[CLIENT] Consistent connection issues in queue and champ select

I've been encountering consistent connection issues since 8.11 in the client during game queue:

  • After starting the queue, sometimes it's impossible to leave - hitting "X" either in the lobby menu or in the sidebar does nothing, and the only way to cancel is to restart the client.
  • While in queue, finding a game takes significantly longer than usual, or estimated
  • The AFK check won't pop up until after it has expired; the client will briefly pop up a full-timer window before notifying me that I've failed the AFK check
  • If the AFK check does pop up and allow me to accept, it might not proceed to the game lobby, instead freezing on the AFK check. Restarting the client and attempting to start again triggers the dodge penalty.
  • If I get to champ select, it might lag out during any given selection period, endlessly stuck on "0 seconds left". If I have not selected my champion by that time, I receive a dodge penalty. If I have selected my champion, eventually I will see "X has left the lobby" - either due to someone dodging, or the game starting. If the game starts, restarting the client allows me to reconnect to the game and play normally.
  • Frequently, after games, the client will get stuck in the "Skip Waiting for Stats" screen, and offer no choice to give honor or view game stats.
  • Restarting the client after any of these events sometimes fails; the league of legends executable will run, show the initial LOL loading splash, but abort before the client launches.
  • If in queue with a party, the rest of the party will receive the AFK check as normal, while I won't see it - this is how I originally recognized the bug

The game itself has no connectivity issues. Solid 40-60ms ping (standard for my area), no lag spikes, no problems connecting - all connection issues are in the launch client itself. This effects all game queues. I've reinstalled the client, run the Hextech autorepair tool, checked settings on my local network, nada. This only started with 8.11, and there haven't been any system changes on my end.

Has riot found a solution for this? I have been getting dodge penalties when I'm not dodging because it wont let me pick.
