Riot Please Fix Your Client.

It's a laggy mess that is harder to run than the game itself. Especially with the launch of TFT, this insanely un-optimized client will make everyone frustrated and I don't imagine having a client like this will attract any new players, and will probably put off old players as well. The point of a client is to let players play the game, not to lag so much that you end up spending more time waiting for the client lagging than playing league. People really need to start bumping this so Riot will finally do something about the client. There's no point in putting out a new game if people can't play it because your client doesn't work. Here are some reasons why fixing the client should be a top priority:

1. People's first impression of league will be when they open the client. when they launch and find themselves with a laggy, freezing client it decreases the chance they will come back to the game. With the release of TFT, I assume Riot is trying to attract new players along with the old fanbase. If I wasn't already a league of legends player and needed to download the league client just to play TFT (as many people downloaded Dota 2 just to play Dota Autochess), I definitely think I would be put off the game and not want to come back.

2. The client is the "epicenter" of the franchise. Either way eventually the issues with the client will need to be fixed because everyone wanting to play a Riot game will need to first use the client. The issues will only get worse with more and more additions to the client if Riot ignores the problem. It will become more difficult to clean up the code.

3. I'm sure many people would prefer a working, optimized client rather than a laggy, over-animated sluggish client.

Something has to be wrong with the code behind the client for it to somehow run SLOWER than the game itself. Really needs to be fixed, and Riot needs to see this and understand how important the issue is to its game.
