Been having a major issue ... (mostly for RIOT)

For quite a while now (months - maybe even a year), I've been having this issue where, after champ selection, when the game starts loading you into the match ... it would either hit supreme lag or disconnect without technically disconnecting. The load would work its way to 100%, then it would just stay they forever til the match ended.

When dealing with the same issue, I've also had a pop-up saying that there was a Critical Error, but I could never click it cause the dang system would lag the heck up or freeze. This issue might happen once or twice each time I click to load the game. The results? Me obviously arriving late to the game (min. of 5mins) and being branded an AFK (by the game, and as you can imagine, at times by the players). A few times I haven't even been able to make it to the match, thus missing the whole thing (especially lately with urf).

I've used task manager to close League, and reclick, re-log in etc ... sometimes that doesn't even help. (short term in the moment attempt of a solution) I've uninstalled the game and reinstalled. I've run the Hextech repair thing ... came up with nothing as far as i know. Of course, ran my anti-virus/malware, blah blah ... nothing. Defragged and cleared cache - no improvement.

I've tried sending a bug report ... or actually did, but haven't received any word from them (dunno if they actually reply or not).

Now I'm sitting on low-priority queue, cause of this crap.

If I'm not the only one dealing with this, do please say so ... otherwise, wth?!

-big breath- I honestly don't know what else to do.
