What are ways to return to the game?

It's been a while since I played, and the fact is that I suck right now. What are some ways I can minimize the impact on other players while still getting practice against them?

The meta's very different from when I left, a lot of the champs I mained have seen reworks and nerfs, and there's a lot more CC flying around. IP isn't a thing anymore, and a lot of the items in my loadouts aren't available anymore. Even the keystones and runes are totally different. So I have to admit I'm more than a little lost at where to begin. Half of this game revolves around builds, and it seems am starting completely fresh there. Thankfully I do have some of my mechanical skill remaining...

Just play blind pick normals. Most people just want to have a fun, quick game and don't care about winning. If someone is flaming you in normals, mute them.

Try out new/ reworked champs in a custom or practice tool if you own them. Check sites like leagueofgraphs for runes.

Aram can also be good for trying out a lot of champs in quick games.

Ignore the "meta". It's meaningless for 90% of the game.

I'd wait for Nexus Blitz and come in with that since that hasn't really got a meta (Like all good things that'll end eventually though)
