What champs are best ATM?

I've been out of League for about a month now and I know a lot of changes have been added recently. I want to list the champs I usually play in each position and in the order I play them from most often to least (but still competent with). If you guys would tell me who I play that is really suited for season 4 I would appreciate it, as well as tell me who I don't play that I should perhaps pick up and learn. I'd like to get back into league and increase my win rate. Before I stopped I was really starting to lose A LOT of games and I'm wondering if it was because I was playing out classed champs.

Jung: NautilusNautilus , PoppyPoppy , SkarnerSkarner , ViVi , XinXinZhao , HecHecarim , NocNocturne , YiMasterYi , SejSejuani , ZacZac , ShyvShyvana , NidaleeNidalee , UdyrUdyr (also own but not proficient with: VoliVolibear , EvelynnEvelynn , GPGangplank , PanthPantheon , RammusRammus , WWWarwick , TrynTryndamere , ShacoShaco , Lee SinLeeSin , AatroxAatrox , JaxJax )

Top: PanthPantheon , KayleKayle , NidaleeNidalee , VoliVolibear (own but no proficient: JaxJax , IrelliaIrelia , GPGangplank , GarenGaren , JayceJayce , YiMasterYi , TrynTryndamere , AatroxAatrox , OlafOlaf )

Support: Once upon a time SonaSona ......AlistarAlistar , LeonaLeona , BlitzBlitzcrank , GPGangplank , TaricTaric , BraumBraum (own but not proficient: ThreshThresh , SorakaSoraka )

ADC: QuinnQuinn , DravenDraven , MFMissFortune , UrgotUrgot if you count him (own but not proficient: SivirSivir , CaitlynCaitlyn )

Mid: FizzFizz , KayleKayle (own but not proficient: GraggyGragas , VeigarVeigar , TFTwistedFate , AnnieAnnie )

That's pretty much it. I listed in order of role most played and champ most played. Is there anyone on my list who I should focus on? Anyone not on my list who I should pick up and try out? Any of my champs that I should try out in a different role? I appreciate any advice on the subject. For anyone you suggest, perhaps also suggest ways to build them, or maybe just link me a good build guide or youtube vid.

Part of it seems like you are simply playing too many champions to get enough experience with any of them.

You should just narrow down a few picks for each role, and whenever you're playing that role, pick from that pool.

I only really started to climb when I laser-focused on a couple main champs who I end up playing 90% of the time in ranked.

Thresh and Rammus. If I'm forced into a different role I'll play someone else but if I can I'll play one of those two and I'm pulling down really good averages

Jungle: Lee Sin and Vi are probably your best bets. Vi is a safer pick, but if you are mechanically sound with Lee, he is amazing (see what I did there?) I'd also say Shaco, when played well, will almost always be a solid pick. Nocturne as a backup.

Top: Gotta be Nidalee. Shes a lane bully, and many people cry OP. Kayle as a backup, but Jax and Irelia are better options if you can get good enough with them.

Support: Sona is pretty good, since her rework. Leona is still a solid pick, same with Blitz. But Braum or Thresh are definitely the way to go.

ADC: Draven Draven Draven Draven Draven Draven Draven Draven Draven Draven Draven Draven Draven Draven

But also Caitlyn.

Mid: Don't go mid.

LastShadow's tier list for 4.14, super helpful in regards to the highest levels of play/current meta.
