there ARE differences in the lanes, and choosing the correct lane for whatever champion you're playing DOES make a difference. If you go top or bot with a typically mid-lane champion, you're going to miss out on ALL the farm and wraiths that you need to build correctly. You're also going to have to go a lot farther to get a blue buff if you go bot with a caster, and that's going to hinder your ability to cast and basically just render you useless. If you go mid with a character that is typically a bot support, you will be obliterated by ganks (you're not meant to tank) and you aren't going to have the damage required for farm or wraiths, AND you're leaving the champions who are typically carries with no support and thus, they'll never be able to reach their potential because they're not going to have the survivability that a support gives them. The way the map is set up, you can capitalize on the boosts and creeps and ganks by laning correctly.
