Zed, Lucian, Fiddlesticks, Fiora, Katarina, Yasuo, Jinx, Riven, Tristana, Zac, Ezreal, Jax, Wukong, Lulu, Tryndamere, Twitch, Mordekaiser, Vayne, Kha'Zix
What a waste of time.

Anyway, can anyone help me on the strategic decision making stuff in League? Basically like when to gank, roam, teamfight, baron, dragon, take a tower, rotate, group, switch lanes, etc. I can learn mechanics and stuff through YouTube videos, but I find it hard to learn more about the desicion making. Also, when do I need Scaling vs Flat runes?
At its simplest:
1. Gank when the enemy is overextended.  Or, when you can get a kill or forced back.
2. Roam when your lane is pushed and you're not ahead enough to dive but it's too early for you to take the turret, or when the enemy is overextended.
3. Teamfight when your entire team is there.  Do you mean initiate fights?
4. Baron when it's either a 2v5, or a 3v5 and their jungler is dead.
5. Dragon whenever you force bot lane to back.  Care for enemy jungler.
6. There is such thing as taking a turret too early, but for the most part, take a tower when it feels ready to fall.  Don't force turrets until after winning a fight or if you're splitpushing.
7. I know nothing about rotations.
8. ALWAYS GROUP.  WHEN TURRETS ARE DOWN AND THE ENEMY TEAM DON'T CARE JUST STAY IN A GROUP.  SAFETY IN NUMBERS.  STICK WITH YOUR TANK AND YOUR ADC.  THE TANK SO YOU'RE SAFE AND THE ADC SO HE'S SAFE.  JUST STAY GROUPED OKAY?!
9. Switch lanes when you feel the swapped matchup will be better, eg release yasuo, top lane would go mid and mid would go top because yasuo does worse against top laners.
10. watch gbay99
scaling runes are usually better after level 6.  So if you need the early stuff (mainly if you're a jungler or intend to cheese the opponent early (or if you want over 100 AD on fiora at level 1)) take flat runes.  Otherwise scaling is the way to go

Two more things: Yeah I meant initiating a teamfight. Also what do you do when your lane is losing and your opponent is denying farm really well?

Initiate whenever you have an advantage.

Yep.  Taking golems/wolves/wraiths can help you stay relevant.  Another thing you could do is lane swap.  But if you start off losing your lane, like if the enemy laner gets first blood on you and starts to successfully poke you out of lane, there are a few things you can do.  1, you can start buying cheap defensive items.  A good thing to get is Chain Vest/Negatron Cloak.  They help you survive poke and burst.  Getting a flask can also help against poke.  If your opponent is just ignoring you and farming until you come close, just let him.  He already proved that under normal circumstances he can kill you.  You need a significant advantage to beat him the next time (you have both sums and your ult he has neither, your jungler is coming, etc.)

Line swaping isn't always good. If your very very not fed, then you could feed other lanes and adventually the whole line is fed.

Did you read her passive?  It goes something like this:
"I can click on you to auto attack then immediately jump out of range of your auto"
