Winning lane every single game, but always losing games.

Hey guys, so recently I've been really getting into league and have put a lot of time into it. I've also started playing predominantly mid lane Zed. Every game I tend to win lane. I have yet to lose lane at this point and I always go positive every match. It seems that every game there's always one lane, usually bot, that is feeding like crazy. I usually go in for ganks and help my team out by roaming once iI get a few kills, however we always lose the game. The person I was completely destroying in lane would often run around later and pick up kills on my teammates and become ridiculously fed by late game and dominate us in teamfights. I'm really not sure why it's like this for almost every game I play with Zed. Is it his lack of teamfight utility? In teamfights I usually just rush in, assassinate the ADC, and get out, but my team still fails to secure the rest of the kills. Maybe it's not my team, but rather my play style? Currently I'm not ranked, but I'm working towards that. I would appreciate any tips and criticism on how to improve my win rates. Sure, winning lane every game is great, but it doesnt matter if you lose the game at the end.

Here's my lolking just for reference: http://www.lolking.net/summoner/na/66464031#matches

You should try to last hit the minions more. The reason you lose the game is that you don't last hit the minions enough. When the enemy team gets as many kills as you do but also has an item or two just from farming better, you do less damage and you lose.

There are no doubt a lot of other errors, but that's consistently obvious.

When you're winning lane, there's a few things you can do to help win the game. One, keep pushing and pressuring mid so that your laner doesn't have a chance to catch up. Two, start warding and hunting down the enemy jungler while he's farming camps. Three, gank other lanes and help them push towers and/or get dragon.

It's true that Zed isn't the greatest teamfighter. He IS great at splitpushing, though, especially if you're so ahead that no one can out-duel you. If your team can't win teamfights, sometimes the best thing you can do is push a side lane and attract the enemy away from your team. Make sure you ward if you do this, and plan an escape route.

As Zed, try to be aware of your teamates positioning. You might personnaly feel safe to go assasinate the ADC with 2 teamates to check your back and an ability to escape. But do they have such escape ? What will happen to them once you jump the wrong wall ? you might go in a 3v4, systematically kill their ADC and go out without a scratch but you also leave your 2 teammates in a 3v2 between 2 walls. You go 5/0/0 , but your team is still 5/10/10 while theirs is 10/5/15.

This is just speculations, I didn't saw you games, but I bet you do it once in a while.

You should use op.gg for stats (way better than lolking imo)

K, so the first thing I notice is that your cs totals are pretty low. Zed is one of the easiest champs in the game when it comes to last hitting and farming in general. If you can get your cs totals up then that will really help you snowball the game.

Secondly, as mentioned by someone else already, zed is not a team fight champion at all (watch SKT vs FNC when febiven plays zed). He does his best work split pushing when ahead. Look up guides for zed and split pushing and you should improve a lot.

I seem to have a similar problem, but its that for some reason as of 3 days ago I've been getting facerolled non-stop in lane and losing a lot of my games from seemingly nowhere. Rip. ;-;
