[CLIENT] Patcher Client unresponsive 50%+ of the time, requiring a relaunch

The patcher client appears to be having an issue right now where sometimes after the application will launch, it will simply be dead and unresponsive. The mouse cursor will change to indicate that it is hovering over something that can be clicked while over any part of the launch client window but no UI elements will respond, even with their mouse-over animations. Each time the client boots up unresponsive, several UI elements seemingly at random will not load. Exiting the client does not work - it has to be quit by right-clicking the application icon in the dock and hitting QUIT or, sometimes, demanding a force-quit. This appears to be happening approximately every other boot-up, with increased frequency right after booting up the computer as a whole. Quitting the application and then trying to launch it again seems to work, but opening the application later may result in it being unresponsive once again. Finally, when the client was updating to the most recent patch (which was the first time I noticed this issue), the application became unresponsive SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW (6-7) with various parts of the UI missing before it finally loaded all the way and started downloading the patch.

None of these issues affect the actual League of Legends client... but getting through the Patcher client to the actual game client is the struggle.

I am currently running a macbook pro with OS X Mavericks installed. This issue started right after booting up the patcher client to update to 4.21

I've been having a similar problem with my mac. The launcher comes up but is unresponsive. For me, though, restarting doesn't seem to work at all. Instead, I've found that sometimes if I click the launch button right as the client comes up, but before anything other than the launch button loads, then I can get in. But if I wait more than a split second, nothing on the client works. Some things won't load or will take an excessive amount of time to, and none of the links work even though mousing over them gives me the correct indicator. That also includes the exit and minimize buttons, so I have to force quit. And again, clicking the launch button early doesn't always work, it's just the only thing I've found with the possibility of working, so getting into game can be frustrating. I'm on a macbook pro with OSX Mavericks 10.9.5

Just recently I have been trying to get into the game past the patch launcher since the 4.20 update But it kept having issues and I tried reinstalling it but it wont even do that, it get to like 80% and freezes. My Adobe air is up to date and Ive uninstalled the game multiple times but I cant seem to get it to fully download. When I click on the area around the step 1/2... It acts as if its clicking the launch button and even makes the sound effect, I can click to view the patch notes and the free champs to play this week but other then that it wont fully upload.
