Should I get back in again?

About a little over a year ago I stopped playing League because my schedule got too crazy and at the time I was happy about it. People talk all the time about how unfun league is at times and I was definitely one of them. Games were getting more competitive, people were getting more toxic and even after playing a solid amount of game time I was still just a pleb stuck in low gold high silver.

But recently I've been getting hit with a lot of nostalgia and am seriously considering reinstalling.

So do you guys who do play right now think I should jump back in or keep my distance? Has league gotten better, do any of you have experience just needing some distance from the game? or is it still just a painful cesspool I should stay away from?
