My post is not about the Leaver Buster issue more than it is about the Client itself that ended up also causing a Leaver Buster message.

I repeat, this is a Client issue which would not let me reconnect that I want to report !

I was in the last seconds of entering an ARAM game with Heimerdinger as my internet suddenly crashed. As a result the client crashed as well saying that it could not connect to the PVP servers. Apparently what happened is that:

  • internet crashed as I was in the last seconds to start the game
  • League of legends got disconnected from PVP.net and crashed
  • the game started regardless
  • internet went back up a few moments later
  • league KEPT ME AS LOGGED IN for the rest of the game
  • League would not let me log back at any cost until the game ended

I regained my internet a few moments later and tried repeatedly reconnecting only to be told the message "Failed to connect to PVP.net" and then there was another message that appeared as well intermittently which I cannot remember at the moment.

I have tried everything from restarting League, force shutting League through the task manager, opening another League client on top of it to force League to shut down, even restarted my computer but still got the same message. My friend Captain Maul was with me on Skype asking me what was going on as he continued playing the game and even telling the players what happened.

As a result I got a Leaver Buster message even though it was the Client that hindered me from rejoining the match. I tried so hard to reconnect for the entire game but your Client would not let me get back into the game. I do not wish to have a bad League reputation just because the Client is bugged. Please fix it.

Even as we speak, after I managed to get back into League, I have messages of "Sorry, we're unable to load this content right now" and "Unable to connect to chat, you may reconnect manually." Even after logging in and the client having given me the Leaver Buster message, the rest of the client will still not work. Something is not right.

Lately I have also noticed that your client is having issues with connecting to the Store page. There are multiple issues to be fixed, and I hope these issues will be addressed soon. Thank you.

Seems like there's big issues with the servers today. I haven't been able to login for the past 6 hours due to "Connection Failure" when trying to login. Tried on my home network and my LTE and doesn't work.

The best fix I've found while encountering errors with the client like these is to flush your DNS Cache and make sure you're running as administrator. (Not by right clicking and selecting run as admin but rather executing the admin launcher in your LoL directory.)

To flush your DNS Cache open Command Prompt and type;

ipconfig /flushdns

See if this helps at all.
