Look, Conscriptconspire and Ozuar are both right, but you cannot just look at a situation and say "this champ will make me better", but sometimes you have to look around and think "The champ I'm playing is not the most effective, perhaps I should try another." I have a total of 2 champs I'm comfortable playing and both of them happen to be AP mid, and I consider myself good at playing them. However, they aren't that effective at carrying a team, but if I wanted to carry a team I would want to become proficient at playing a champion who can.

Both champion AND skill are important. Don't ask the community for champion choice because they don't know your playstyle and I find that individual playstyle habits are impossible to describe. They can help out by advising you on techniques and practices to start using in games but they can't say "You will be good at this champion who fits your needs" because they don't know how you play. Test out the champs on rota each week and maybe you'll find one that you are extremely good at playing, and maybe that will be a champ that can carry the team.

However I have to say I've tested Vayne and she's a damn good carry if you can play her, which can at times be a bit tricky. Not my cup of tea, but very potentially effective.
