Like for example:
mid instead of top.
top instead of mid
bot instead of midMeta-breakers aside, but I'd always imagine how much would they have sucked if they bring those champions to their MAIN intended lane.
.....especially those bringing 
top instead of ADC bot.
Im juz saying :p
Catastrop1 votesQuinn is a well and established top laner though. On another note, Riven mid? These people are practically counter picking themselves.

Tell that to Faker

You haven't been paying attention to solo queue then :P
While we might not agree on it always, pro play defines solo queue quite a bit lol and he is one of the most well know LoL players. I've seen my fair share of players say "Faker did it".
IcyPepper1 votesTrue :3
I mean it more like pro players are on a whole new level. Faker doing Riven mid doesn't mean we should do Riven mid :3
Unless that Riven mid has a purpose, I mean who the hell knows do what's best for the situation? I know people occasionally take fighters/bruisers midlane to shut down assassins, so it's not out of the question.
ValyrianBlade2 votesMost times I see a Riven go mid, it's an explicit counterpick.
e.g. Riven absolutely facerolls Kassadin. Riven does have a few other particularly strong match-ups mid as well (mainly the melee mid laners, as Riven can kill them in lane pretty easily at levels 2-5).
Same goes for the other Top lane bullies that go mid. They're counter-picking specific mid laners.
Vayne does well top right now because she's just strong in general, has good mobility and kiting, and is a solid counter-pick to the seemingly omnipresent juggernauts top lane. I'd imagine Quinn does the same but just isn't as naturally strong.
I hate the Yasuo top pick in general, and have never seen Ekko bot (although I'm not a fan of Ekko Jungle either). For the most part, those two just have much better options who do effectively the same thing in that lane. Yasuo works mid because he makes good use of his Wind Wall against most mid laners - it isn't very effective top. There are other assassins who are stronger junglers than Ekko (and definitely much better damage-oriented supports).
disregardable1 votesVayne does well top right now because she's just strong in general . . . I'd imagine Quinn does the same but just isn't as naturally strong.
Nope. Quinn does well because she's strong in general and has good mobility and kiting. Vayne, on the other hand, is only a top laner as a counterpick.
Quinn will do much better against top lane assassins like 
and "Assassiny bruisers" like 
. Quinn's blind, knockback, harrier combo give her a really strong avoid and harass pattern.
Whereas Vayne would need to use her ultimate and be lucky to get out when jumped on. Obviously a good Vayne can outplay, but that's exactly what it'd be. An outplay rather than a counter. That doesn't make Vayne less good against tankier, "sit on you" champions, it just means she's not really a top laner in the same vein as Quinn is.

kagepaladin1 votesI had a lissandra top. not fun
Catastrop1 votesThis is one of favourite top laners. 
Try and get close, I dare you to any melee toplaner.
BeatzBoyFTW1 votesAnd this is why Lissandra deserve to never receive another buff again.
kagepaladin1 votesthe lissandra was on my team, her kda was 0/7/8....
IcyPepper1 votesEkko is more of a jungler than a midlaner. He's not even all that amazing mid, especially since he can't free-aim his ult and it needs set-up. He may be intended for mid, but he has a better kit for jungling if you ask me. Bot is just crazy.
Yasuo top isn't nearly as popular as mid, but it seems decent. Yasuo is a fighter, not a pure assassin, so I'm just saying :V Nothing wrong with having two meta roles instead of one (looking at you, Annie/Nautilus/Brand).
Gonna agree with you on Riven mid, though.
Keep in mind that two of those champions can excel in at least two+ roles, not one. I know what you're trying to say, but there's better examples.
T RexHasTinyArms1 votesI dunno, many of the people I've seen take a champ to a lane that isn't where most people take them play a heavy % of their games on that champ. For instance I played mostly 
to gold this season (and played him like 30 games on a second account when I was really tryharding to rank it up) and he is generally considered a mid lane champ but I played a whole lot of top. I have like a 60 something % win rate over around 190 games so I usually did decent top, but mid is often much easier bc you can control dragon so simply and rotate to take towers easier as well.
A lot of the time I would bet that people taking champs to lanes you don't expect would do just as well if not far better in the lane you expect that champ to be in.
