Just fixed the Critical Error bug

For those of you that have been getting the "critical error" message upon completion of champion select, I just realized that there was a League client background process that was stuck running even after closing the game. All I had to do was force-close it and then re-open the league client. I have no idea if this will work for other people but it fixed me up right quick.

It took me 2 days to realize it was still open as a background process. I am not a smart man.

Edit: Realize it might not work for everybody but it is worth noting that this process somehow continued to run through multiple reboots and reinstalls

I literally restart my computer and queue up for a TFT normal (since that's less punishing) and I still immediate-crash upon trying to load the playable game.

There is only one League client background process, and closing it closes league entirely. This "fix" does nothing.

Tried... but I do not have the client running in the background when I close the game. I just tried to open a practice session, but that won't work either.
