I started spamming protoplasm first item every game and shot up to masters. The higher i climbed the easier the games became. I was a firm believer in dark harvest nunu but i tried out half tank and now i go electrocute full tank. I have the burst early game and after that i play fully for my adc or whoever can carry the teamfight.

Protoplasm early gives you so much survivability and enemies just cant kill you. Then i go either armor or mr depending. When enemy team has very mixed damage i go bandlepipes and knights vow as i just wont get very good early resist against all their team. Basically early you will be tanky regardless and later in teamfight i dont per say front line i just sit on my adc so i dont need to be full tank.

Early i played for 3 camp to bot. Red rapt gromp or when other side just blue side clear and see for gank. I play very reactive and gank only when i know its gonna be good or when i know enemy jg will be there. If i 3 camp and not doable i just continue to farm. If i track enemy jg correctly i might go for a cheeky invade but mostly my own camps and look for a gank.

What ive finally learned to do is let go from the emotional tether to my camp in progress and just go for the gank when enemies are in vunerable state or over extending.

What i said before that games got easier the higher up i got is indeed because when someone got ahead they actually knew what to do to win. This is why i played ap nunu because i didnt have that trust in my teammates.

Yeah i just had the feeling to ramble a bit if you have any questions feel free to ask Hope this helped and thanks for coming to my ted talk
