What you should focus on is your Tempo.

A: Because it will not get you anywhere as for now. In order to proceed to plat+, understanding the core concept of the game-pace is essential. Specific tricks can ver yuseful later on, but a bombardment of tricks have never brought anyone a league higher. They require a lot of time to figure out individually, just to generate small impact on the outcome of the game. If you don't understand how to turn your gold into a win, then being able to get 10% more through counterganks, roams etc. won't get you anywhere further.

Consider, your own gold is (for you) an objective in itself. The goal is to get the most out of the time you spend during the game, no exceptions. If there is something on the map, that can increase the chance of winning, go for it, if it is the best option.
