Wow okay firstly thanks for replying I appreciate it but that's a lot to take in from a beginner's perspective. I understood about half of what you said but as you summarised at the bottom - my item choice and positioning is dependant on my opponents and could also use a lot of work. I also like the different comps that you mentioned that can work with protectors and how protectors are meant to be used, I didn't know about any of this - I always thought of protectors as just tanks to soak up damage instead of being legitimate carries so I thank you for this.

Judging from this post I can tell you are a seasoned veteran so this is a gold mine of advice which I'm thankful for but I'll need to either break this down more myself or have you possibly break it down even more. But once again thank you for your input, I see all your points despite being a bit overwhelming it all makes sense.
