As it says, I queued for a ranked game and it never opened up? My League client says "Game in progress" but nothing opened so... I guess I just lose LP for nothing? :/

This can't be a coincidence. It happened to me twice and I've seen more complain about it. Something is broken. Anyway, here is how you fix it:

Open your Task Manager
Go to your processes and order them by name
Find the "League of Legends" instance and terminate it. Simply right click then "Terminate" or Left Click then DELETE key. Be sure to only remove the one with the older icon. That is the game client.

Basically, you need to forcefully kill the game client and click the "Reconnect" button.

I am also having this problem. killing the task did seem to work, or I actually lost finally.

yeah, this has happened to me 3 times now and you actually have to totally restart your cpu. By the time you get in you've already started off so far behind that you can't really recover. pretty much can't play ranked anymore.
