ashe main looking for advice on adapting to higher elo

I recently shot from gold 4 to gold 1, highest I was before was gold 2.

it's so frustrating playing ashe in solo que - or at least, this is what I think . I feel like every game I have to play passive in lane or die - and then it comes to grouping, and if I so much as walk up to auto there's someone flanking/diving/ulting in to kill me. even if I'm really behind, everyone just focuses me.

I know on principal it helps to "just position better" but cmon that's a generic reply, please don't give me that. cs and positioning are both things I've constantly been working on since I started, and I Know I'll be working on them way past when they seem perfect.

I'm looking for good tips... when have you either played v an ashe and felt they did something you don't normally see that was really impressive? when have you, to the ashe players, what do you do that really effective? I need to find something I'm not thinking about. or, strategies of aggression I'm not handling well. it is so depressing that ashe is popular in LCS right now, because goddamn I feel like every team I'm in, the players work against me. never peeling, supports constantly pushing waves... it's tilting and I'm focusing too much on what I can't control. so I'm looking for advice on what I can do?
