What happens: After losing, and leaving the game, "Reconnect" is the only option available.

What has been tried: Tried pretty much everything what has been suggested on the forums/reddit (since this bug seemed to be rather common in June'ish):

Rebooting modem
Force the game to close
Running the game in various compability modes
Deleting and reinstalling the game
...

What helps: Only waiting for the current game to end.

How often does this happen: Feels like 95% of the times.

When did this start: Been a couple of months now.

How frustrating is this: Very frustrating, especially when playing with friends.

Are you disconnecting before you actually lose? If you disconnect before the finishing blow actually hits you, you'll be stuck with reconnect.

No, I disconnect after I lose. Usually by clicking the exit game -button next to the option to stay and watch after being given the placement. I have also tried reconnecting and then clicking Surrender, staying to spectate and then quit from the options etc., but without any results.

I have the same thing, tried submitting a ticket, got the bullshit copypaste response with the troubleshooting guide. Meanwhile I reinstalled my PC, the same problem, feels like from TFT launch, some other players I know have it as well, guess Riot doesn't give a shit about european playerbase now, they just don't even read the boards huh.

Having the same issue. Have tried re-entering and exiting the game several times. Really inconvenient. Hope Riot does something about it eventually, cause it's turning me off to the game type.
