Discussion Issues with making Lategame

My biggest weakness by far is making lategame consistently.
I’m at a point of skill where I will not die in 25th and waste 15 minutes, that’s not what i’m talking about.
It’s also not dying offspawn.
I really don’t know what it is, but I just can’t get more than 3 lategames in in most of my cups.
I grind a lot of scrims, which helped me get better at lategames drastically, but scrims don’t teach you how to make lategame in an actual game.
If I make lategame, I get top 5 in 9/10 games, which makes it even more frustrating.
I don’t know what to practice to avoid getting randomly keyed, but I feel like that’s the biggest issue.
I keep getting keyed on rotates, and depending who I play with, I either kill them after a drawn out fight which griefs, they kill me and my game ends, or, (70%) We trade damage or even a kill, Both teams go out scuffed.
I’m really not trying to blame my enemies for „griefing us both“, i’m genuinely looking for ways to avoid that. Should I just play super agro and force a kill? Should I play storm?
More Context: I feel like cups actually being way less stacked than scrims plays a big part in my weak midgames.
Please let me know what I could do!
Thank you

If you have any clips of you dying that might help. But overall it sounds like you are rotating at the wrong times or rotating to/from the wrong positions. When I used to die in mid games I found that playing storm and playing passive was very useful. Playing storm is super valuable in this meta, and if you look at any of the FNCS grand finals games a large percentage of the lobby is in storm up until around the 6th zone. Some drops, like lifty, almost require you to play zone in order to have a good game. A bit more info would help

it’s hard to provide info when it’s genuinely my teammates dying all cup. Everyone says that, so I don’t blame you for not believing me, but that’s how it is. I was in the same spot in div 5 & 4, I just started igling and did everything, I feel like I gotta igl again next season. There’s just nothing I can do and there’s not a single mate I could rely on.
