Honestly, in terms of solo queue what does he best really comes down to is your own skill and knowledge as a player.

Try out some of the champions that are on free rotation. Find ones that you really enjoy playing, one that you really want to play over and over again. The more you enjoy those champion, the more you will play them. The more you play them, the more you will learn about how they work, and the better you will get at them. The better you are at them, the more enjoyable they will become to play. It really just becomes a upward spiral of motivation.

Be aware of the meta, for sure, and understand where your favourites excel and where they may fall short, but the most reliable way to climb is to improve your own skill. You do that by logging in as many hours as you can. And the more fun you have while doing that (e.g. by playing the champions you love), the easier it will be for you to stay motivated.

I could give you a small list of champions I think are strong or overpowered, but that will honestly come with a personal bias towards the champions I like. Besides - even if they are strong, if you don't enjoy playing them after 10 or 20 games, you're not gonna perform as well on a champion that you love and have played for 100, 150, 200 games.
