Assassin’s matchup as a mage

hey how are you guys

I have question, as a mage midlaner , how can i play vs assassins , my initial thought is to try to poke them as much as i can every time they try to last hit , and also to punish their cooldowns , but at lvl 3 i notice i lost hp more than them which result in them all in me lvl 3 , i tried to play safe in the first 3 lvls but the same result every time , all in lvl 3

is there a common rule i have to follow in assassins matchup ? every guide i watch says ' get the push lead ' . i push i recall , either they match my recall or build slow push or freeze , and when i go back to lane 80% i get ganked or dove and i lose 3 wave and im out of the game

i really dont know what to do i lose 100% of my games against assassins , sometimes i dodged when the enemy pick zed , fizz, katarina , etc

I feel completely stuck. Is this normal?

I've been Playing since 2021, and I'm trying really hard to improve at League. I switched to mid, one-trick Ahri, got coaching, review my games, and study matchups.

At first, I felt like I was finally improving. Then I suddenly went on a massive losing streak. Some games had AFKs or bad luck, but in a lot of games I feel like I just wasn't good enough.

Now I honestly don't know if I'm just in a slump or if I've reached my skill ceiling. I'm now on 30% win rate which i think is ridicules

For people who have climbed before:

  • Did you ever hit a wall like this?
  • How did you get through it?
  • How do you know if you're actually improving when your results keep getting worse?

I'm looking for honest advice because I'm genuinely lost right now.

Switched from ADC to Mid after years - Looking for advice from experienced mid players

Hey everyone,

I recently switched from ADC to mid after maining ADC for years, and honestly I’ve been enjoying League much more.

My goal isn’t just to hit a certain rank—I genuinely want to become a better player. I’m trying to focus on improving my fundamentals rather than obsessing over LP, so I’d love to hear advice from experienced mid laners.

If you’re high elo, what’s something you wish you had learned much earlier when you were climbing as a mid player?

Right now, I’m working on:

-Wave management
-Tracking the enemy jungler
-Roam timings
-Playing around objectives
-Improving my CS consistency

I’m currently playing mostly Ahri, and she’s been a blast. I’d like to keep my champion pool very small (2-3 champions), but I’m not sure who pairs well with her. Any recommendations?

One thing I’m struggling with is assassin matchups, especially Fizz and Zed. I often feel like one mistake means I lose complete control of the lane. Any matchup-specific advice or general tips for dealing with assassins would be greatly appreciated.

I’d also appreciate any habits, drills, or ways of thinking that helped you improve as a mid laner.

For reference:

-Main account: Gold IV (MENA) , I reached it with ADC , but the server is new and empty and the skill level is still low
-New account: Bronze III (EUW), where I’m relearning the role from scratch.

Here are my Deeplol.gg if anyone wants to point out anything obvious:

Main: https://m.deeplol.gg/summoner?userName=Shura-ADC1&region=euw

EUW: https://m.deeplol.gg/summoner?userName=Nyx-ad1&region=EUW

Thanks!
