Stop punishing me for your broken client.

Before I begin, let me say that this is not an issue with my computer. Everything Else runs fine. Now, when I bug splat or dc after the draft, the client allows me to reconnect to the game. But when I Dc DURING a draft, I'm not allowed to reconnect to the lobby and I get a penalty. Riot, if you do not want to fix your client, at least give me the ability to reconnect to the draft after I reload. I'm tired of getting bans when I've done nothing wrong. Thank you.

They are making a new client for a reason.

Either it's installed improperly on your PC or something with it is messing up the client. I had the same issue with my laptop a year ago, but that laptop was on its last legs. Try repairing the client, and if that doesn't work you could uninstall it completely and install it fresh.

Did you do a support ticket listing your hardware?

Client hasn't crashed for me in probably 2 years when it use to happen weekly in season 1.

Bug splats are issues on your end, not riots. it's something with your graphics card.

This is honestly the most frustrating part of this game... Me, and a few friends, have all had client crashes these past few patches... Reinstalling has not helped so please don't suggest reinstalling... http://imgur.com/mtTsVpQ <<< This is why I don't want to even attempt to play ranked... This isn't from me dodging a game at my own will... This is from me getting kicked out in the middle of a draft... Prioritize a client fix over a fucking warwick rework...

Is their client, is realy annoying, specially that one when in the loading screen just stays there, no error message nothing. by the time you notice the client is bugged you already got the penalty for 5 minutes afk.

A rioter fixed this problem for me. I forget the link, but its in their support area somewhere. Basically you need to turn off windows firewall and a lot more, thats all i remember.

Just got an error after loading into lobby, "lolclient.exe has stopped working", got a 20min timer. I had previously left a lobby, but 20min for something that wasn't my fault, c'mon.

Client has never crashed for me since I started playing, up until about 2-3 patches ago. Since then it's crashed twice and my computer is definitely not at fault.

Agreed, trash company = trash client. Cant expect them to mitigate their clients issues if they dont care about the product they supply.
