Bug crash when entering champ select

Bug seems to occur upon consectutive games, not sure if there's really a pattern but generally not the first game whilst client is open

Happened on my 3rd game today, which unfortunately counted as a promo loss.

I'd provide steps to reproduce but can't be certain:

  1. Played two ranked games
  2. Queued up for 3rd game with play again button
  3. Started Queue
  4. Accepted Match, hear background sounds of entering champion select but stuck on mostly blank screen with accept/decline buttons present

Encounter this issue atleast once a fortnight but am not a heavy player, i.e. only can play a match or two a night, so generally only occurs on weekends when multiple games get played.

What can be done?

Perhaps the solution is not clear, I'm wondering if we can possibly get an update on whether Riot has been able to detect when this occurs, as looking around the support/bug report I can see I am far from the only player to expierence it.

If there is no solution but we are able to detect when it occurs, perhaps look into removing the queue dodge punishments as that is the most frustrating part of the expierence, esp. when it's a promo games so it feels much worse than -3lp.

Cheers.

Got the same bug and received a timer- no Rioter response. Honestly, nothing you can really do to avoid this bug until Riot fixes it. Not entirely sure when they'll get to it though, some bugs stick around for multiple patches and Riot is known for not communicating well with their playerbase.
