You're probably playing against better and better players, since you are ideally always improving. The better the player, the more they know how to safely retaliate. You, conversely, need to learn when it is safe to pop your passive. Basically, if they are going to run away from you the whole time but you'll catch up, do it. If they're just going to stand there and take it, do it. If they will deal less damage than you when they fight back, do it. If not, take the free damage you get and call it good.

One thing I had to learn as Lux was when to even use my spells. She has high mana cost and is therefore, not spammable early. Only use you spells if you can do more than one of these two things, escape a gank, push safely (that means wards), get 2+ cs, hit them with the spell. If you do that, you will deal damage to them, and more importantly out farm them and stay alive. People seem scared to push, but with some wards and proper map awareness it's actually to your advantage as you out cs them usually.
