Client keeps crashing in champ select

Look, I never dodge champ select. In the past couple days, my client has crashed 3 times resulting in loss of IP and wait times. This is crap.

Eh, I'm assuming it's something riot has to fix, third time it has happened to me and it has always been during a series. I'm not sure if there's something regarding the logs that we can do in order to speed up the process with our information.

Is there an error message when it crashes?

It's a memory leak. Make SURE you have "show offline friends" TURNED OFF. You will STILL get the memory leak but as long as you do NOT mouse over ONLINE friends, you should be ok for a few hours.

If you have it on, your client WILL Crash every half hour to every hour due to the memory leak (it has to do with the new friends overlay thing, offline friends even uses it and snowballs the memory leak!)

My Client does this aswell, it might have to do with the friendslist playstyle memory leak or something close. i lost 10 lp from this and also got issued dodge bans... Which are going to turn into longer 20 minute bans if this bug keeps messing with me... please fix or help...

I am even placed in low priority queue for 'AFK' while i couldn't even enter the loading screen so unfair now i have to wait 20 minutes to play a game but even if that time passes i will still crash and crash and crash.My problem is that right after the champions select there is just a black screen until the window popps up saying that i can't connect and that the firewall might be blocking the connection etc. so furstrating.........

Riot should revert all "abandoned" games punishments/logs/losses since this patch has been released, because this is absolutely ridiculous, constant crashes, constantly being punished for abandoning matches I didn't but can't do anything about. It crashes randomly when I try and change summoner spells, or just now when I clicked the ok button to join games, and has randomly crashed in-game. Riot you guys make over half a billion dollars a year in revenue, please hire more people for QA before releasing patches.

This is really starting to irritate me. My client has crashed 4 times in total now because of this and I've lost a series and about 40 LP on top of that. I have a video recording of it happening to me and would be fine with uploading it for a Rioter to see upon request. It sounds like the cause has already been located however(see below), so I don't think it's necessary.
