Is farming really the game deciding mechanic?

Here's a look at my skill set, as you can see, im basically good on everything BUT farming.

Now take a look at TFBlades skill set.

And as you can see, hes good on everything, but Survivability. Is farming the key thing to go for? I notice TFBlade dies quiet a bit in his games, I always try to maintain at least 5 or less deaths. But I see TF getting 7-14 deaths pretty frequently. If its not 7-14 deaths, then he only has about 2-4 kills. So Im just trying to understand what im doing wrong for the most part. I understand my cs isnt the best (I average about 6cs/m), but I just want to find the pure reason. Because there should be more to it than that.

You need to keep in mind that your stats are plat 4 stats and his stats are D 1 stats.

If you were thrown into his games, your stats wouldn't be even remotely close to what they are now.

Keep in mind that his stats are also going to be deflated compared to the majority of the player base since he is playing against the top players in the region regularly.

Farm = Gold = Advantage = Win

Not as much anymore because of the cs bounties. If the enemy misses farm they will eventually get it back via the bounty system.

I've been watching TF Blade's streams a lot lately, almost religiously. I'm trying to figure out why he is able to not lose games below Platinum. After watching well over a dozen matches over the past couple weeks, the best I can come up with is pressure. TF Blade favors exerting a tremendous amount of pressure in his games. He finds way to exert hardcore pressure which causes to enemy team to respond in a particular but predictable way. He then uses the foreknowledge of what they are most likely going to do to just shit on them.

Basically, TF Blade excels at controlling the enemy team's actions through pressure and uses that control to give his team favorable conditions so they can be more effective at whatever they are doing. I've been trying to imitate this style but it's not as easy as he makes it look. So many weird circumstances come up where I don't know what I should be doing. He doesn't have that problem. He always knows exactly what he should be doing, no matter what kind of sorry state the match might be in on account of shit team mates.

TFBlade has a playstyle where he always pushes lane. Never stops pushing, ever. This playstyle draws attention from the rest of the map so he never has to leave lane. Its annoying for the other team as they have to bring more than 1 player to stop him. Trading kills 1 kill for 1 death isn't so bad on champs he plays Akali/Irelia etc.

You can play autopilot farmers such as Yasuo if farming is your issue Generaly stick to AD champs also

It probably boils down to him calculating what times his team can benefit better from a sacrifice versus him being alive. The difference probably has nothing to do with farming tendencies, although you obviously farm more.

The deficit in his farm is probably CAUSED by his willingness to make a sacrifice, not the other way around.

ie: you play too safe, and need to discern when your triple is going to enable an ace, a 3 turret push, etc.
