What the heck is my play style?!

First off, I'm not sure if this counts as a gameplay topic or a player behavior topic but I'll just go with my first option. Second; I'm asking based off of curiosity and improvement of my skills, this is in no way grounds for you to assault me for playing X champ in Y kind of meta or what have you.

**_ Now then with the disclaimer and trigger warning done let's get to the nitty-gritty. Over my "career" of laying League (since season 3 or whenever haunted Zyra came out) I've been playing a lot of champions that had differing playstyles yet the ones I main are totally separate from each other one would say polar opposites. I'd play a passive/sustained poke (i.e. Swain or Malzahar) champion one game, switch to a aggressive/bursty assassin/mage (i.e. Gangplank or Ahri) the next, then switch back to a sustained poke champion. I would call myself a meta slave but some of my picks are off meta. So what I'm wondering is can anyone help me figure out what my playstyle is.

Why does it matter what your play style is? Everyone plays differently, don't try to categorize it.

Play style is your approach to the game combined with the champ you select. Nobody has "a single" play style, it's more about how adaptive you can be during the game.

Think of it this way, if I have Jax jungle, you'd expect me to be ganking lanes at level 3. If I have a jinx/Leo bot and a Pantheon top I will be rotating my ganks between those two lanes and get them ahead. (Aggrerssive)

If my bot lane is a Cait/Nami and my top lane a Maokai, they tend to be more passive lanes I'll focus more on mid. Remember, I can't just gank them because Im jax and that's what I do, I have to let them farm and build. So I protect my lanes instead and counter jg for a bit track the enemy jg and counter their ganks. (defensive)

If my lanes are all in good shape I just counter jg and AFK farm for a while. (passive)
