no one ever cared to explain me why.. :<
the only useful thing I know is that AP champions are mostly used in the mid lane (usually apc(I think))
don't even know if I am right lol
ps.: please don't kill me.
Don't worry, this is hate free zone. Except for some guy with a duck avatar. You can hate that guy.
The way things are now, the almost exclusive team composition consists of a bruiser, an ap carry, an ad carry, a support, and second bruiser/tank. Each of these roles has a lane that they are usually assigned to.
The bruiser goes top. They are strong fighters who can soak up some damage, while dishing out their own. They are usually melee, but not exclusively.
The ap carry goes mid. There a lot of different types of ap carries, so it is hard to generalize them. They scale off of ability power rather than attack damage, and are great at bursting squishy champions down.
The ad carry goes bot. The adc is ranged, and deals physical damage. They build lots of damage, and are easily killed. Nothing much to say about them.
The support goes bot as well. He is meant to assist the adc in any way he or she can. They buy wards so it is a safer environment. They buff the adc in some way, whether that be with a heal, or an attack speed boost, or even making the enemies easier to kill. They do not kill any minions, as it takes gold from the adc, and instead build items that passively give extra gold over time. They also buy items to help the team instead of just themselves.
The last spot is jungle. With the changes made to the jungle, nearly anyone can. It is clear that some are far superior to others though. Typically the best junglers are bruisers and tanks. The jungler needs to have some form of crowd control to gank lanes.
Basically just know those 5 spots in the meta, and think about if your champion in question would fit there well.
