@Ryker - What Adumb said. Also, I was recommending champions, he can do whatever he wants in the grand scheme of things. Doesn't make a difference to me. It's not a bad thing to be familiar with the current meta though, hell, I'd even say it gives him equal footing going in against all those smurfs that people make these days.
@RR - Well, I mean, duh, but it's hard to "counter" those champions since, no matter who you try to counter them with, those champions are going to be pretty viable throughout the game (although I feel like Morgana is beginning to fall off for some reason.)
