well i was katarina and ppl r like u should be mid not bot but i didnt like it and well my score wasnt that good (1-0-2) but pretty good for first timer but i wondering is it true i do better if i played mid? and why is it becuz of any secret buffs or wat? and my teaamtes makea big fuzz over it
The short answer is: Maybe.
You're new to the game, so chances are that you aren't that good (no offense). LoL is a deceptively simple game on the surface, but the strategy is deep and complex. I know because I didn't get that for almost 2 years and just whined and moaned about not being able to beat certain champions.
Katarina is a great example, because she can absolutely destroy an entire team in the right conditions, but she's completely useless against some teams. It's more about who you're playing against rather than which lane you're in.
I try very hard to communicate in the lobby with my team. I'm certain that this one change I made has led to my recent performance improvement. The key thing I'm concerned with is the composition of our team. Very often someone will say, "Counters don't matter for X reason." This is statistically ridiculous, and I've lost count of how many times those people get their faces smashed in by the counters that "didn't matter".
So, instead of worrying about where you're playing Katarina, you need to worry about whether or not she's right for the team. If you played in bottom lane, chances are you took the spot from a Support champion. Katarina's abilities are not at all designed to be a support. She generally gets a lot of kills, but would starve the ADC in doing so (I've actually had a Katarina support and she took all the kills).
So, in the end, you may have been fine if you had played mid, and led your team to victory. Or you might have been countered and destroyed, hopelessly feeding the enemy team and getting behind.
TLDR: Learn when to play champions, not where to play them.
It is good to play champions in their recommended lanes because they can effectively handle the champions of those lanes (or better so than others). That being said if you know how to play a champion well they can provide a counter to some traditional picks for certain lanes, Vayne's ability to shred tanks comes to mind. Also if you enjoy it and your team doesn't mind (which in this case it seemed they did) there is nothing wrong with breaking the meta, just be sure to know that not every non-meta choice is an effective one.
Actually as Faker's fan, my answer is : Not at all
Faker actually has played Riven in mid, even though Riven is a top champion. But mid Riven seemed to work well in his games. But obviously, some champions aren't suited to certain positions
I watched a Heimer jungle game the other day. Please don't confuse possible with optimal. You could play a champion in any role really, but is it the best decision? These are answers you will be able to formulate once you have many more games under your belt. There are many things I still do not know/understand. I'm about 1500 games total into my LoL career.
The great thing about the generally accepted current meta is that it gives even new players some base to start forming their own opinions about the game and general strategy. Breaking the meta doesn't mean you are doing something bad - or clever in most case. Sometimes breaking the meta can help reveal general flaws with the state of the game.
There are most definitely concrete "correct" decisions in this game. There are essential fundamentals that professional players and diamond players have mastered. They can pick any champion and beat you and me. Picking the best champion for your situation is what got them where they are though.
It is ok if you understand the gameplay of your champion against different kind of champions. Per example, playing lulu top versus a riven is a very good idea because she has a very good poke against riven and you can use your transform to escape riven. Any champion can technically play any lanes, just have to find the right strategy against your enemy and the right gear to adopt
This is something that is debated about all throughout the elo ranges. While I agree that the short answer is "maybe", I feel a better answer is: If you know your champion well, and you know your role well, then you can make practically anything work.
There are youtube videos out there that will take a champion and put them somewhere that the meta does not approve of (for example, they take a support champion such as taric, and take him top).
In some cases, this switch can be deceptively amazing. For example, sona, who is traditionally a support is a wonderful mid lane champion because not only does she put out good sources of poke, but she can heal herself in lane, making her very hard to force out of lane.
You will encounter people that will be very angry if you decide to break the meta. To those players, I say ignore them entirely and go with what you are confident with.
That's not to say that the meta isn't somewhat right either. There are champions that are better specialized for their role than other champions. For example, you could take a champion that would have a horrible kit against a tank, and completely lose. There are reasons why roles are recommended for champions, rather than champions being able to go wherever they want. However, that's not to say you should always follow them.
In short, people's opinions about these champions being forced to go into a certain role based on their kit can be summed up with this movie moment:
