Black Screen

So going into the loading screen, it was pitch black so I figured I had dc'd but apparently I was still loading in game and the game started since I heard the anouncer and all of that stuff. So I had tried to esc/alt esc /etc and it wouldn't let me exit out the game to go back into see the screen. So everyone voted for a remake and I lost 21 lp bc of this and it's no point in shutting down and retrying bc the remake window is 3 mins and my cpu can't doesn't have the necessary speed to start up the client so yeah I just letting you know. And plus can I at least redeem my lp too, for the past couple of patches I've been dealing with black loading screens going in que, making me lose lp bc of huge delays and all of that stuff and I would let that slide but for what happened today I can't really let this go

I was playing ranked and i got a black screen for a draft lobby. this has happened almost daily and started once i switched to your new launcher. I'm tired of getting penalized for your clients performance. here is a link to photo bucket to see a photo. http://i1146.photobucket.com/albums/o538/fultonbrian913madoodad/black%20screen_zpsyhxax7gu.jpg?t=1488474790

Tried to duo in SoloQ and my partner ended up getting the black screen of death and was forced to dodge because he was not able to see anything during ban phase. We both restarted our clients and the black screen of death then happened to me which caused me to dodge during ban phase. Restarted my client once again and black screen of death still happened. Lost 20 LP just from that, hopefully they can fix this issue asap but right now I would stay away from queing if you're getting this issue.

The plague is spreading!

I've developed a theory that it MIGHT have something to do with friend requests or messages that haven't been resolved when champ select begins?

I've gotten this bug, and it only happens once every 4 games. This needs to be fixed

I got the same thing. I'm 1-1 in series and I lost 10 lp both times i got the black screen, but it hasn't counted as a loss. I'm queue blocked for 30 minutes for something I have no control over. I've gotten nothing but problems out of this new client. Not to mention item sets still aren't a thing.

The boards is flooded with reports of this... the least Riot could do is acknowledge that it's a real problem by mentioning it in the ( ! ) issue notifier thing.

Go into your friends list. In the options select "group by offline" and "group by mobile" Make sure both new groups are minimized before queuing up. Should solve the problem until Riot can solve it on their end.

Seconded, although I simply get kicked out of queue over and over; whatever they were trying to accomplish by making a new client when this is what we get is beyond me. Yes, I read all the flowery blubbergush, but fact is the game hates the new client and the smallest tweak seems to have the potential to make it all unplayable! From day one, it's been inferior in any and all ways from what we had before.

Hate to rant but this really just came to a head for me.

So, I wanted to play a game. Yesterday I couldn't play any ranked game due to an issue that stopped every lol player from playing any ranked game (something from the server). Today I wanted to play ranked but when i wanted to select the role, there was just a black window with only that little icon on the top side where it writes "arranging team". Same with normal games. I was waiting in the queue, accepting the match and then, in the champion select, there was only a black window. I had problems with the beta client. I had to reinstall league of legends. Now I am on the old client, but now there's the new problem with selecting the role and the champion.
