Agreed. You've also got to be aware of champions that are not played often. The "Old Trundle" syndrome, if you will, where you pick a champ that is so rarely played that people don't know what they do and lose because of that. I main Viktor and the number of times I've won my lane and often the game (I'm gold/plat) because my opponent underestimated what I could do, is actually quite silly. Obviously this isn't as important in professional games, but underestimated and underplayed champions can be a real boon to a team in lower league play. Swain top, Quinn adc, Zac anywhere (especially if you get a Yasuo on your team), etc etc.
