I feel like I am dealing less and taking more damage than normal

Lately I have been noticing that even on champions I am comfortable with I am dealing way too little damage and taking a lot of damage. I don't know if maybe I changed something about my builds or runes or masteries or something and don't remember or something.

Like one game I got fed as lucian and feel like I did maybe 20% of a squishy's health out of a full combo with passive autos between them, then I played against him and at like level 4 he was one shotting me with the same combo.

I never played against a graves, but I had a graves game where I was fed and had a similar issue.

Those two games were on aram, but I don't see how that matters any.

As malzahar I could have a W out, E them, and they could sit there and tank 4 of my voidlings and take maybe 25% hp if they didn't kill them and let it hit them the full duration.

Idk, I just feel like I am doing something way wrong lately. Thanks in advance for any help and sorry if I sound whiny or something.

in your specific example that happened most likely because you were lacking some game knowledge

http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Graves

read his E passive

Also graves is currently a jungler sortof.. he doesn't have to be squishy and he is really good at regenerating health.

More than likely you are noticing some changes to something and haven't adapted yet, you should link some games where you felt weird about your damage

Hi.

You need to remember that just because you play against what are assumed squishies - doesnt mean they are in every match - even against the same players.

I have a few really good examples of this.

Every play against a Vigar that usually can 1 shot people because of his passive and ult?

Doesnt happen when you start 24 flat MR in lane against him and just continue to build MR
I did this as a lulu in ranked and my first item was banner of command

He had a really hard time because I would easily push him out of lane because he would exhaust all his mana trying to ruin me when I just could easily heal it back while taking very little damage

Same thing applies in bot lane

a squishy support could take flat armor 24 and take almost not damage from autos.

If you are having a problem in your matchup - maybe try lolnexus and see what runes your targets are carrying - you may need to adjust your build to compensate on your ADC such as MortalReminder/LordDominicsRegard

Agreed.

When I play jinx I take 26% attack speed runes to start and build straight into damage

1.IE 2.Rannans or Phantom

I always take Phantom over rannans if there are hard hitting AD's in the game like : Draven, Yasuo, Darius

The other of [ 2 ] if I dont get StaticShiv 4.EssenceReaver

This build alone will generally kill everything UNLESS they have majority tanks.

If they only have 1 or 2 tanks then finish with BlackCleaver.

I played another jinx game using my ad caster set, cant remember exactly what it had but I think it was armor pen marks and quints, but it felt more like I am used to. Maybe I was just using different pages than I was before since I came back?

Eh I will experiment some more, thanks for the help everyone.
