But that is the difference between a troll pick, and an intelligent unconventional pick, you have to think about the composition of both teams, how you fit into yours, and how you are supposed to the other team, for example I would never try to play Teemo and fight say, Galio in mid lane, because my poison would let him heal with his shield actually helping his regen, on top of the fact that he will be building a large amount of MR to take advantage of his passive, Instead I would pick someone like Tristana, or Caitlyn, he would have to sacrifice damage from not building MR to instead build armor, since he is a melee champion I could harass him for free all game, and in the event of his ult I would be far enough back due to the range of late game Trist, or Caitlyn's range that even if he ults me it won't pull me incredibly far out of position.

Now that is just an example, and while it only focuses on countering the enemy team, you could have your team send an AP character bot lane with a support instead, something like Lux as the APC with a Leona/Thresh/Nautilus as a tanky support with high amounts of CC would allow you to land your skills very easily, as well as keep a lot of pressure on bot lane, while the Caitlyn is busy harrassing Galio out of lane, which means your jungler is free to camp top lane to ensure your top lane wins, while the enemy jungler is distracted as bot and mid get stomped due in part to your adaptability and strange lane compositions.

Obviously in most games it won't go over so flawlessly, but assuming you keep map control the enemy team will be unable to stop you without changing their tactics, you just have to stay one step ahead, or several if possible.
