Oof, 2-4 on the day with (re-)learning Soraka/Sona, then 0-2 with some Sejuani jungle games. Definitely feeling rusty.
One thing I never really worked on was camera management; I committed the sin of mostly using locked camera. I am trying to use unlocked but it's hard to juggle camera movement with everything else I'm trying to do. I did notice there's a semi-locked camera that lets you pan around a little bit but always have your champ on screen, that's... maybe better.
Anyone gotten progress on their VoD watching yet? I logged in again today, and have gotten 0 progress again wanted to make sure it wasn't just messing up for me somehow.

Really wish I could just zoom out a little more.
I think you will get used to it with practice, and you won’t want to go back. You get so much more screen territory in lane if your guy is on the edge instead of stuck in the center! It becomes very much second nature to flick your mouse around to scroll—and I actually have my mouse set on fairly low sensitivity, so I make relatively large mouse movements to pan, and it’s still completely second nature.
Lootbox farming update: although it took approximately 999 games of Ezreal to get an S, it took only one normals game of Ziggs and one of Diana(!) to get two more, so I guess I’m done for the season. I definitely didn’t get the maximum number possible and let it sit at 4 possible for weeks on end cause I was only grinding ranked with a limited champion pool most of the time, but oh well. I unlocked astronaut teemo, so that’s worth.
I really love some of the new skins so maybe I’ll be more deliberate about lootbox farming next season—and it doesn’t hurt to get out of my comfort zone on champions once in a while.

Mine wasn't working initially, came up for part of the week last week (Tue./Wed. maybe? Enough to do the missions with a few LEC games). I thought I'd get a new one today but haven't, so I don't know what's going on. But yeah, those not working isn't that unusual.
The new videos have been cool. No one's linked this one yet? Technically it wasn't supposed to be available yet, but...

And my ADCs are always bad, it's Bronze, but I see your point
Lot of losses yesterday/today as I play around with the different champs in my pool I remember enjoying. I think I like Warwick more than Sejuani for sure, and I could play Sona/Soraka/Alistar pretty interchangeably.
I'll probably try to do some ranked climbing with Warwick, just gotta practice his Q+E shenanigans. The new Training Mode is a godsend.

Warwick is pretty awesome--and I say that as someone who was sad to see him updated. It took me several games before his Q didn't feel clunky (with the chomp / pass-through option), but after playing him for a bit I got a better handle on it. Same with the ult. He is pretty safe and is solid for "gank this person now" decisions off his W.

I'm playing a little again after a year away. I know about ranked changes for S9, and the turret plating. I hear scuttle crabs are important - how important? Anything else actually significant I need to know about as a for-fun casual? I tried to look for a website or video covering changes but it's a sea of awful thumbnails with clickbait titles from bad "content" creators.
Imagine if your jungler can get you a river ward that can’t be pink’d out for a couple of minutes. With how limited vision is, it can be super handy. The movement speed boost is just gravy on top of it.
Especially when they sit in front of the dragon or baron pit.

What's the deal with the five or six diamonds that appear under a turret in the early game? I figure it has something to do with plating but I can't determine what it's trying to signify.

Nah, that's when you have the Demolish rune. They're building up when you stay within range. Once it gets to 6 stacks your next attack deals 100 [+30% of your Max Health] bonus physical damage, then there is a 45 second cooldown.
You might also see teammate's demolish indicators on the tower, I'm not sure.

Also they're worth quite a bit of experience, so having a jungler who can ensure he or she takes one of them in the first round is pretty good. (Also also, they restore a bunch of mana...that might be only if you have Smite, but I'm not actually sure on that.)
Under your Profile, hover the leftmost icon underneath your summoner name / border / icon / XP bar. That's how many you have available to earn. If you check the champions on your Collection tab, each one with whom you've earned a chest this season will have a box around their icon.

This was kind of answered, but you do see the indicator if an ally has the Demolish rune as well.
Trying to think of what my Team 3 would look like.
Ashe (I think a bow-wielding SG could work real well), Zoe (because of course), Sona (Because I want nice things), Taliyah, and Sejuani (the most angry of SG's).

I mean...Syndra is already right there. Is Sej angrier than a person who literally attacks using manifestations of her anger?

MY WALLET IS NOT READY.
Zoe better become a Star Guardian, dammit! My wallet is primed and ready for that drop.
The perfect time for Star Guardian Urgot.
Also Warwick is an amazing jungler. I plan on maining WW and Hecarim to somewhere above Bronze, which is where I have ended up for two seasons because I constantly play ranked with different champions

Anyone gotten progress on their VoD watching yet? I logged in again today, and have gotten 0 progress again wanted to make sure it wasn't just messing up for me somehow.
went to the 'boards' and someone said log out , log back in and watch a VoD. I did this and completed my watch 3/3 quest for 250 BE Hope it works for ya
Just to be clear, the only thing I can do with my 34k blue essence (rune refunds heyo) is unlock champions? Like IP used to do? Kind of surprised I can't get emotes or something for it.
Updating tends to mean adding more power and elements to their kit. It might be slightly more difficult to play them - look at old Warwick to new, but every larger scale rework has had their time to shine. Warwick has been no worse than solid since he's come out.
Hell Akali's been out for a little while and there's still negative counterplay.
So I just went to log in after not playing since late last night. Loggedin and played one game I belive.
You have made too many requests within a short period of time. Please try again later.
Went to the website and tried to log in to send a support ticket, get the same error.
Guessing somebody tried / is trying to hack my account right now? Any clue how long it takes for this error to resolve/a way to contact support about it?
I would post their video about gameplay / game modes, but I don't think it had any useful content other than "we're doing some stuff."
They're going to add the Catapult to ARURF, which is new but had already been announced? Oh, and no big mid-season patch like they've been doing. Trying to think if there was any other information.

True but it sometimes makes the champ harder to use and occasionally turns me off to them completely

A handful of them are, but poor-gank junglers or ones that rely on their ultimate are getting a pretty big whack to the legs for early game
Xin and J4 will dominate this change because they can do lvl2 ganks due to damage and inherent CC in their kits.
