I don't know for how long you were playing this game but near the end of Season 1, people used to send either AP carry or AD carry, the only thing that we looked back then is that champion must have some kind of ranged attack. So champions like Caitlyn, Kog Maw, Galio, Tristana (AD and AP wise) were very common on mid lane.

Also the usual setup was that in top and bot lane you should have 1 champion that deals magic damage and one champion that deals physical damage and one of those two must have some ranged attack. So it would usually be someone like Ashe on top and with her someone very tanky, then we would put either AP carry (Le Blanc or Annie) or AD carry on mid and in bot lane there would be someone like Xin Zhao, Sion or Tryndamere along with a mage.

It varried many times but the rule applied, you must have 1 magic, 1 physical in lane and one of them must be ranged. On mid lane there must be always a ranged one.

Then people started to take META game for serious and our old way of playing simply faded.
