Game Crashes after Champ Select. + Massive lag spikes...? Reds Please read... Highly confused.

I don't know why this game has gone to its buggy state its currently in, however i really would like to know if there is at least a fix to what is going on.. i have constantly been getting a bug splat every other 3 games directly after champion select..

~Is this going to get fixed anytime soon, or am i going to have to call it for a while with league?...

my friends i play with also have this same issue for really no reason. we all have beast computers, all of us have really stable internet connections (3 of us on 50mb+ connections..) and yet we still get this ridiculous ping lag out of no where... and then we either die or cant connect back to the game with out a full system restart.

I am just really confused as to why Live Maintenance is actually still a thing.. it causes so many game problems its not even fun to play with the constant lag spikes and game having packet loss issues...
