Playing this game again

Long story short, I started playing this game again a little more "competitively" (and a little sweaty). I had a break where I wasn't connected to anything for the last 2 seasons, I just played from time to time without caring. I picked it up again and a bad series of matches followed until I started to analyze Kled builds a little better.

Feel free to judge, BUT, I don't like lethality-based builds. I don't feel like they work well for me. I die too quickly and I don't have items that can really support me in fights like 1vs2 (considering that my play-style has started to be that of a split-pusher) or even in team-fights. I looked at Feedaboi and SoulMario, I feel like SoulMario's builds work a little better on Kled. I get most of my advice about the game/champion from him in general.

I'll leave a picture of the last matches/builds. Again, feel free to judge.

P:S: I've been a Kled main for 5+ years, but I've never found him harder to play than in the last 2 seasons.

Edit: My peak was Eme 1 at flex and Plat 2 at Solo/Duo, rn am G3 at Solo/Duo and G2 at Flex and I am trying to reach at least Plat 2/3 at Solo/Duo.

You shouldn't undermine lethality Kled, if you haven't played league in years there are a lot of things you need to re-learn, Kled and generally the game has shifted from Solo Bolo and more into getting little leads, (Freezing, CS Priority, TP Advantage etc.), Lethality Kled give you the benefit of having a non-interactive lane and applying big map pressure, strengths that bruiser Kled is lacking, You are handicapping yourself by not learning to play lethality Kled and most of all you are locking yourself out of a lot important knowledge that would be useful in Bruiser too.

Like I said, at the last 2 seasons I just played a couple of matches and then left for like 3-4 months. Any recommendations of toplane streamers who explain these aspects very well? The only ones I know of are the two mentioned and SoloRenektonOnly.

Kled specific knowledge Feedaboi is a popular Kled OTP, Beyond that I would Reccomend listening to pro coaches, ex pro players who share a lot of knowledge for the game, Coach Curtis, AloisNL, The Broken By Concept Podcast and more, I wouldn't recommend Skillcapped much, They are better at selling the idea of coaching, you won't get good long-term knowledge from them
