I have a 46% winrate and recently fell out of plat. I'm finding it really hard to find the problem. I don't feed, I ward, I focus objectives, I roam a lot when I play mid, and I consistently have a good amount of gold every game. It's easy to find your problems when they're simple, like you're losing lane and feeding, or you just autopilot when you get a lead and chase kills, ignoring objectives, etc., but I don't do any of those things. Lane gets easier and easier the more I fall, so I often find myself with a lead; but since I play Zoe, who is not good in team fights, if my team is getting ran over, there isn't much I can do in a team fight to salvage it. I'll barely get out one spell rotation before everyone's dead, and it's not like she can split push. I know she is supposed to play around vision and picks, but when your team has no control of the map that is exceptionally difficult.

I can only really think of two things, either I'm a KDA player because I don't die much, or the champions I play simply can't climb in this elo effectively. The former I don't think is true, because I bend over backwards for kills, I just don't feed in lane and I play very safe champions so I don't die much. The latter might make sense for Zoe, but I play a lot of ADCs so that would mean the whole role is obsolete in this elo. I really don't want to have to change my champ pool, but if I have to what mid laner would be best in gold/plat elo? I'm thinking maybe something like Talon. And if you have an idea as to why I'm losing please tell me.

there are champions that climb through lower elos far easier than others it's not something you should be scratching your head over

tryndamere/yorick/nasus can probably win low elo games on their own 90% of the time

champions like azir/ryze/sylas/zoe are more reliant on having someone to either follow up correctly or set you up correctly now these champions become really op when coordination becomes a thing and are really meh when it's not a thing

i would suggest you play ekko and learn to snowball with him until you get to like diamond then zoe should be easier for you to pick up again and continue the trend of snowballing

watch midbeast if you want to learn how to do that with ekko i think he once mentioned an ekko otp too that was insane at laning and snowballing watch bjerg when he plays zoe too

good luck

Youre probably maining low impact champions. While you youreself dont do or play poorly, your champions just dont impact the outcome.

Be a meta slave if u want to win.

riot assigned loss streak, just spam games until your team isn't at a 10 kill deficit by 10 minutes anymore.
