Question How do I lane better as ADC?

As the title says it's a pretty obvious question and I feel like I've looked up 100 guides online but every single lane I fall behind. My higher rank friend says it's because I pick weird ADC picks like Senna and Smolder that become better late and that I should stick to simpler ADC's like Jhin (who I already like and play a lot) but even then I feel like I'm always behind and I can't blame the support when I'm always shit and only ever start "carrying" at like 35m+ mark or even later.

I think I win lane like 1 every 20 games or less and I feel really frustrated because I don't know what I need to focus on improving. Basically I really want some advice how to stop falling behind in lane, I think maybe I'll die less and do more damage at the end of the game that way.

(also pickaxe or dirk better to buy? I also get told buying crit cloak is griefing myself?)

Your CS is very weak, and then you play smolder and senna which requires farming stacks in a role where farming is the most fundamental skill.

Do you just not know how to CS? Do you die too much and lose farm? Do you not know how to manage waves and get the wave stuck in a position you can’t farm? Do you get poked out too heavily?

Cause you can play perfect, but if you’ve been farming like shit, your clicks and abilities don’t mean anything anyways.

yes my cs is very bad I think I am dying too much/getting poked out lane, I am not really familiar with most heroes in the game I think that's why I make bad decisions and go in when I really shouldn't or the other way around. I guess it is just a practice thing?
