I main ADC. I can assure you it's not the hardest role to learn. The only time I can imagine someone having problems on ADC is lower tiers, where positioning is bad and diving is popular. I'm not saying it's easy, but I honestly don't think it's the hardest.
I also never said support is the hardest, and it's my own opinion. I didn't state it for your to argue, I just stated it to give my thoughts. If you think ADC is harder, that's awesome and dandy, but it's also your opinion. No one really knows which role is hardest, because all roles have their own nuances.
The reason I think support is harder, is because it requires a whole different mindset from other roles, which I love. Counter-engaging, defending your team, CCing the enemies, properly timing your buffs to mitigate as much damage as possible, chaining your CC without stacking it, keeping map vision up, denying map vision, harassing, controlling a lane, freezing a lane, blocking skillshots from your ADC so they take less damage and you can win trades, baiting, canceling dashes with CC, and so much more. There's so much to supports that other roles don't have to actively worry about, and it's such a different playstyle than "get kills, get fed, win". That's why I have shied away from maining ADC, and begun maining support. I love the role.
But you're definitely free to have your own opinion, that's just mine.
And on the ADC top thing: I think it's horrible. Vayne especially is a bad top laner IMO. She's incredibly skill-dependent, incredibly squishy, and very easy to focus fire. She's one of the most popular ADCs for top lane (not saying ADCs top are popular, but usually if someone is going ADC top, it's Vayne), so that says a lot about how (not) good ADCs are top.
