Hey everybody! After taking a bit of a break from League, I've decided to give it another go. My worry is I'm lacking tons of knowledge. I quit right before Ekko was released, which, from what I've heard, was a good thing for me. Can anybody help give me a general idea of the meta champs right now so I know what I'm getting into? Thanks, Shadow

But I thought everyone was still quitting :0

I came back recently as well. Kindred, Nidalee, Malzahar, and Zed are all very strong champs (and usually banned most of the time) some of the other strong picks are Ekko, Annie, Bard (need to be really good with him, but has a lot of potential), Brand, Elise, Fiddlesticks, Fizz, Gragas, Janna, Kha'zix, Lucian, Olaf, Rek'Sai, Ryze, Taric, Trundle, Twisted Fate, Twitch, Veigar, Vel'Koz, Vi, Yasuo, Zac, Zilean, and Zyra

Granted this is not the full list and each pick in there is situational, but those champs are strong in the current meta (Tank meta)

Thank you for the help! How easy has it been to get back in the flow of the game?

A look at http://champion.gg/statistics sorted by play rate, win rate, and ban rate should give you a good idea of what's reliable/meta, strong, and annoying/broken, respectively.

Items have had the biggest change, and are a lot more relevant than champions to the meta.
