Best champions for each role? Best pro players?

In your opinion, what are the best champions to play for each role in the current meta game? Please don't comment: "Whichever one you're good at!" I know skill is arguably the most important factor in doing well, other than good communication and keeping your cool, but some champions reward skill with more positive repercussions than others in the current meta game. I recently got back into league, played my placements, and got into G4 and i'm climbing. I also would like to know the best pro players (funny or skillful) so I could watch some :)

Top: depends. fairly versatile lane. A few strong choices: Vladimir Rumble Maokai Gnar Hecarim(has it rough with mana now though) Sion. Cassiopeia can go here or mid. Recently, ive seen a lot of successful Yasuo tops. I also personally like full damage Rengar for his absurd assassination burst. Top Laners to watch: C9 BaIIs, Best Rengar NA, Sirhcez, Dyrus (though I find his games depressing).

Jungle: Gragas Sejuani RekSai are supreme right now. They just bring everything: damage while tank, mobility, strong AoE CC, and (minus Sej) poke. also, Evelynn cinderhulk is silly. Fuck Nunu. Less-optimal-but-still-good picks: JarvanIV MasterYi Amumu Volibear DrMundo. Junglers to watch: Santorin, Meteos, Nightblue3, Saintvicious (I don't like the oddone, but you can probably learn some stuff about jungle Olaf from him).

Mid: lots of variety here. The pros favor Kassadin, Leblanc, Orianna, Zed, {{champion:115}, Azir, Ahri, and others, but soloqueue has some more interesting stuff: Katarina, Vladimir, Morgana,Annie, Karthus, KogMaw, TwistedFate. At a pro level, it's all about counterpicks here, but at soloqueue level, it's wide open. Mids to watch: Bjergsen. You don't REALLY need to watch anyone else, imo, but you can also watch Hai and Froggen pretty often.

ADC: Jinx Ashe Kalista (but don't because she's a cunt) Sivir Lucian and maybe Vayne are the real carries in the tank meta. I still like Graves, but he and Corki are really outclassed. Sneaky also plays a lot of Twitch with middling success, so. I guess if you're Sneaky. ADC'S to watch: Sneaky's the only one I follow. Welcome to his butthole. I guess Double lift and Wildturtle are fine too.

Support: Janna Thresh Nautilus are the real power picks right now, though many champions such as Leona Alistar Nami Morgana Lulu are still strong. Soraka is the most hated support because her heals are absurd, and you have to focus her. Blitzcrank is still great for hooks. Also, beware the Bard; he's on the rise. Supports to watch: Aphromoo and Krepo are my go-tos. I'm also an Xpecial fan.

what ever champ your good at is the best cahamp to play and building items to counter what they have, or having runes that counter them.
