[client bug?] 35 minutes to get in a game

Today it took me 35 minutes to get into a game, part of this may be due to a client bug? Are any of you other guys having this issue? It went like this:

started queue, 7 minute wait game was found after everyone else picked and locked their champs my client froze, i never had the option to select my champ, and was booted for it 5 and a half minute low priority queue (thanks..) another 5 minute wait, returned to lobby for "failing to pass the afk check" another 5 minute wait, returned to lobby for failing to pass the afk check (it just wasn't popping up) another 6 minute wait, got in a game, most people chose their champions, someone dodged. another 8 minutes in queue, returned to lobby for failing afk check went blind pick, 30 seconds later was in a game.

Is anyone else having an issue with the afk check (aka the pop-up that says "match found" and you need to click accept), or is anyone else having an issue with the client freezing before they can select their champ? (i was last pick, the guy before me on opposite team picked his champ, the timer went to 0 and got stuck there, never let me chose my champ and i was booted)? This was my first time trying the new dynamic queue and so far i really miss team builder if it's going to be like this....

EDIT: also, i couldn't close the client using the "x" on the top right. Clicking it did nothing, i had to alt+space+c to close..

EDIT 2: sorry for re-post, apparently gameplay isn't the right spot to post about the game client.
