I totally agree with this.

However, you forgot to mention that you are not forced to play an AP on mid. Think outside the box. I often see some Talon/Kha'Zix/LeeSin and such heroes on mid. Why is that? Because they have some burst, like their opponent AP, but instead of being unable to do any damage while on cooldown, they'll still rape you with autoattack.

Same goes for ADC mid. Sometimes I see Caitlyn going for mid, and freefarming (traps on the lane -> half the lane is yours), sometimes killing when a good gank happens. Urgot is insane mid.

Also, tanky champs can sometimes do the job. Galio, Chogath, Swain, etc.

Don't forget Ryze, decent burst, great dps, and can still outdps some champs while building tanky. Vlad has an insane sustain, Viktor has a good range, insane burst level 6, a shield, a slow/stun (great to kill in combination with another control or escape a gank), Syndra has an incredibly powerful ultimate, etc.

AP tristana is funny tho, with her 150% AP ratio on ulti, 80% on jump and 100% on the dot, she can instantly kill any other mid when level 6.

Sion Ap. Lolz big time.

Diana tanks and burst hardcore. Brand has some good range and insane burst too.

All that matters is how you play your heroes. There are rare cases where you can't beat the facing hero, but it usually depends on your skill more than on the heroes themselves.
