Most of the time, when people play a game of League, there is no real leader. They are usually a group of strangers. Sometimes they work well together and sometimes they don't.

However, for some people, certain roles give off leadership-like vibes. Most people seem to feel this way about mid lane. Personally, I always associate the Jungler as the most leader-like role. I think I feel this way because Junglers have the responsibility of helping each lane, and can ultimately decide when it is time to make major decisions, such as shoving a certain lane or taking dragon. Plus, Junglers, usually, have the most pressure placed on them.

Which role do you usually associate as the leader?

whoever seems like they actually know what they are doing. Higher elo's everyone kinda gets the jist of what to do but one person will usually know more and speak up. Lower elo's people try to because they think they know what they are doing. Most of the time everyone listens to the person that makes the most sense

In soloQ, it's usually whoever got fed. Otherwise it defaults to the jungler, as he's the one making the plays early and taking the objectives.

In organized play, it's actually the support.

I would usually set the leader as the most confident feeling person on my team. If none appeared I would try to step-up but of course it being a game filled with teens on summer break now I get nowhere with that since none of them like being asked to do things to help their team out.

Honesly I consider Mid laners or Supports the leader. Supports don't have to focus on cs'ing etc. so they can work out strategy's and they set up the wards.

Mid laners because they usually do the most dps and you want them to be apart of your fights.

Tanks or the supports.

Supports because they are ones keeping the team alive, through tactics (wards), and buffs.

Tanks because they lead the charge and force fights when they see an opening. So usually the top or jungler.
