I usually pick champs based on what I really want to be, unless I hate the champ of course, for instance I played Malphite for the first time because I wanted to be a tank that just smashes everything in sight, and while I lost to a fed shaco jungle, I did pretty well consider it was my first game with him, i went 5/5 while everyone else was 3/8 or 12/14. I took immense damage as well.

I came across my main this way as well, I just wanted to kill fast and survive, so I went across Ryze, and now usually I do 60-80% more damage then the rest of my team, if we lost however, which only happens when I'm countered like a rock, i will still do 50% of the damage their fed bot or mid did.
