Can anyone point me toward a good explanation of how all the new rune/mastery poo poo has shaken up the game for someone who hasn't played since a long-rear end time ago?

It looks really neat but I'm also terrified of trying to do anything at all without the loads of stats from rune pages, especially jungling.

Just go to Lolalytics and copy the highest winrate runes

This site is very useful, thanks.

Does the silver squid discord still get used for people playing this? It looks like a dead chatroom.

Those numbers can't be right for Nunu, there is no way, just casually giving your mid laner a even stronger deathcap which stacks with their deathcap.
Just casually bloodboil karthus and have him requiem to one shot the enemy team, bloodboil literally any poke or pick mage like xerath/lux/zoe/ziggs and just delete anyone who gets hit by anything.

Not to mention Nunu will just slap people to death again with 3 base AD on top of 55 magic damage at 9.

It's capped at 120 AP it looks like? That's not too insane.

It's a bruiser item, not a melee carry item.

Or at least that used to be the case, they may have changed it drastically again (again again)

Not sure about Nami runes but

Leona takes aftershock, whatever, they both take precision as secondary and get overheal / coup
Both start relic, pots
Leona builds like she normally would and Nami builds ap, skills are as normal. They both start Q then max W-E-Q, I think. The basic combo is for Leona to E in, Q, Nami bubbles right after and they kill that person
It's really fun and really effective, my friend (who is a plat Nami) and I are something like 5 for 5 with this gimmick in ranked flex

In the video Leona maxes Q first but I feel like you could go either way.

Leona is still just as fun and good as I remember, and now with even more wacky support items she can use well.

So is the FQC active just gone forever now, instead of being moved to another item like was done with other old item changes?

Bam this is where I bust in to say that some people aren't really capable of having fun casually with a game because their sense of enjoyment is derived from the pure display of skill in and of itself and from showing everyone how food they are, in league this translate to rank

Magic even has a name for players like that that's used by development, Spike

If your sense of fun is derived from how well you're doing, League of Legends is NOT the game for you. Random team games in general, really. There is virtually nothing you can do to affect the performance of your teammates, especially if you're already tilted from a loss.

What is amove

Attack move. You press A and click the ground, and it will move you toward that location until something is in range to attack, then you'll attack it. There's a lot more technical stuff you can do with it too, but it's primarily good for chasing into bushes and such.

Cait and Ashe are both fairly straightforward to pick up and learn, you might try those. Lucian is also fun as gently caress but much harder and I dunno how good he is nowadays.

rubick and meepo would be terrible in league. leagues design philosophy of having cohesive, very synergistic abilities make taking any random ability feel less impactful. meepo would be absolute hell to control, as league has no interest in rts micro and any micro in the game is completely at odds with the games engine and you have to battle just to be able to do simple movement. pugna would be less pugnacious.

i would much rather newer, original characters.

Techies, on the other hand, would be wonderful in LoL.

So after 20 garen games I decided to try support (I picked top somewhat randomly and wanted to try each role for a while before settling and now seems as good a time as any).

Played Janna in a normal and I like this playstyle. I'm way to aggressive though and got a bit overwhelmed on everything. Is there any support 101 soloreneckton style streamers for support?

You're already doing at least one part right.
