I usually play and pick support, but the last mouths I play top, jungler and mid, and I can see I need to focus a playstyle for get my future champ, there's the list I usually got for buy any champ (most likely supp but apply to any champ for me):

1.- I need babysity or can survive alone in lane or jungle the first 6 lvls

the point here is you can't survive alone, them you need to focus in champions with high sustain without money early game, most support only need mana regen to have them healing skill able most the time, other like leona, need a little of armor and magic resist to survive and get kill/assist early game, and a few of champ, like galio, lee sin and rammus, can tranform other stats to ofessive/defensive, so they have both durability and harass early

2.- how much I can support my teammates

most of champion have and skill to assist the kill without deal dagame (most assassin champ haven't it so no read it if you want play lb, kat, zed, talon, etc...). I try to have champ like sona, taric and janna, how can help anyone even without use any skill (passive and auras) and, a good ultimate, heal or shield can traform all the teamfight

3.- how much CC or Poke I have

this is for champ like nautilius, teemo, leona or thersh, those dont have so much abilities to directly help, but the enemy team need to think about you before to kill your mage or marksman, also the damage than you deal usually is enoght for you carry can kill them easily (note than you can ks all the time than you want, but remeber that there are a lot of players that will report you even if they couldn't finish them, also a few of passives need a champion kill to trigger,  so leave to them if they really need that buff)

4.- My playstyle is mine

the most important point here, have no sense to take a champion like master yi or darius, if you dont like to get bored the rest of the game cause you can easily get a quadra-penta kill eachtime you see them and after the match everyone say you are broken

Also, is pointless to take champion like fizz, lb or lux, if you can't or hate to press QWER123 (items actives) in under a sec, or you like delay your skills to be sure you don't missed the key skill or aren't killing a clone (wu kong, shaco, lb)

I recommend you champion how can play 2 or even 3 roles, as you can see what you want, but without overload, dont try to play both support/mage with kayle, or support/jungler shen, the items may be the same, but the focus or your role is diferent (support and tank usually watch the heath bar of the team, and the carries see the enemy bar instead). also even try to jungler with every champion than you know to play

Sorry for grammar, I need to improve my english, hope it help orc, see you :P
