[Crash]Shift Tilde Key freezes game until pressed again

I've recently experienced this very odd bug where I press shift tilde, and my game completely freezes until pressed again. It's a very simple step to get to this, but it is very annoying, as I have shift tilde for a mute bind on discord. Steps:

  1. Get into a game of league of legends
  2. Press Shift+Tilde on your keyboard
  3. Game should freeze, hit same buttons again to unfreeze

I have talked to some friends and it happened to 3/4 of them and works everytime I press it. If you right click again after the screen freezes, the game looks as if it goes back to normal, but you have to tab out and back in again to be able to control your champion.

Fixed: Apparently, there was another discord bind conflicting with a current one, which just started happening recently. Credit goes to Noodaru!

Sooo, I was googling a similar issue for quite a while and came upon this thread, though it was because I was having issues in FFXIV with shift + , Haven't played LoL for years. Anyway, I eventually fixed this for my situation. Are all of you guys running Discord? **The issue in my case was that the Discord overlay is by default bound to shift + , try changing this keybind or disabling the overlay in Discord under 'Settings' -> 'Overlay'. ** Let me know if this helped any of you guys, it was driving me crazy.

Same here, It happens when i play other games too, such as WoW and Garys mod. not sure if its something to do with the Shift+Tilde Command but its extremely annoying.

If anyone figures out the cause and fix for this please please repost

This started happening to me as well.. i had to rebind left shift to right shift for it to not freeze when I hit shift.
