Building off of what [MENTION=8038]Nion[/MENTION]; said:
Top lane champions tend to be tanky/pure tank, but have decent damage.
Mid lane champions tend to be bursty champions. You finish your combo, and stay out of harm's way until your cooldowns reset. (For the most part)
Bot lane is comprised of supports and typically AD carries. AD Carries are the ones you should focus in teamfights, because they're the definition of glass cannon. Let one run amok on your team, and you'll be melted. A support's job is to, literally, support the carry as Nion said. They typically have some sort of shield or heal to accomplish this, as well as some CC (crowd control, and effect that can disrupt a player i.e. slows, stuns, taunts, etc.)
Junglers also tend to be on the tankier side, and are like top lane champions, which is why some top lane champions can also jungle, and vice-versa. Good junglers tend to have an AoE skill to clear out the jungle more quickly.
One of the major things you want to learn is to adapt to the situation. If you are said AD Carry, and the enemy is building armor, what should you do? Get armor penetration items. If you are a tank, and the whole enemy team is AP, what should you do? Build MR (Magic Resist.) Sticking with a set build is good for a while, but when you get higher up there, it's good to know your choices.
I feel like I've restated a lot of things other people said, but I'll toss in one more restatement. ALWAYS check out the free champion rotations each week. You might find something fun that surprises you. Feel free to add me and hit me up ingame if you wanna play. Scwult is the name.
