It... really depends.

I have 3 main champions for my main role (Jungle), while having 1-2 for all other roles:

Jungle:


 * (Physical damage, mobile, armor shred, max % health damage, disruption)


 * (Magic damage, tanky, sustained, bodyguard (to keep my teammates safe and alive), decent mobility)


 * (Mixed damage, tanky, bodyguard, sustained)


 * A whole lot of other ones that I'm good at. Although these 3 are usually my priority picks. Notable members include, and.

All of them are champs that are flexible, don't have restrained build paths and are usually initators and bodyguards. I used to main for ages, but since he became popular again and somewhat meh in the current meta, I've stopped playing him.

Top:

Really depends. I'm a decent top laner (as in I win my lane most of the time), so it's up to what the enemy picks.


 * (Physical damage, insane mobility, global presence w/ R + Teleport, wave clear, heavy (but situational) sustain)


 * Anyone, really...

Mid:

Poke mages. Mobile-ish mages. I never play an AD mid laner for some reason.


 * (Everything about him; I have mechanical mastery over him, but I piss off the enemy team and I usually get turned into KFC...)


 * (Magic damage, mobile, high duelist potential, kiting, sustain, kawaii anime-like foxgirl)

Marksman/ADC:

My worst role. I have so few champs for this role (6?), albeit I just can't play it since it revolves around who picks the better marksman, etc.


 * (Physical damage, mobile, spell shield, best wave clear out of all marks(wo)men, dat Snowstorm Skin doe)

Support:

I like supporting. It's a really fun role to play when you have decent teammates and most of the supports are fun as heck (except, they're no fun to play against and as)


 * (Magic damage, insane poke once Sheen/Lichbane is bought, 3 basic abilites are all for different uses, auras, really good for 2v2s, can build anything (Lichbane, Sightstone mandatory), the best 20 euros I've spent in my life :^) )


 * - I used to play him and I'm skilled w/ him (to some extent). Now I'm trying to shove him out of my top 7 most played champs since... eh. I just got bad luck with him.

That's about it. I basically pick champions that I'm comfortable with and I have a medium-high skill cap on them. I'd rather pick than  since I'm much more familiar with the blob's kit than boar-lady's set of abilites.
