New Spacebar Camera Mechanic

I know a lot of people had been complaining about how spacebar did not center your champion before. However, the way I play, I play with semi-locked camera, and hold my spacebar down 90% of the game. This is when I am laning or focusing on my character. This allows me to move my camera around but keep my character on my screen. I had no problem finding my character when pressing the spacebar. I would release my spacebar to look around the map, at other lanes, or while I was walking back to lane. The way league is right now is almost unplayable for me. I request that there be a toggle somewhere in the settings for the old mechanic back. This is extremely important to me, and anyone who played in a similar way to me would understand as well. Currently, the only way to actually use semi-locked camera is to use the toggle, which means instead of releasing the spacebar, I would have to press it again. This is further compounded by the issue that there's no good indicator to tell you whether or not the locked camera is on. I have been making it through my games by using the centered space-bar camera, which is how I played when first starting the game, but I would like the old functionality back as an option. It is torture to be shown what is possible, and then taking that away. Thanks.

I started a discussion about this a week ago (https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/bug-report/phEoQMy4-gameplay-semi-locked-camera-does-not-work) and Riot Exgeniar has asked for feedback for a more intuitive control scheme for semi-locked here: https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/bug-report/phEoQMy4-gameplay-semi-locked-camera-does-not-work?comment=000200000000 -- your feedback would be most appreciated.

Thanks so much man, you are a godsend, I was looking for other people who were in the same camp as me, and I'm relieved to have found it. Just to confirm, they are reverting the changes back next patch while they look for a more holistic fix correct? All that's left for me to do now is to wait another week and then I can start playing again.

That seems to be what Exgeniar is proposing. It'll make the game playable for me too. :)
