Client bug showing friends false game lengths.

When I'm in game, and alt+tab to the client to check my friends who are playing games it shows improper time values of how long they played. And this lasts even after I start to queue for my next game. For example: I was playing a game and checked my friend's game, said they were 60 minutes into a ranked game, shortly after my game ends and I check and they are still in a 60+ minute game...then while I was in champ select for the next game I check them again and they are 26 minutes into a different game than the one shown previously because it's normal draft instead of ranked now. This is completely impossible based on what the client told me.

Does anyone else experience this?

I want to partially explain this again because I feel like I'm losing my mind...I wanted to play a game with them, and they were 60+ minutes into a game, I waited a couple mins, gave up, and started a game, and in champ select lobby I highlight over their name in the client and now they are 26 minutes into their next game, despite my checking their game status a few minutes before that. WHAT IS HAPPENING?

This has been bugged for at least two years.

Additional thoughts: Is this some emergency 'fix' to the client where it doesn't show game times properly for whatever reason? Not a huge deal, but definitely found myself completely surprised and confused a whole bunch of times after weeks now.

I might be wrong, but really at this point this client needs to be reworked properly. This is easily reproduced, because I experience it literally every day for weeks now, but now that it's starting to get annoying I'm making a post here. Does anyone else experience this??
