i was in diamond promos and now im in plat 4 as well. as if matchmaking in promos wasnt bad enough, the stupid game crash bug doesnt ket you tab out, and if you arent paying attention you dont even realise you crashed. also, im pretty sure that if you dont restart pc and say there, ur team cant remake cuz u didnt disconnect

I actually found a way without force shutting my computer. It's dumb and Riot needs to fix client but, when it freezes and you can't tab out do this.

Alt+tab (you will tab out but client will not minimize) Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete (to open task manager, you won't be able to bring it up but it'll be there)

Press Windows key (to pop up task bar)

Hover mouse over task manager (dont click it)

Task manager will display so you can read it but if you click it it will disappear, count where league of legends is on the list of running programs

Tab to task manager (you'll be doing this blind) and press down arrow the number of times that matches what place league of legends was on the list (E.G. if it was 2nd on list, tap down arrow twice)

Hit delete key. League should close and you'll be able to re login. With practice, no one will even know you crashed.

Edit: i didnt mean to reply to a comment. Meant to post my own

If you have a second monitor you can keep task manager minimized on the second screen, your main screen will still be frozen but you can still move your mouse over and scroll through task manager by alt tabbing

If you are playing on a windows 10 machine, you don't need to restart your PC. Here is a workaround if your loading screen freezes.

Step 1. Make sure Task Manager is not running at the moment. You can do this by hitting the windows button and closing it via right click, in case it is open right now.

Step 2. Make sure you are tabbed into the game. What I mean by that is, when you try to tab out, Windows recognizes it, but League doesn't care. Make sure you hold alt after pressing tab and reassure that you are in the game client, perhaps even with a mouse click.

Step 3: Click the windows key on your keyboard.

Step 4. Press this button next to the search bar: https://imgur.com/a/b1Iafwi

It's called "active apps" or "create new desktop", anything that allows you to "create a new desktop" is the right option (should be at the top of the screen after you click that button)

Step 5. Now that you clicked this button, windows will have redirected you to this desktop. Open the Task Manager here. AND LET IT LOAD FOR A MOMENT(!)

Step 6. Kill the League of Legends process by either clicking it and pressing "Kill task" or something similar on the bottom right, or rightclicking it and selecting whatever kills the task in the context menu that shows up.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT CLOSE THE LEAGUE CLIENT (Has the new league Logo, the circular one). MAKE SURE YOU CLOSE THE GAME CLIENT (Square, old Logo).

Then Rito games should automatically redirect you to the client prompting you to reconnect. If you notice immediately that your loading screen froze, getting back into the game, with an average PC will take you 30 secs to a minute instead of getting the remake thrown at you.

Out of curiosity what are your computer specifications.

Happened to me a couple weeks ago. I was on my promos and needed one more win. I ended up losing my promos because of the loading screen freeze. I haven't played ranked since.

Literally just happened to me. By the time I reconnected riven was level 5 with about 40 cs and roamed and got a kill so at that point there was nothing I could do. Can't wait until riot actually fixes the client because it's been happening too often for me and others in my games as well.

I'm just wondering why you kept on getting into games knowing that it might crash.

I had this happen last night and I thought it was my computer but clearly it's happening to other people as well
