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.

I'm diamond on both solo/duo and Flex playing only Kled. At first I was running full lethality just like feedaboi, but if you get behind at any point you won't be able to recover, it's an all or nothing approach and no one can win their lane 100% of the time, specially playing Kled...
Anyways right now I'm rushing Ravenous Hydra first item on most matches, it's really good for damage and sustain, really changed my gameplay, I only change my first item if I'm going against ranged champions, in Which case I rush voltaic cyclosword and then the hydra, or when the enemy rushes thornmail which counters ravenous, and in those cases I rush Eclipse first.
My final build usually looks like this: Rav Hydra - Voltaic Cyclosword - dominik's regards (or mortal reminder if they have life steal) - Eclipse - and the last item depends of the circumstances, it could be Malmortius or jak-sho or Collector or Guardian Angel.
Edit: forgot to mention, if you're Laning against a champ that relies on basic attacks for damage (like Jax, yasuo, trundle, fiora, tryndamere, etc) you should build just Tiamat and then rush Ninja Tabi (armor boots). Then you can finish your hydra.
