Terms of use are in Japanese

I can't really accept the terms of use as they're in Japanese... could get a friend to translate but that seems excessive.

my steps to get to this odd state:

  1. account recovery (had forgotten since last use ~3 years ago)
  2. download and run installer
  3. get a nice familiar animated/musical launcher with familiar L icon
  4. log in
  5. get a nice familiar "game is downloading" notice at upper right...
  6. accidentally close the application when step 5's notice is around 30%
  7. attempt to re-open launcher
  8. get unfamiliar non-animated/non-musical launcher with riot fist icon
  9. at lower left, V1.9.0 (nice semver, yall rock); at upper left, locale setting NA (EN); at upper right, behind gear glyph for settings, game language setting English
  10. attempt login
  11. modal TOU is in Japanese; decline closes the application

note: blew away this seemingly borked install and retried....

outer TOUs were still Japanese, but after accepting, I got a second round of TOUs that were english.... seems real weird....

Also, I neither script, nor smurf, nor recall changing my name to Script or Smurf.... is that an inactivity thing that happened automatically? I thought my game name was like.... propast or something like that...
