In the friends tab there is an option to group offline and group mobile together. Make sure both the options are selected then minimize both the groups.

Fix your shitty game just spent 35 mins total in queue timers because of black screen, oh and your game crashes every time I open league since last patch

I find a bit of entertainment in the fact that people are so worked up about an issue for what they call a "shitty game". If it's so shitty, why do you play?

Rito spaghetti code at it's finest. How about fixing the shit that's wrong with your game (balance included) rather than pushing out a "new" unfinished client, new champs and items and awful flavor gametypes. The worst is that we can't even try restarting the client when it happens. Yay leaverbuster! You fixed all the problems! /s

ModiFeb 28, 20171 votes

To everyone who has already posted (and will post) about this topic: if you worry about your league rank & LP as much as your comments say, revert to using the legacy client until this is resolved.

I wondered if it was just me but this thread proves my suspicions. Yep, count me amongst those who just wanted to play a game but once i hit champ select....black screen with no ability to do anything....so i get dodged and penalized for it. Never had this bug before and I've used the new client since November. Riot, I hope you prioritize fixing this.

Similar issue; My champion select doesn't go black, it simply freezes completely. Duo partner told me champ select continued. I was forced to quit the program and log back in, but of course I can't get back into Champ Select even while it's still going on...

btw, this has been an issue since season 4 when i started playing. assumed it was a weak programmer on their payroll. Yolo. You know, that one employee that does bare minimum and skirts by with a job sucking down a salary. lol!

we get what we pay for, friends.

I found a fix that works for me. Please try this and let me know if it works for you to. Click on the upper right hand corner of your friends list, click "group by mobile." "group by offline." - Once both of those are checked this should resolve any issues with matches loading. I think it has something to do with the size of your friends list and sorting the information.
