Every champion has one main role and only one. They CAN be played anywhere and can be effective in multiple roles, but each champ has one role. A lot of people don't get this from some reason.

Commonly mistaken champs:

Teemo Top lane Annoying as hell anywhere. Not good, annoying. Can do well as adc to if built with AD, obviously. Bad mid laner imo.

Ryze &Vladimir Also top. Both very good choices top after the Ryze buff. Can do well in mid lane, Ryze more so than Vlad imo.

Amumu Jungle Not mid. Don't play him mid, you'll get shit on.

Alistar Support Can be okay top I guess, but he has a ton of CC and is perfect for setting up kills and can push enemies away. Heals himself and allies

Yasuo Mid lane Not the worst choice top but there is bound to be a better choice either that you own or is free. Strong mid cuz of annoying knock up, high damage skill shots and burst potential. Pretty hard to play at first tho.

Chogath Top lane Can also do well in mid but he is better top because he does a lot of melee damage too and it isn't very bursty, except for his ult. Oh, and his ult stacks a ton of health which can make him very tanky without spending gold on health. Great synergy with Zhoyna's Hourglass item.

Fizz Mid lane Most play him mid, so not too much of a mistaken champ. Some play him top, which can be extremely effective against a slower melee top, but will get railed by others, like Vlad or Aatrox if his passive is up, so if using bling pick, play him mid. If you're doing a draft, see who your opponent will be and then maybe play Fizz top if you're sure you have a good match up.

Comments? Questions? I realize this wont be the most relevant for higher ELOs so sorry :/ Also this is my smurf :D

Cho'gath is good mid for countering assassins (they tend to have issues bursting him and he has good enough sustain to keep himself out of kill danger and silence op)

Teemo is in my opinion better as a jungler tbh than top. A lot of top champions have little issue getting onto him/locking him down with a jungle gank. In the jungle though he can setup good map control as a counter jungler. And lane ganking with passive is actually really good early.

Teemo is awesome mid against some champions. Scattering shrooms all over mid gets teams to rage quit since they all have to pass through mid at some point.
