last night i was able to log into the client just fine tonight i try to log in and my login info wont work i can log into website just fine but when i put same info into the client it waits a few seconds and tells me that my login info is wrong ive also tried checking my region to see if that was incorrect but it is not and i have no problem with my firewall blocking the game

also i have no idea if this is part of the problem or not but when i open my client it says this "We have restored this installation to an older version of League of Legends. Now we'll try to patch it up to the latest version."

it said this last night as well but i was still able to log in

if i could get some help with this it would be amazing

Same here, just lost a ranked game because I couldn't login for 15 minutes straight.

I got the "We have restored this installation to an older version of League of Legends. Now we'll try to patch it up to the latest version." message as well. I then couldn't login to my account. I clicked on the link to reset my password, and after that, I tried resetting my password to the one I had before, whereupon the site told me my new password had to be different from my old one, which clearly meant that my password was being typed in correctly.

I let the patcher sit for a few minutes, and it restarted itself to update. After that, I could login just fine. However, this bug delayed me for 15 minutes and lost me a ranked game.

I got this bug and had 2 friends get it the exact same way. This is how we got it:

Start Ranked Flex game.
When the game is on the loading screen, quit the game. At this point, the client says game is in progress, but has no "Reconnect" button.
Restart client. Get the error msg OP mentioned. When trying to log in, you receive the "login and password don't match" message.

The way I fixed it was running a client repair from the Client Login Page in the Settings menu + restarting my computer. Fair warning: repairing the client takes a while, it took me ~20min.

Edit: Things that didn't work: resetting password, restarting computer w/o repairing

I have the same problem right now. I was in the loading screen of a game - the game crashed and now I cannot log in. The message is the same: "We have restored this installation to an older version of League of Legends. Now we'll try to patch it up to the latest version." When I try to log in the client immediately just said that my acc or pass are wrong...

I swear to fucking god, this just happened to me. In the middle of a ranked game as well. Why the fuck do I drop so much money in RP to get fucked in the ass. Not only do I have to reset my password 5 times, but when I finally reconnect I get hit with a leave buster message for 5 minutes?
