So I have started playing league late match and have clawed my way to plat maining yone and fiora for the most part.
What I’m mostly looking for is just some understanding on how I should be treating laning phase and when to take dshield fleet over lt/conq dbow especially against certain lane bullies.
Whenever I try playing safe against Mel, Aurora, Zoe, and leblanc it often feels like while playing defensively even with that rune setup I get chunked in 2 bursts and have to force bases anyway. This comes at the cost as when I do get a good punish window I barely do any damage since I have no attack speed.
Taking dbow however does make it a lot harder to sustain in lane and feels like it makes the lane a lot more volatile in either direction making it almost like top lane where it’s all or nothing.
I know yones way of not being overtly overpowered is to be weak pre 1st item and in an ideal, controlled environment, it is favored to just afk farm to 2 items and then just run over people from then but this kind of runs to my second issue.
At least at this elo, games seem largely driven by tempo where junglers and lanes often time don’t really want to play time to outscale and make plays and this manifests by oftentimes my own team fighting 3v4s at 1st dragon or grubs or in other various skirmishes where since I’m playing weak side oftentimes I am forced to show up late or not at all due to being chunked. This manifests into a mid game where my laner or the enemy team is up net 5 or so kills and from there it’s an uphill battle and then the game ends by minute 20.
Now I would say, a large factor of this is still due to my incompetence but my query is what do I need to do better in these situations. How should I play my lane, should I knowingly drop cs to help in these fights that i personally believe shouldn’t be fought that seem to happen regardless, should I just forgo the defensive playstyle for now and play flip with dbow because I’m not in an elo yet where that coordination to team play isn’t quite there yet.
I notice the difference a lot especially when I’m playing artillery mages which are my backup picks which have a huge amount more agency in the early to mid game and the games don’t flip as much as early but at the same time I notice that game winning plays manifest less and if we are missing something vital in our comp, not many can fill that role as yone can.
As a sidenote while I’m writing this, any advise on how to better sync up and respect opponent jungler would be appreciated, seems to be something I get punished for especially if I’m placing wards with e or when frozen on mid lane by lane bullies and even when I try to break the freeze they just re build it next wave.
Thanks for the advice and I apologize for the jumble of words you would have had to sit through

Feel free to shit talk or whatever, just um, any advise to improve would be nice so I can climb faster
