If you add League of Legends to Steam as a third-party shortcut, you can launch the game from big picture mode and configure the Steam Controller as usual. I'd like to move the camera smoothly with the left touchpad. I've tried assigning the arrow keys to it, but that doesn't allow for smooth scrolling and doesn't work in all 360 degrees. Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

It should suffice to launch Steam with the -bigpicture switch.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe -bigpicture
Windows 8 boots to Metro, of course, so you may want to either use one of the Windows 8 "backwards compatibility tools" like Start8, or to run a very little script in AHK at boot time:
Send #D
...or you can use Windows 7 instead (Windows 8 SP1 might also let you skip to Metro)
If you're playing a 'Games for Windows Live' enabled game, you should be able to shut it off through the fancy Windows Live menu that appears get when you press and hold the Guide button (the big green X in the center).
If you're not playing a Windows Live, enabled game, it looks like you're out of luck; the only way to shut off your controller short of popping the batteries out is to leave it inactive for a period of time (reports online vary; anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes seems to cover the range).
However, you're not the only one who has been annoyed by this, it seems. I found a free utility for Windows that appears to give you some extra functionality when you press and hold the Guide button, and it allows you to shut off your controller through a brand new dialog box.

Make the left touchpad emulate Mouse Region, entire screen, and Function on reaching outer boundary left click. Bind ingame camera settings to click scroll.
Or omit the click scroll part for non-click camera. Make sure to have the touchpad spring back to center when you let go.
