Stuck in spectating mode.

I exited out of a spectating my friend's game and found my status still in spectating mode. Most of the UI is blacked out and can't be clicked on. I restarted the game a few time and it didn't resolve the problem.

Fixed this issue for myself, wasn't expecting staffing help. Go into your League folder C:\Games\League of legends\config

When you're in there, delete the fil: LeagueClientSettings.YAML That will solve your problems.

I am very excited to tell you that I have tried countless ways to fix this problem. Finally after uninstalling and re-downloading, the problem is solved. I hope I can help you.

I did it, and now when I try to enter, it starts to repair and after some minutes it says "Repair Failed" and I can´t enter in the game. Can anyone help me please?

Had the same issue on Mac OS, however deleting the .yaml file didn't work for me. Had to re-install the League client to get it working

Hi guys!

If the fix that has already been posted does not fix the issue for you (it didn't for me) but thank you. I had to force close the client through task manager it will then bring up a black screen for a second and eventually you will get the option to reconnect to the spectating or just QUIT which will bring you back to the client you are looking for :D
