Hey Conrad, hope school and everything else up there is going well. PuGs are in the same state, sometimes its fun to faceroll the 5mans, but it is nowhere near competitive.
Plebs are still happening every now and then, and are still very fun and competitive games.
I'd say its worth coming back now to enjoy the meta while it lasts because BFA will shake things up--
PuGwise it looks like enchants and gear will matter again, giving incentive for more new twinks to join the bracket, and for older twinks make a comeback, likely improving overall game quality.
10v10 wise it's impossible to say how the meta will shape out, but again, Legion is so fun that you should come back just to enjoy the tail end of the meta with the twinks.
