Mid is important - probably most snowball early, but I don't get the chance to play it anymore..

My main mid are Cass, Brand, Ken, Anivia - and the only 2 out of that that ever get banned are Cass and Ken, so not really. I just choose not to play them since I should be mastering my solo top, jungle, and bot.

So far my favorite duo combo is mid/top. You get a really strong tanky DPS and a scary AP carry. Jungler/mid also works, but your jungler won't get as farmed as a good top laner.

Top lane is too far away from the action to have a lot of influence on the game early on. Mid lane is great since you can gank all lanes easy and allows you to snowball hard. Just make sure you take a champion who does snowball. Jungler: gank ALL lanes but when you can't gank or fall behind you're in trouble. Bot lane is hard because you are dependent on the other player in your lane.

Personally I just play mid and I've carried a lot of games with champs like Kassadin, Xerath and Viktor.

Top lane is too far away from the action to have a lot of influence on the game early on.

You could also say that top lane is very easy to snowball from. Since a fed bot lane will be completely out of the picture and basic warding can often thwart any gank attempts, it's pretty much just you and your lane opponent for the first half of the game. Most top laners will provide the necessary tankiness and damage threat to keep your partner safe during team fights, allowing you both to carry your team to victory (in theory).

The only problem with top lane (and jungle to some extent) is that the champions played there aren't meant to carry team fights. Even the most aggressive top laners are usually built to kill carries, disrupt enemies and/or take a lot of damage. It's the AP mid and AD carry that snowball the best and can really destroy teams. That's why I think your best chance of winning is to have a duo queue with one tanky melee and one ranged carry.

Soloqueue, I would agree that mid is probably your best bet, simply because AP carries typically have the strongest snowballs and are powerful pretty much all game. Melee top/jungle doesn't have the damage or ranged to carry fights from, AD bot is too vulnerable and is really only strong mid-late game and support can pretty much only help allies succeed, not carry a game single-handedly. As you mentioned, mid lane also has the best roam opportunities and is close to dragon and early team fights.

Mid/top is still my favorite combo because you can emerge into mid game with a farmed tank and a fed carry to team fight with.
