I need some tips/advice for SoloQ with Blaziken.

I’ll start this off by saying that I’m relatively experienced with Blaziken, I have the green ribbon for it and generally know how all of its moves work.
That being said, I often find it difficult to use in ranked for 2 reasons:

1. As always, SoloQ teammates aren’t helpful. They often steal farm that you need and refuse to help you while fighting.

2. Blaziken (at least when I use it) feels like it only works in the jungle, getting an early head start on levels and evolution. Anytime the jungle is already taken, and I try to play it in lane, it just feels slow and weak for the first half of the game due to how weak Torchic is.

I’ve experimented with items like the Aeos Cookie, Energy Amplifier, Razor Claw, and others, but it almost always feels dependent on whether or not your team will let you farm. I know Blaziken can be strong and I’ve won a lot of games with it, but I’m curious if anyone has any other tips that may help me improve, such as items/emblem builds or general advice for lane games when I can’t secure the jungle. I saw a similar post on here for Dhelmise and figured this post could help.
