Making phase: Stand behind your minions. If no minions stand behind your support. Draw an invisible straight line between you and the enemy champions. Keep something between you and them at all times. The following champions are exceptions of this rule:

Team fighting phase: Ideally your team should line up like so:
ADC + Mage >> Support + Assassin >> Tanks + Bruisers
Backline >> Midline >> Frontline
Backliners deal damage from safety. They should avoid close range fighting at all times. Backliners are the primary wave clearers and turret siegers. They should attempt to poke the enemy front liners to wear them down. They should always be aware of enemy threats and buffer themselves from threats via teammates, towers, walls, etc.
Midliners consist of supports and assassins, but they are here for different reasons. Assassins skirt around the outside of the fight and look for an opening in order to nuke the enemy backline then get out before they can be retaliated upon. Supports are here to protect the back line and peel when necessary. They can also lend a hand in initiating fights but defending their backline takes priority over this.
Frontliners attempt to disrupt and separate the enemy formation in team fights. They want to take the brunt of the enemy 's damage. They purposely take aggro so that their fragile teammates have an opening to focus down the enemy carries. When taking objectives such as dragon, baron or turrets they attempt to take the aggro from these sources while everyone else focuses them down. They also take over peeling duties when the support rotates into the front line.
