I'm having the same problem

Usually what I try to do to fix this issue is to update my router's DNS server IP addresses to another set of servers. This usually fixes some of the issues that I experience not being able to log-in due to ISP related issues with whatever networking issues they have. However this did not work this time. The next method of trial is to use the "lol.launcher.admin" client, which in this case works. This unfortunately is only a temporary fix to the regular client issue, this also narrows down the issue more so.

The issue is strictly with Riot and their client to server relationship.

Since the "lol.launcher.admin" client is coded to ask for administrator privileges, amoung other things, a good way to test to see if privilege escalation is a problem with the regular "lol.launcher" client. To test it we select "Run as Administrator" on the regular client "lol.launcher" and we get the successful message of "Logging On" but it seems like the client is either stuck or looping because you never actually are able to log-in.

What's kind of funny though is that for whatever reason it has only been thirteen minutes since these threads have been posted and now the log-in issue is gone. Again the problem was strictly with Riot Games and if I were to guess it probably was a configuration issue on their servers managing Authentication server side and a problem with privilege level on client side that was resultant of that.

A note for future references is that if this type of problem happens again you can use the "lol.launcher.admin" client but you cannot rely on it forever because if the problem ever continues to be avoided and it is a client-side issue then sooner or later the problem will become noticeable with the "lol.launcher.admin" client.
