FD Alot of the guides just say rush Malady and I've found it works pretty well as a first item. I just need more games with him to see what I can and can not withstand and how good I am with E.
Bio I currently stick to nothing but solo top and I've found it's done wonders for my game. You learn to how fend for yourself, watch wards and ward properly, last hit properly, and the best of all you learn matchups. You can either counter pick or get counter pick and funny enough the best is when you get counter picked. Nothing forces you to play harder and smarter than something like
Picking Trynd and going up against Malphite
Picking Plank and fighting Pantheon
Picking Irelia and seeing Vlad
Plus, when you dominate top you can essentially remove one person from all mid game activities. It's a good feeling and the sense of accomplishment is always there. Mid lanes can just roam top and bottom and jungle gank. Bottom lane has team mates. Solo top is ganked early and often and you are all alone.
Plus at the elo you're at no one will counter pick you so you can just pick garen and stack doran blades and win most games.
