I've been having a similar issue of a generally buggy client: starting up the game, selecting a game type with "Find Match" button grayed out, the client freezing during champ/banning select (though the chat still works in real time), and client freezing when trying to accept a match.

As for starting up the client I found a temporary solution from a old thread: by going to the LoL file folder (you can right click the LoL shortcut for quick access to the folder) and using the 4 year old "lol.launcher.exe" file. After a few clicks (there will be a prompt saying it will update the client, which only takes a second, and a prompt requesting access to the Windows Command application) it automatically redirects you to the newer client.
