How to reproduce: Step 1) Load up some music or a podcast Step 2) Open up League and log in Step 3) Open up any lobby (I tried both blind pick and ranked solo)

You will now no longer be able to use your keyboard's play/pause button to pause your music until you close League (fixes it 100% of the time) or leave the lobby (fixes it only a small percentage of the time - usually it will persist even after leaving a lobby). Your "next track" and "previous track" buttons will, however, still continue to work. This bug only affects play/pause.

Also, um.... Why? Why is League capturing system media key events AT ALL?

Also my entire client is muted, because I see no purpose to sounds outside of the actual game. Which makes this even more hilarious.

EDIT: November 23, 2019 - this bug still exists. No Riot response.

EDIT 2: I have a Rito response. They are fixing it. The ticket I sent was just um.... Not handled the greatest. So I was debating whether posting the actual unedited response would be a dick move or not.

EDIT 3: This bug still exists as of patch 9.24
