http://puu.sh/EBz0K/037a71564f.jpg i cant click play

can't sign into support either, produces an error as well

other things are, black icon, black ui when logged in to the client, "unexpected" errors when trying to start a match, errors when hextech crafting, failure to create a lobby etc..

I cant play the game after the maintenance.

is this happening for others too? haven't seen other posts on it i dont think.

Riot better give out some free Worlds Tokens to people who paid for the pass lmao. There's been a good 4 to 5 days during this pass that the game has just been completely fucked and unplayable.

Riot needs to be more active in responding to the player base on what is happening, the server status has said online now for nearly 2 hours but the game remains unplayable and they are giving us no updates its plain rude to do this and not help us stay informed

Edit: the longer they stay inactive and dont respond the worse this is getting for our perception of them, like if this wasnt the internet we would essentially be a mob at this point due to the lack of response

Still no word from Riot...thats cool, thanks for putting all your effort into new crap instead... Meanwhile, we all sit here and watch the time go by that we could've been getting our worlds tokens.

yep its broken, in my case, if i try and queue up it explodes and doesnt get past the accept/decline

Rezlac11/6/2019, 10:01:59 PM9 votes

Play a game of TFT and win, client works fine until I try to queue into another game where I get a never ending accept screen. Restart my computer because I can't get the client to close otherwise. Come back to the client being all black. Try using hextech repair tool, doesn't work. Try uninstalling the game which it won't uninstall. Try reinstalling the game which doesn't work either. I'm at a complete loss now. Game says it is only 148mb. Remove all files on my computer for riot games. Attempt reinstall and now works... To be continued.

Continued: Wiping doesn't actually fix it. Neat. So it's an issue on their end(?). I'm more surprised at how much this client acts like a virus then anything else.

Sukishoo11/6/2019, 9:45:15 PM8 votes

Yup, was just in and then everything blacked out.. woo.

LeafieGreens211/6/2019, 9:44:12 PM8 votes

I was able to play one game of the new TFT.

Then I went to play a ranked match of Summoners Rift and sat in queue for 10+ minutes.

Then I exited the client, relogged, and now everything is messed up.

No UI - also black. The little blue circle just keeps spinning endlessly on my screen.

My champion list is blank. My summoner icon is blank. I can't click anything, can't play, can't click loot etc...

Everything is messed up.

This has 3k views but only 94 upvotes, everybody needs to upvote this post. riot needs to be brought the fact that we are very unhappy with them and how they are handling this

Sèvèn11/6/2019, 9:57:44 PM7 votes

I got the black screen of doom as well...

Gntex11/6/2019, 10:43:25 PM7 votes

Jesus! Riot, please fix the damn game. The season is ending and people want to climb, but it feels like every other day something is wrong with the damn game. GET IT FIXED!!!

ThaHardR11/6/2019, 11:24:43 PM7 votes

Since your client obviously isn't working, how about updating it in server status so us that have sat here for the last two hours don't keep trying to open then client every 2 minutes to see if it is actually working or not. so freakin unprofessional riot

Teirisias11/6/2019, 11:31:29 PM7 votes

I feel like as we hit the two hour mark part of the reason server status being left "online" is because there's not going to be any compensation. They're just going to not update it, update it as fixed, then say "we're sorry to those who were affected by this".

It's honestly kind of disrespectful that they'd not just mark it as down to at least acknowledge this issue, instead of acting like this is some thing that's affecting only a few individuals.

Elimancer11/6/2019, 11:59:23 PM6 votes

I like how the Service Status page shows everything is online.

Game: Online Client: Online Store: Online Website: Online

Hey Riot, maybe this is the problem, you don't acknowledge your game is broken, buggy, and inconsistent. But go a head and come out with more ways to make money, don't fix the problems.

Finally got in, but not able to start any matches for any queue. Comes up with players not ready, but only includes myself. Each queue says the same.

Team got stuck at 0 at lock in phase and now entire client crashing

"Ranked queues are temporarily disabled while we investigate an issue that's negatively impacting games." - -Riot 18min ago. Weird way of saying the client has been fucked for hours and still no one can play. Meanwhile it says the servers have been online the whole time

Not the best way to handle this, guys

"The login queue is experiencing heavy traffic. Try again later or check the server status here."

Clap clap well done riot you sure killed your client I wounder what the next patch will be [slayer-jinx-unamused]

TharealTonyDanza11/6/2019, 11:29:23 PM4 votes

I think the community needs to rise up and stop buying skins for awhile... COME ON GUYS no world skin purchases after finals, how many years do you need to get a client right Riot. Until we can get a patch or two without a bunch of errors. budget cut the client design department a tad maybe

SM00VEM0VES11/6/2019, 11:54:14 PM4 votes

League of Legends was actually unplayable for 9hrs today if you add them up, the maintenance, the logins, the ranked. WHAT IS THIS MAN! i only got ONE DAY OFF!

PrincexXxLestat11/7/2019, 12:03:24 AM4 votes

So my question is when are they going to roll back the patch that broke the game so we can continue to play while they get their shit together and do there jobs
