[CLIENT] Launcher Issues (Not Avast)

So my launcher won't start, I immediately check Reddit / LoL forums for answers. Most people find it's an issue with Avast and it's Virus Chest / Quarantine. Initially I found this to be the case, and I quickly restored and made exceptions for the specific files, as well as the entire C:\RiotGames file path. My problems persisted. I've uninstalled / reinstalled the client with no luck. I've tried deleting the launcher / patcher files as well with no progress at all.

Finally I decided to check my Log files. Here's what I've found...

You'll notice in the LoLPatcherUx log that it says LoLPatcher.exe isn't found -- but I've found both in my lol_patcher/releases/0.0.0.14/deploy folder.. I'm not sure if this is where the LoLPatcherUx process is operating from / looking for the .exe, but either way, I can't figure out how to fix this issue. Any input (especially from Riot staff) would be greatly appreciated.

Ya I just tried to launch LoL myself and for the first time since Beta version I cannot launch/patch the game. The game creates the launcher/patches folders and then gets stuck. I see some failed log entries about PMB. WTF is pando media booster even involved with your launcher still?? I thought you lego coders got rid of that shite. The coding for this game seems to be getting worse and worse. That last round of winject hacks was the worst embarrassment.

I've found a 'solution' by replacing my Hosts file.
