A thought on defined roles for champions

[slayer-pantheon-popcorn] , hi Bones here and id like to drop a theory about why certain champions who are made for more than one lane seem to be getting stuck in "one lane" in season 3-4 for example, Teemo was not a top lane champion in fact playing him top was often (in my experience) a troll pick, now however as of s5-6 it seems to be a natural pick when a tank isn't needed. why you ask well my theory is that aside from the meta changing to favor a melee top over a ranged one, certain champions (Quinn and teemo for example) are better suited for solo lanes rather than duo lanes with their recent kit fixes. a good example of this would be both teemo and Quinn now have blinds (so to speak) and they both can deal damage very quickly if the opponent isn't careful, teemo over longer periods and Quinn in bursts. how does this affect gameplay so glad you asked, well in this case it causes the jungler to focus on one of two things, either shutting out the enemy top lane or, drive the other lanes further so the top advantage is lost to the other lanes. another good example is the addition of kindred and illaoi has cause the recent upset of %max health damage to blow out of control with the few champions its actually seen on becoming either early game monsters or late game gods with no real ability to stop or even slow them down unless your whole team commits to stopping them. now in my final thoughts id like to ask if anyone had any comments (yes this is my opinion no I don't want yours if they are mean, hateful, or otherwise rude. constructive yes but my rank previous game history or the fact that my match history doesn't great anymore have nothing to do with this thread so leave em out. and also id love to hear what others think about champions that might be alittle on the weird side when they are fought in an atypical lane EX: maokai mid, or jinx support to name a few thanks and keep on keepin on [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]
