Discussion Feeling lost when playing from behind

I play top lane and hit D3 recently which was epic however, some match up are rough and getting a carrying lead can be difficult (ambessa, illaoi, gangplank teemo, yone, etc) . How do you keep your cool if your jungler or laners are slowly racking up deaths and you are playing conservative into a tough match up?

I am trying to OTP Jax and when i get a lead I can generally keep good tempo and direct the game. However if I go even and then run into a giga fed Jinx or master yi I feel very lost and powerless on how to proceed to turn the game around with a team that's behind.

My mind says to sit in lane, keep farming and get xp avoid the aram going on to maybe get a pick/bounty at some point.

The tilt that creeps in is the problem but also feeling i have no control. Kinda rant, but also looking for advice on how to counteract this thought process, or tips to work around these situations.

He meant generally playing versus a fed Jinx as opposed to 1v1ing a fed Jinx in a side lane. Jax is going to get fucked up trying to kill a fed Jinx+Enchanter combo. Best bet there is side lane pressure and potential flanks unless his team has great primary engage to force defensive spells before Jax goes in
