3 ranked remakes and a leaverbuster because the match begins while I'm still loading

I'd like to mean it figuratively but I'm totally unable to play the game anymore. As I attempt to join a game, loading progress becomes really slow at the 60% mark and by the time I get to 79% the game seems to have been remade, making me lose LP and culminating in getting a leaverbuster.

Was there any thought put into making this client or was it a guy's friday afternoon puke? I just don't get it. This issue appeared totally out of the blue. My laptop and network are the same I've always had, but I guess my luck has changed.

Anyone else experienced the same issue? Perhaps Riot could shed some attention here?

I mean if you posted PC specs than we'd know if you play on a toaster or not, Why not do some PC clean up / make sure your drivers are up to date. It's quite possible that,

A) your computer has fallen out of minimum required specs, B) your computer hard drive / storage is full or on its way out C) your drivers are outdated (update via manufacturer websites / device manager) D) your processor is failing.

I also recommend using the hex-tech repair tool to possibly diagnose / resolve any issue (If this doesn't work highly consider the above).

Free up some hard drive space.

League and other large games often make use of what's called your hard drive swapfile - the temporary file space on your hard drive that serves as "overflow" for memory.

I found that this started happening on one of the recent patches, but it went away as soon as I made sure my computer had 100+GB of potential swapfile space.

I've got the same issue with loading. It's taking forever. My PC is good, internet connection too and the game is installed on SSD. It's definitly something wrong with the game...[sg-janna]
