Old player coming back!

Hi guys so quick intro!. I'm an old league player who quitted around two years ago due to little bro having a YouTube addiction and he would literally listen to music video at 1080p, download full hd movies on his computer and watch a 2K movie on his TV AT THE SAME TIME. This of course made me rage and made my ping go to the moon making the game unplayable and around that time my main laptop stopped working and secondary just sucked... Anyhow, I'm back and trying to get the hang of the game again. I have one account in LAN which is lvl 18 and somehow I have lvl 3 runes at that lvl but LAN community is the most toxic thing ever, oh and trolls everywhere! :). My favorite champion Yasuo apparently got nerfed and that with having to play duo mid due to trolls makes it pretty hard so I have been doing like thrash. I somehow remembered my NA lvl 13 account cause main one was impossible and so far I have played 2 matches with Singed who is apparently lower than Urgot tier but I achieved one of this new S+ and S ranks. With Veigar I got S and S- and I think a B or A in 3 matches so I think I will stay in NA BUT I read he is bad right now as well so my question is! (sorry for the long background) how is the current meta, which champions do you recommend, explain new systems if you want and can AND perhaps opinions on what I have said so far!!!! Long answers are wanted otherwise I cry. Also if anyone wants to provide some help in game or maybe wants to team up although not so highly skilled since I have recently returned and never really got to 30, I wouldn't have any problems!!!!. THANKS FOR READING !!! [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

The game is kind of bad right now. Riot makes balancing changes to the wrong things while ignoring what is strong. Too often will they make a nerf to some high tier champion that hits the base damage of one of their spells by 20, instead of looking at ratios and cool downs. Right now the only good marksmen are ones that are safe, mainly because snowballing is so important, if you get behind early you will lose. Team fighting champions are strictly meta, if your champion isn't ahead and they aren't team fight designed you will have a lot of problems. Death timers are long, dying late game means that you will lose a lot in game. Mid game arrives a lot faster than previous seasons, mainly because of lower item costs, longer death timers, weak towers, and heavy snowballing. The game is still addicting as ever, but I am disappointed with Riot recently, but hey can't change much as a player.

Look up "league tier list" for the current patch and you have what you need about the solo queue meta
