New Kai'sa main would love some advice
Hi ADC/Kai'sa enjoyers,
I got addicted to Kai'sa recently and want to get better at her.
My main champ has always been Ashe and I can play her at plat level (was plat 2 a few weeks ago). I have also tried Jinx recently, got demoted to gold with 30% winrate in my 50 first games, then climbed back to plat in the next 50 games.
I thought I could do something similar with Kai'sa, but it is not working so far. I played 135 games (also spammed brawl and normals before going to ranked) and went from plat 2 to silver 2 in a matter of weeks. I am currently stuck in silver and am surprised that I can't even go back to gold.
I have tried a few different things : 1) same playstyle as when I play Ashe or Jinx, somewhat balanced aggression 2) playing very aggressive even if neglecting farm 3) going for 10 cs/min and only going for 100% plays. None really worked, although my best results are from option 3 (I suspect it is because I'm now playing in silver, would probably not work higher but who knows).
My champion mastery is still improving I think, but I still can't out damage a Miss Fortune, Smolder (banning him now) or Jinx in teamfights. Trying to assassinate them, before or during these, has a high variance, especially if my team doesn't have strong engage.
Also, I understand that Ashe and Jinx are stronger champions currently, but I can't imagine the difference in power level is from plat to silver.
Did some of you have similar difficulties at the start of your Kai'sa journey ?
