Some Bugs that i have found and tried to isolate.

Since the previous patch i have noticed how their has been a plethora of bugs that really affected the game in a drastic way.

Bug # 1 I've noticed how sometimes when you try and connect to a game and you click on accept to join a game. you would sometimes not join the champion select que at all and be stuck stranded unable to even join a new game.

Temporary fix: you would need to go back and try to join any other lobby numerous times, you will eventually join the game with some delay and with some problems in the hud display but you'll be able to play

Bug #1 Sometimes when you join a game you'd experience game delay or feel like your game is lagging but when you check your connection speed and ping our not lagging. Other problems in the same field is that you after a while would get an "attempting to reconnect" warning that wont go away unless you quit the game and reconnect trough the main client; some people can't even reconnect at all unfortunately with no loss forgiveness or retribution for any wins or losses with this bug in the system. This problem seemed to appear right after the 4.17 patch was implemented and does not affect the total public but still a great mass of people. Even after patching and re-installing the game it does nothing but i do notice some things that triggers it.

  • opening the in-game shop
  • Vi vi's vaultbreacker
  • Azir azir's existance with his skin on
  • joining a game (not joking sometimes i join a game and just start off with the delays without opening the shop or anything)

Temporary fixes:

  • Re-installing
  • repairing client These fixes only helps out with 2-4 games before the affect shows themselves again. some people don't even get the two games and it straight continues.

I've been getting the failure in joining champ select for several patches now, I've only been playing ARAMs so I at least get a champ, but I can't see who I got or trade/reroll/switch runes and masteries. I'll usually have no issue on my first queue, second time onward it'll bug, I can't play alone anymore because of this. It hasn't happened to my fiance (who I usually play with) or any of my other friends who play.

I've been having both issues.

"Attempting to reconnect..." I cannot say with 100% certainty that the "Attempting to reconnect..." issue is Riot's side or my own. However, it does happen with enough frequency since the latest patch(es?) that it's fairly plausible it's a bug.

For comparison's sake, I might play 2-6 games a day, often different games modes. Previously, 1-3 disconnections in a week is a fairly reasonable estimate. In this past week or so, I've been disconnected from 1-2 games most days (let's say... 5-8 games a week). As for the reasons or causes behind it, however, I don't have any ideas.

Failing to join Champion Select The failure to join Champion Select bug happens to me randomly, though as a rough estimate, it seems to happen.. 25-40% of the time. When it does happen, it usually means I have to "requeue" multiple times (4-7 times or more) just so I can "force" the client to realize I'm actually already in Champion Select. It's especially frustrating when I'm in first/banning position during a Ranked Champion Select. Usually means I end up missing a ban and angering my teammates in the process.I can occasionally return before the first ban countdown, but it's only if I'm lucky.

I'll list the steps I go through when this bug occurs.

  1. Queue for any game mode, then accept to join when the pop-up appears. 1a. If client returns to Home screen, continue to Step 1b. Otherwise, repeat Step 1. 1b. Check to see if the queue wait time at the top of the client has disappeared and the orange "Play" button has returned. See if any Champion Select pop-up bubbles have appeared (such as the "Dodging Ranked will incur LP Penalties" bubble), and listen for any Champion Select audio to be playing (music and/or sound effects). --This step is primarily to ensure you are, in fact, in Champion Select and that no one happened to decline the queue and send you back to the waiting in the queue.-- If the bug is confirmed to have happened, progress to Step 2.
  2. Click the orange "Play" button at the top of the client Home screen, then proceed to join any game mode (same mode or different, it does not matter), then wait for a pop-up to state (not the exact phrasing) that you cannot join a queue because you are already in a game/group. The client will return to the Home screen.
  3. Repeat Step 2 until the client reaches the Champion Select screen.

I'll try to get some screenshots the next time it happens and add them here.
