It wouldn't open. Restarted my computer. Still wouldn't open. Deleted the launcher folder. Wouldn't open. Deleted downloads folder, restarted, launched as admin. Wouldn't open. Tried uninstalling, but my computer said it was already uninstalled somehow and also to fuck off because I wasn't admin even though I am. Decided to manually delete everything myself. Re-downloaded, installed. Still won't open.

UPDATE 2-Minute Fix
Delete your Replays folder, restart your computer and relauch the client before attemping the fix below. It does not require a reinstallation of the game or deleting hidden files and is a solution.I can confirm that this solves the issue of the client not opening and being stuck indefinitely on the League of Legends logo. Today's 8.21 patch is the culprit.
All credit goes to Cornboss. I am just regurgitating the steps I did.
Solution:
- Uninstall League of Legends.
- Navigate to your AppData folder (e.g. C:\Users\[username]\AppData). This is normally a hidden folder so it is best to type out the address into File Explorer. Additionally you can type %appdata% into File Explorer and click Enter. It will take you to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming. From here click on AppData in the path field to get to the main folder.
- Delete any folders associated with Riot Games or League of Legends in the folders Local, LocalLow and Roaming.
- Navigate to your Documents folder then League of Legends where your Replays are stored and delete that folder. It is beneficial to delete this folder occasionally, since old replays do not work after patches and it frees up space on your disk drive. (I did not touch my Highlights folder.)
- Reinstall League of Legends.
The client will now open and patch successfully.
