"1. Improving the time it takes to start up the client and to return from the game. (Changes here will be noticeable primarily on lower-performance systems.) You might have seen that we’ve already shipped some enhancements in this area with a recent patch, and we’re on the lookout for additional room to improve."

​(1) No issues.

"2. Fixing crashes and bugs, particularly those impacting flow into the game, thereby resulting in unintentional dodges"

(2.1) Windows Safe Mode causes unintentional dodges. Detect if the Windows OS is booted in Safe Mode, and if League can't run in Safe Mode, Prevent joining any lobbies or pressing the Play Button.

(2.2) Being forced to mute all audio causes unintentional dodges. Every mouse click currently makes a sound & the only way to mute it is to mute alerts. For the out of game client, split Audio Volume into Categories of "Alerts", "Effects", "Music". If there is an effect that brings the client window to the front of all windows, then it's Sound Effect is an "Alert" (ie found match, your turn to pick ban/champ), We should be able to adjust the volume of these alerts separately from annoying useless sound effects.

(2.3) I do not know if this is still an issue, but you should be able to block Internet Explorer from getting online (bad proxy, have an antivirus block it) without blocking your out of game client from accessing the champion buy store.

"3. Reducing lag for the client, which disproportionately affects lower-performing systems. Cutting down on the amount of system resources that the client requires is likely to be a byproduct of this work."

(3) All graphics for your embedded webpage store should be stored locally and instantly load. Seriously, why does going to buy a champ load like a 90s AOL dialup connection. It can and should load instantly like the in game item buy does. Seriously your menu bar at the top, disappears and reappears each time you change pages. Use iframes if you have to, but menu bars should not flicker/disappear.
