Currently, what is the ranking of importance of lane?
As in how much influence does X lane have on the game. What would be your rankings?

Jungler > Botlane > midlane > toplane Jungle is first because in this meta, if you have priority and can gank even once, the first team to do so (preferably on botlane) snowballs so hard the game spirals into a clown fiesta. Botlane snowballs harder (due to duo lane and dragons mostly) midlane second, and toplane is ... well not in the best state right now...
Jungle 35% Middle 30% Support 20% Adc 10% Top 5%
mid>jungle>support>adc>top
Reasoning: Midlane can roam like a jungler but has higher level, so basically a second jungler that is stronger, also a smart midlaner will win the jungle matchup first and create a huge snowball.
Jungle it's only second since junglers can't have equal level to mid anymore, lost a bit of impact to exp changes but still top tier role. Jungle/mid is probably the strongest duo.
Supports are stronger than adcs early game, so they influence bot heavily, they can also roam the map and help mid and jungle, they have the best warding capabilities of all the roles, and vision is kind important i guess. Some supports can also hard carry teamfights.
Anyone who thinks adcs are above spot 4 is trolling, they have the weakest early game, so they basically relly on their team to carry their asses for the first 20-30 minutes, they can hardly even win lane without mid/jungle intervetion. If an adc gets fed it's either because mid/jungle/support or the enemy is hard inting.
Toplane omegalul. That role is so good that people started going soraka just to support the other 4 roles. Don't play top unless you go soraka or like a good ol coinflip.
Also I am gold, so you shouldn't probably take advice from me.

Most impactful lane ranked by pro´s posted 17 days ago.
Top: 1.2% Jungle: 40.7% Mid: 43% Bot: 4.7% Support: 10.5%
The least impactful :
Top: 60.5% Jungle: 2.3% Mid: 0% Bot: 31.4% Support: 5%
Personally? I had the exact same idea as above, i have never bought into any of the BS that jungle was "entirely useless" since the EXP changes,....punishing to fail on yeah but never even close to useless unless a horrendous fuckup was committed.
Midlane? Always been good and being located in the center roaming potential is plentiful which makes impacting the game easy.
Supports? Supports are the ones who decide how that lane goes far far more than the marksmen just because of how weak said marksmen are early ......helps that some large impact ones like Bard, Leo/bliz/thresh/nautilus /Taric also exist in the position.
ADC? Literally completely at the mercy of both their own supports and the enemy one, if the enemy one is stronger then they rule the lane and even if the marksman comes out of lane all clean and even slightly fed they still get their heads smashed into the mud&shit by enemy midlaner if that one is even remotely strong.
Just look at the game between OG and G2 if you do not believe me on that.
Toplane? Far too much at the mercy of the junglers and the only champion class here designed to be good in teamfights gets destroyed in lane by another that.....sucks in teamfights.
So Soraka is a better option but not because she is a good toplaner as much as she is a extremely powerful support with items.

The only issue with the above survey was that it took place in NA so it might be somewhat off but on the other hand they did vote EU as the better region so i do not believe they are all that mistaken.
