I usually play tanks in the top lane and I have started my placement matches and I was just wondering if my champion pool is good for my first season placement.
The four I would consider to be my champion pool would be:
.Poppy
.Cho'gath
.Malphite
.Nautilus
PS. Ive been playing the game since February of this year. Any suggested changes or additions are welcome

Those are all pretty reliable tanks, so I think you're fine with where you're at. However, I'd recommend you pick up at least one carry top laner that you can play if your team already has a good number of tanks and you're the last pick, for example.
Dienvy1 votesWould something like Darius
or Tryndamere
be okay?
Spartan Sol1 votesid suggest picking up galio and darius
Dienvy1 votesOkay man I'll give it some thought :P
Darkone70011 votesDon't get galio top lane, your shooting yourself in the foot.
Spartan Sol1 votesDon't get galio top lane, your shooting yourself in the foot.
so one of the tankiest champs.. crazy engage.. almost global presence along with high damage is shooting yourself in the foot lol?
Darkone70011 votesTaking him into top lane is yes, you said it yourself crazy engage and globe ult, why would I take him top where I can only react to mid lane when I can go mid lane and react to both bot and top lane?? also, all of galios hardest counters go to top lane, all the champions he counters go to mid lane, so why would you take him top, when you can do 10 times better mid? I have yet to see a galio go top that did well, however as a galio main myself I can dominate early and mid game with infinite ult roams and be a teamfighting monster late game, think about it he scales with Magic resist, and people stack armor on him, what makes galio tanky is his shield of duran damage reducation which scales with magic resist. I see people take galio top lane and start stacking armor and just do terrible. If you take galio mid lane you have the option to quickly roam to top and mid, ON TOP OF THAT, you get all the champions you counter in one lane, mid, so why do people bring galio top? that is shooting yourself in the foot I'm not saying he can't do well top, I'm just saying you will be so much better to go mid and more importantly you will be a load more useful to your team at all stages of the game.
WitchQueen Annie1 votesThe only champ you really need in Top Lane for low elo is 
. He does everything you want in the lane.
He can win 1 vs 1, can outplay opponents by abusing trades if you have better game knowledge/mechanics. Most match ups are either in his favour or ones he can survive. If he has to play safely he has to tools to do so too. HIs on demand stun and dash allows him to follow up on Ganks PERFECTLY.
If your team is winning, he can close out the game just fine.
If your team is losing, he might still be able to turn it around by damage tanking.
In all events he has a high chance of winning and snowballing the lane.
The problem with playing true Tanks is that you rely heavily on your team and in most games, you won't be stomping your lane (your kit just doesn't enable it easily). So you lose a percentage of games where you COULD have turned them around by stomping lane... meanwhile in the games where your team was even or ahead and you ended up winning, you could probably have done so with a Renekton anyways.
AccountaBilabudy1 votesJust play and never leave top lane. Doesn't matter if you start 0-4. Once you get 3 items no one can stop you. Get inhib, then go to bot lane and repeat.
Darkone70011 votesKled, if you have the attitude for him he will carry games so hard at low elo, I don't play much ranked though so Idk if this helps, his ult just allows for some great teamfights. Darius would be a good pick to but be warned he is banned ALOT, if you do get kled make sure you all in at a low level so you can snowball your lane and start roaming. 
III BAKURYU III 1 votesI'd be careful with just tanks in League these days, with every champion having some % hp dmg the tanker you get the more dmg your enemies will do, so take that with a grain of salt. League is also getting shorter and shorter with 1 sided stumps so farming up for 1-2 tank items to do what you intend(tank) you could very well be digging yourself in a hole.
Honestly a powerful pick can be flexed also. Sustain with W without needing to auto attack or life steal anything, just walk around spamming W, slow and powerful Q and a reliable engage E with a fantastic ult to boot. The ult needs some practice but overall a solid pick. -( Will most likely get nerfed here soon )
Why tank when you can just sit back like a ADC and just do dmg constantly at top vs melee enemies. Can be flexed more so than Gragas, "kinda even" -( Will most likely get nerfed also tho )
So underrated in my opinion. His sustain is crazy good and his ability to steal his opponents' resources is something people seem to forget when they see a low HP Trundle whenever they 1v1 him. His ult is pretty much an ignite+ death fire touch - it melts people tick by tick.
Can't go wrong with other champions tho, I will say these are bait champions, meaning you pick them at your own safety and a possible L incoming depending on the situation.
A strong laner, tanks does % hp dmg(I talked about it earlier) but his ult is kinda bad in my opinion, not to mention in League these days with as many stuns, slows, perma stuns, taunts, fears etc 1 click and your ult is gone. You're also letting your team think they can troll and act stupid because you're Shen so you're pretty much going to be on babysitting duty the whole game.
Jax is great at 1v1 and a decent teamfighter but his main strength is split-pushing and depending on elo it's something people don't understand in certain elo's. In B-S people expect a 5v5 aram from min 30-end and it's kinda useless for Jax. Unless the enemy team are baboons and you flash Q-E for a decent stun/s he's just a sitting duck and not using his ability to it's maximum that it could be. So if your team gets beat or 1 person dies expect ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? the rest of the game.
