You die 9.8 times per game (Gold average: 6.3). Deaths hand over gold, tempo and objectives. Before walking forward ask: where is the enemy jungler, and do I have vision of this bush? Trade a kill you are not sure of for a safe recall.
You average 4.8 CS per minute as Mid; Gold players average about 5.8. Every 15 CS is roughly a kill worth of gold. Practise last-hitting under tower, shove the wave before recalling, and catch side waves between fights instead of standing in lane doing nothing.
You spend 17% of your games dead. Late deaths cost a minute each; when a fight is lost, back off and defend rather than adding one more death to it.
You deal 30% of your team's champion damage. Protect that: buy the defensive item when the enemy has an assassin, and let the tank engage first.
3.7 solo kills per game — you win 1v1s. Use that threat to draw the enemy jungler to your lane and free up the rest of the map.
Katarina: 3 wins in 4 games (75%). When you need LP, this is the pick — climbing is easier on a champion you win with than on a "stronger" one you don't.
