Riot, this is Pathetic.

The Client is extremely bugged. There are so many problems with this game that Riot refuses to address. The friends list not appearing bug is so common now it makes playing with friends impossible. Ranked is treated like a joke. Players are constantly dodging and all they receive is 5 minute bans. Players will be toxic and curse and feed and the punishments are minor. Treat ranked with more respect and integrity. Hold this game up to a higher standard. This is one of the most popular games in the world and Riot treats it as a joke. Fix these pathetic problems. Riot stop treating league as a joke and fix this. So embarrassing Riot.

A client of a game not working should be a MAJOR issue. Think of all the new players starting for the first time greeted with all these bugs.

Dodging Q should lose more LP so people don't do it like taking candy.

Dodging shouldnt be harshly punished, because when you get stuck with trolls, you'd wish you had dodged

Completely agree, Ragemaster19. My friends and I have had so many issues with the client as well as players dodging when their champ gets banned. I'm just looking to enjoy ranked and play without having bugsplats. Riot needs to fix the code! DrMundo

I dont think they know how to fix the friends list bug if you ask me.

To add on, I've been playing this game since 2015 and I've never seen such garbage from this game. They just had their HUGE 10th anniversary and the game is performing like trash. Constantly releasing broken champs, the buggy client, and loss of integrity in ranked. It's all a joke. I'm about to quit this game and it's so upsetting. Please fix.

Guys were just repeating ourselves with these posts everyday. Riot knows these issues more than all of us and sadly they don't care. They promised yet again a better client but we've been hearing this since the new client came out. Last year they promised a somewhat new client that will fix the issues but we all know how it went. Riots focus as a company is to make games to attract people to sell cosmetics they don't care about the quality. I'm sure they'll try to keep the newer games as pretty and bug free as possible but pc league is a mess a mess that costs money and riot really doesn't want to invest in sth that won't get money back. Good or bad client riot still makes the same amount of money. I hope I'm proven wrong but riots history proves my points.

I can't go into a game without getting a critical error has occurred well waiting for the game to load in. Have to ctrl alt delete log off and relog to play. On top of that they have abunch of nasty bugs popping up. Like yesterday Rengars ult doesn't even show a ? when he jumped me 200 years of collective experience, but none of them can fix the client thats been dying for weeks.

The dodge system is such a joke. Ima be honest, I constantly dodge and all I get are 5 min. I have never ran into a 30 min timer or anything cause if I get filled twice and I get a 15 min all I have to do is wait a few min after the timer is up and the next dodge timer I get will be a 5 min. I do this constantly when I get filled jung cause jung just aint fun no more.

Should Riot fix the code and care?

Riot? No, they sold out in 2015. Tencent Holding? Yes, they should care.

However, I don't think they know HOW to fix anything at this point.

I have been playing league since 2010 just after beta, ranked has less issues than it did back then and also if you dodge constantly you get more severe punishments than having to wait 5 mins, it goes 5 mins, 15 mins, 30 mins, an hour and each time you dodge it counts as a loss and you lose LP for it.

I could not agree more, Mr Master. This is embarrassing and should be addressed immediately. I could not even play ARURF with friends all day Thursday, because of the client issues. Sion

No, somebody should kick Rito in their overpaid butts.. I've just returned to this game and still shity as it was in season 8 and 9.

So, when all is said and done about errors in the client, how come that i don't have any issues with it? i see my friends list, no errors while loading or playing the game, the occasional dodge from some random player. could it be an installation, configuration or patch issue?

Damn dude, I rarely come here but I was searching for a fix on this issue and to me, it appears that you're kind of the "pathetic" one. Every big game out there has issues every now and then. Since they are probably already working on a solution, it may be taking longer than intended but what are your options? - of course, open a support ticket and start crying there as well where they will give you some steps that have already been mentioned - full repair, sync clock, delete folders or whatever, none of which will most likely fix it for you. So what are you left with - yes, just wait.

As of the ranked and dodging topic - let me tell you that a friend was quite toxic, got like 3 restrictions and now he's been perma banned. Also, if you can already determine what the game is going to be in the champ select, simply dodge, I don't see anything wrong with that.

The only valid point you might have is the broken champs, but hey, another thing that you can do nothing about. Either ban them or wait for a nerf. Oh, and you have quite a fitting name.

That being said, peace and let's hope that the issue will be resolved soon.
