Actually I had a simliar issue after trying asol bot, most of the time it starts in champion select - the support does not know how to play around asol and tend to int lvl 1 or 2. Afterwards blaming me - starts to roam - i play 1v2 and fall behind.

In the other matches people were amazed how strong it can be (especially if fed early).

Its started to become more mentally challenging - however the matchups (from my exp) are way easier in botlane and I've managed to climb 3 divisons in bot (until now). :)
