Is it me?

Hi,

I've been on losing streak quite a lot recently. I barely manage to get win of the day.

So I mostly play Ezreal as MM. I try my best always, but my team keeps feeding.

I manage to pass the laning phase without dying, sometimes I die once because of my lack of focus. Sometimes I manage to get quadra kill.

But in the mid-late game, there is always a fed 12-1-5 mid, jg or top focusing me and jumping on me under tower killing me and I can't do anything. Like Zed, Jax, or Yi.. Etc. This also happens in team fights.

So most of my deaths happen from mid to late game because of my team feeding other lanes.

I never lash on my team mates for feeding nor do I blame them. I only write if I have something of benefit to write.

But, I am not succeeding. Do I always have to carry my team alone? And if can't, what is the solution?

Thanks

Duo que with someone who can peel these champs off of you

Don't ask if its you or your team - some games you can do nothing about, others you will throw, sometimes you and your team is just outmatched. The only impact you can have on your team (aside from the rare morale/coordination via chat/pings) is by getting better over time. So focus on you. Thats what you can improve. You'll have losing sprees and winning sprees, but inevitably if you are getting better you will climb.

Now looking at your op.gg:

You went 1 and 7 in a single day. If you start going on a losing spree, you should stop playing ranked, at least for a bit. Whether you want to admit it or not, you're likely getting tilted. Either do something else or play norms for a bit to reset. Even jumping in bots or practice tool can help, but you need to reset and focus on your mechanics and macro rather than thinking about breaking the loss streak.

The primary source of income in this game is minions. You have an average 4.6 cs/m on Ez. 4.8 on Talon, and 5.7 on Vayne. Improve those numbers - freefarming should be getting ~10, and you should try to get as close to that as possible. I'm in Gold and am trying to improve my average 6.8 across my top 5 champs.
You have an average 5.8 deaths on Ez, 8 on Talon, 7 on Morg so far this season. Last season you had several champs. Your 3 most played champs last season are all below 4.4, although even then you had a lot of champs with high death averages.

If the deaths are in the early game you could be greeding for kills/cs/tower, not warding/watching map, or in some other way not respecting your opponents by being over aggro or not backing. Obviously it wont always be you, but focus on the times it is you and note what you did wrong and how to correct it.
If the deaths are mid-late game you are mis-positioned. Sometimes its inevitable, in the midst of a fight you get picked but your team can still clean up, but as an ADC you need to be wary of who will try to kill you and track cooldowns of their initiation spells. You may be diving deep when they have spells up, or not respecting unwarded areas they can approach you from. Or maybe you are getting caught pushing.

You didnt play any Ez, Talon, or Morg last season and last season you had a 29 champion pool, narrow it down for now, branch out later. I don't know how many games you practiced that aren't on your op.gg but you may just need more practice.
Adjust your build path. You built triforce every game on Ez. When they have 3+ physical damage threats IBG is almost always gonna be better. Its also 1000g cheaper. Also consider Tabis in these games (which you did once)

A game against Trist, Yas, Graves, Gnar = get IBG.
Riven, Shyv and Trist = IBG
Yasuo, MF, Jax = IBG
Garen, Kha, Zed, Ashe = IBG
Lee, Garen, Lucian = Triforce if ahead, IBG if behind.

u go on a winstreak. then a lose streak. then a win streak again. its pretty much how it works around here just need to deal with it. if i lose 3 games then will i take a break for 1 hour or 2. it usally works for me. but its never you team fault (or well maybe sometimes if they run down mid but then should you just accept you lost and move on to the next game)
