There's no such thing as playing safe champions anymore.
Want top to play a safe top laner like a tank? Nope too bad, you won't get turret plates and enemy jungler will gank you as soon as you push and make you irrelevant after 1 gank. And of course there is conqueror that ruins any safe playstyles.
Want to play a safe jungler that focuses on farming? Nope, xp from monsters is terrible and 1 invade from the enemy makes you useless. Plus actually be in the jungle when you can just camp top/bot lane all the time to get your xp from them?
Want to play a safe mid laner like a poke mage such as Xerath or Ziggs? Nope, your damage is pathetic compared to everyone else who happens to be either burst mage or assassins constantly one shotting you. Plus if you sit at your turret to avoid dying, the enemy will just roam and get their kills from other lanes. There's no such thing as slowly poking your enemy down because that takes too long meanwhile your opponent can delete you in a split second as soon as they get close to you or land one spell.
Want to play a safe ADC? Nope, the enemy agressive ADC will always outscale you because the overloaded ADCs can be lane bullies and hypercarries at the same time. Plus, the smallest mistake equals one death and one death early game defines the game. Supports can't peel for you damage is way to high, they might as well just use as much cc as they can before they die and you might as well do as much damage as you can before you die.
Want to play a safe support? Nope, despite you using all your abilites to stop the enemy from dashing onto your ADC, the enemy still has 3 more dashes and if you don't shield your teammate in the 0.3 second time frame an assassin is on them, they die instantly. Plus, there aggressive supports in bot lane are far more important than the peel supports because as soon as you or your partner get cc'd you die. And of course now there is shield breaking on champions like Blitzcrank and Renekton! Thank you so much Riot for adding that into the game, they really needed less counterplay.
