This is still an issue riot... pls get it fixed asap. Or at the very least show us the decency and let us know that you are looking into the issue. I have been blocked out of 3 out of 6 games today, leaving me with a total of -23 lp and 65 min of wait time. Two of the other games the client refused to start the game after champ select so i had to restart the client and reconnect.
I dont really care about the loss of lp, but the fact that i cant requeue and probably end up logged as a "dodger" with everything it brings wiht is immensely annoying and frustrating. Especially since there are no guidelines of how to locally fix this issue nor that its even being worked on. So at the very least im asking you to respond and acknowledge the issue so we all dont have to sit and roll our thumbs hoping you know about this.
Im using the mac client on El Capitan 10.11.4. I repaired the client today, and it went from having this issue from time to time sporadically to what i described above (an issue with the client nearly every single game).
The issues started when you implemented the new champ selection, and the symptoms are the same as most of the others in this ticket. Chat works, but when timer reaches 0 (differs from time to time when during the champ-select it happens - sometimes during banned, sometimes during picks, and sometimes after all picks are done. And there is no correlation between which team is picking and the freeze/crash/bug).
If you need anything from my end to try and solve this, all you have to do is ask.
thanx

Edit: running client patch 0.44.0.161 (as stated it has been going on for a while, but got more frequent after I repaired it today)
