We need an overlay for premades and ranks

In champ select as well as in game. Champ select would be your team only for the premade overlay though, so as to keep out unfair disadvantages of knowing/informed guessing of who is going where (for an example, if there is a duo on the enemy team, it is a good chance they will be the bot lane, and if they chose something which normally is a flex, like a Trundle, Lux, Morgana, or Brand, where that team has intend for them to be the support, it could be seen as defiantly the support and not any other role by your team, removing the flex of that pick).

In game both should be visible for both teams. Knowing who is premade and their ranks are very important. It allows you to predict if you should play passively expecting a camp, because the jungle is premade with your lane, or play aggressive because you are facing the 1 solo player on a team with a 4 man. Also, it shows you if you are that unlucky player who is facing someone way out of your league, like a silver 4 facing a platinum 5 (yes this does happen because those players usually are drafted as MMR counter balances to skew the team's MM average closer to their opponents).

Or you can just use your brain and think about these things on your own. You should also show some level of respect to the players that you are playing against and expect there to be a semblance of skill.

Thinking about and knowing are two separate things. Also, I believe that every player has a semblance of skill, just sometimes their levels are very different.

They took it out because premades are inherently toxic, but they didn't want to fix it so they hid it instead.

I know, it was awesome. And I think that that inherent toxicity has improved since the time when this was implemented.
