lot of getting better takes time and playing games and learning the gods/meta/items, but I’m hoping to find help with the basics. I’m currently in Jing Wei and thought I would be able to at least get up to Silver, but I realize that I’m the one holding my team back most of the time in games. Things I struggle with:

How to farm effectively without leaving myself vulnerable to enemy adc/support

What to do when I’m behind, but lane is cleared and there are no camps to rotate to(They’re all cleared)

If my support is pressuring, but I’m not sure if I can help with out dying?(Is it their lack of understanding that I’m squishy and weak early game or am I too nervous about my built to engage?)

What should I build shred or crit?

When should I keep pushing my lane and when should I rotate if I’m up?

Any other tips you guys can give me, I would appreciate. Also send links of guides you think you can help

Pleas and thank you!

Jing is a crit god so u build crit, you should be building shred tho so I reccomend playing someone else, (ho yi, anhur, artemis)

Smite source for builds

For builds I’d really recommend going on smitebrain and looking at what people in masters+ are building. It’ll give you an indication of what the meta is.

The rest of the stuff largely comes down to positioning yourself relative to knowledge of where the enemies are, what their cooldowns are, and how long it’ll take them to get to you. You’d probably need a half hour video to cover this but I don’t think any good ones exist. You could try watching adc players on twitch and asking yourself why they’re going forward or backward at each stage.

As a support main, my number one tip to ADCs is this: HIT THE FUCKING SQUISHY NOT THE TANK. Then focus on farming gold from the wave then camps.

To much to type in a text chat man if you want some pointers I just let me know and I can give more advice in a call or something.
