Explain in detail the role of bot lane (notice i said lane and not just adc): The role of bot lane is complicated and not complicated. In essence you have a champion that is very weak early game(adc) that you need to carry and nuture on to the late game where he becomes an unstoppable beast, and you have a champion that brings utility and help to that champ (support) that tries to do everything that it can to make that fragile champ an unstoppable force late game that will carry your team, hence the term adc. The role of both these champions is to pressure the other bot lane to make foolish mistakes by baiting them into traps and by applying pressure so that they win lane and have a stronger adc then the opposing team, the adc needs to know that hes nothing without his teammates and he needs to rely on them to get him to the point where he can carry the game.

Your best AD carry champs: Sivir, Draven, and Caitlyn

Describe the playstyle of your top 3 ADCs, and their pros and cons and which supports compliment their playstyle: The playstyle of my top 3 adcs are very similar in essence, I choose strong early game adc to be able to deny the team as much cs and expierence as possible, given the new items in s3, teams that win early game are having a much easier time pushing throughout the game and don't have to worry about falling off late game or losing to turtle strategys( thanks to ommrecker). These 3 champs have amazing early games that destroy any adc that they are paired against which means by winning lane we can push objectives faster and we can win the game without even worrying about pushing into late game. My favorite supports to be paired up with these 3 champions are soraka for sivir, Leona with draven, and nunu with Caitlyn. The reason why I picked these supports is because they synergize with each adc so well that they can counter any bot lane match up. A sivir soraka has unlimted sustain and spam meaning they can trade and win every trade forcing the enemy bot lane to remain defensive under tower while denying exp, also with the orcaes nerf and sightstone, their jungle will have a harder time ganking bot lane which means he will need to invest even more time in helping his bot lane to try and get them back in the game while we only need to simply back out and continue wasting their time while the team can relax because the jungler will always be bot lane. With Leona and Draven we have a strong level 2 that if we snowball off of we can completely carry the game if the enemies are not careful enough, draven has near 100 ad at level 2 with his Q meaning a well timed EQ from Leona will result in the enemies death, also with this pressure they will be unable to venture close to last hit because Leona will be lurking in the bush. With nunu cait there are so many options, first of all you have a huge advantage in lane because of the range and passive of cait, and nunu only compliments that more with blood boil, then we can evolve that into a poke comp where we take early objectives and destroy any turtle strategy, I like all these champs because they can also help the team with compositions such as Caitlyn, or they can help with the use of ults such as sivir, as it is more to help the team win as the adc and not think I am the best I will win us the game and make stupid plays, because you need the team to get you there first.

Why should we choose you, what would you bring to our team?: I think I would bring a sense of humor because I am a lot less serious then the what im typing above . I just type that seriously cause of habits now lol. I have beaten 2.2k elo players before in scrims with my friends meaning I know I have what it takes to play at a semi professional level and maybe even improve to a professional level. I study the game a lot because I am unable to play sometimes cause of tournaments so I watch tournament matches of top teams and I study strategies from them so I have a lot of LoL knowledge. I am a fun guy like every other guy on the internet , and also a professional tennis player meaning I have lots of experience traveling and playing competitively which I believe is good for any team brining someone with confidence into their team. I also do home school so I can adjust to the team schedule to train at various times of the day which means I'm not a demanding teammate, also I wont try to upstage anyone on the team because I know my place. I have traveled to 20+ countries so I am very cultured and well mannered so there wont be any flaming, and I believe that I can really do well on this team if you guys give me the chance . thanks for the consideration hope to see you in game soon.

Explain in detail the role of bot lane (notice i said lane and not just adc): Bot lane early is all about farming. If you are playing an all in duo like a taric or blitz or leona support, you want to place pressure on the enemy adc in hopes of them missing minions and possibly getting a free kill. Going into mid game is all about dragon control. Wards and zoning the other team as well as not dying around 10 minutes or so (sometimes earlier) so you don't let dragon go for free. Late game is all about staying in a good position. Staying along the back lines in team fights and picking off targets you can reach safely and punishing a carry from time to time for being out of position.

Your best AD carry champs: Graves, Caitlyn, Ez, Kogmaw, and Vayne.

Describe the playstyle of your top 3 ADCs, and their pros and cons and which supports compliment their playstyle:
Graves is an all in bursty champ. I like playing him with supports like taric, leona, and blitzcrank because of the immense early pressure these duos possess. Getting an early kill is not unheard of against even the best players and with even 1 kill, the lane can snowball really hard.

Caitlyn has the longest auto attack range of all adc (minus tristana late game). She is mega poke all game. Her traps and E, Q combo are seriously hard to deal with early and can secure a kill late. With Nunu and his W, she can apply so much poke pressure. Sona can be even more deadly when played correctly due to just the insane harass both champs possess.

Ezreal is a more mobile version of Caitlyn with more harass. Q is insane high base damage and people can seldom think about killing you without dying first. I like playing Ezreal ofc with sona but also with Lulu. Both have ridiculous poke and control and make it so easy to lane for me and difficult for the enemy.

Why should we choose you, what would you bring to our team?: I'm not the best adc in the world and the best part is I know that. I take criticism constructively and turn it into better play immediately. I don't rage and I never give up in a game. I am very competitive and will do whatever it takes to get to the top.

Explain in detail the role of bot lane (notice i said lane and not just adc): Bot lane is a lane that is all about playing to the combination that both your team and your enemy team is running. You have to know when you can be aggressive in lane, and when you need to play more passive. It's extremely hard to play against an aggressive lane if you give them the lead. You can't let the other AD snowball.

Your best AD carry champs: Vayne, Graves, Ezreal, Caitlyn

Describe the playstyle of your top 3 ADCs, and their pros and cons and which supports compliment their playstyle: Vayne/Nunu - Very passive. No sustain and no really hard engage. Farm for late, or go in when you get a jungle gank. Graves/Taric: Super aggressive. Taric stun + shatter into buckshot and a few autos should 100%-30% anyone at level 2. Ezreal/Sona: Poke all day. Sona q + power chord into ezreal q should be at least 50% of the target's hp. Poke in lane and go in for the kill whenever they're low enough.

Why should we choose you, what would you bring to our team?: I am a very dedicated player who knows matchups and how to play against them. I am very aware at what is going on around the map. I am extremely dedicated and good at making decisions. I am a great listener and will follow any calls anyone makes. I am also good at accepting criticism...i'd rather have someone tell me I did something wrong, than have me do something wrong over and over again. I know matchups, positioning, and how to play in the bot lane. I know when to be aggressive and when to stay back. I know when i'm ahead and when i'm even. I know when ill be able to win a fight, and i know when i'm going to have to wait till im a little more farmed. I never give up as adc because i know that late game is where i shine, so as long as i can stall the game...there's a chance for me to win it.

Bot Lane Role: Overall the role of bot lane is extensive. Both the adc and the support role are essential in the bottom lane. That isn't to say you can't try out new strategies or maybe come up with a different combination in the future. The lane needs to make sure they have there side of the map warded and periodically attempt dragon kill when the rest of your team is near. Bot lane is also responsible for making sure the adc is getting enough cs and possibly champion kills in order for the carry to get to an optimal late game. One very important thing that bot lane and every lane for that matter needs to do is control the enemy minion wave at a certain point between your bot lane turret and the enemy bot lane turret. If you have control of this then you will be one step ahead because you can make them susceptible to ganks by your jungler or mid ap or you can push your minions so their tower can eat there gold and exp. In Bot Lane the support needs to know exactly where to position himself and when to engage obviously depending on the different champion play styles. The adc needs to learn how to last hit minions which is very important and also when to autoattack and when not to. I'm sure I've missed a few things but i can't keep writing or i'll give you a thesis on just Bot Lane.

Best ADC Champs: Ezreal, Ashe, Vayne and i can somewhat play Kog'Maw and Graves and Twitch.

From what I've seen of tournament play Ezreal, Graves and Corki tend to be the best played champs. Having said that out of the three i really like Ezreal for his mobility, damage and early game harass ability. His cons are he is a skill shot champion which requires a bit of skill plus he is squishy as hell. Also his Q which is his bread and butter can be dodged by enemy minions in the way. His abilities are mana intensive and he doesn't have any aoe minion clearing abilites. Ezreal pairs great with Soraka, Sona, Taric, Blitzcrank and Alistair. Ashe has great utility to her kit as well as an awesome global ult which could be used to initiate team fights. Her cons in my opinion is that she doesn't have as much damage or an escape ability like other champs and also she is squishy.She also has low attack speed and damage early game. She pairs best with Nunu, Alistair, Sona, and in my opinion heavy hitting tanks like Darius and Volibear. Vayne is just damn fun to play, if you play her right and you can pull off the condem ability to stun an enemy to a wall it will be rewarding. She has good damage and movement speed when chasing because of her passive and she is very easy to last hit with which makes her a great farmer if played right. Her cons are she is squishy as well and has a relatively short range coupled with her slow attack speed and the fact that she can be easily zoned.She also doesn't have an escape ability except for tumble which isn't really an escape ability but can sometimes be used a such. She pairs best with Leona, Taric, Sona, Alistair, Nunu or Lulu.

Why should we choose you, what would you bring to our team?: One reason, i hate to lose more than i like to win. I'm very competitive. That's not to say I don't have much to learn because i do but i want to get better by surrounding myself with good people who have the same sense of competitiveness and drive. I do understand that this is a game and that the objective is to have fun but i really want to learn how to play this game and get to another level of skill. In order to achieve that I want to surround myself with people of like mind that will help me along the way and maybe i can also give help back because in the end this is a team oriented game. I understand the game pretty fairly and even though I will admit I am far from the best player you have come across i doubt anyone will put the same amount of time and or effort as I will into getting better as a adc and as a whole team.
