Buggy champ select won't let me ban/pick champions.

I don't know why this happens but it happens a decent amount. normally the timer for people to ban or select a champ will count down to zero and instead of restarting the queue it stays at zero and I have to stare at champ select until it times out and i'm booted for not banning or choosing a champion in champ select. i wouldn't care that much but leaver buster thinks i'm just dodging queues and it will give me a temporary ban on queues because the client isn't working. im taking the time to write this because i just got a 15 minute ban because the bug happened two times in a row as i tried queueing for ranked. [quick update it has happened again today and i got banned for 5 minutes. only seems to happen in ranked queues as well]

I am having the same problem in normal draft ques. not even ranked. tends to happen starting a match after i finish a match that i was disconnected during load. load in bug causing trouble with next games lobby? I don't know.. :(. very disappointing to watch your timers run down without being allowed to pick a champion, for yourself or to ban. :( someone told me its to do with my comp, and not anything to do with riot stuff. Guess I am to just use legacy client. i dunno, seems unresolved

I'm also having the same problem it keeps me at 25 seconds and then it goes to seven and then I get kicked I have a thirteen-minute leaver buster and that is how I am writing this.

The same thing keeps happening to me, I lost over 50lp points for just Que lagging and force dodging for me.

Happens to me all the time, can you please let me know if there is a fix for this? I have been forced to drop probably 10+ ranked games because of this client lag glitch, then get a 5 minute ban.

Having the same issue, me and my friend both have this issue so much that we have stopped playing completely until riot at least addresses this issue. I have spent $800 and 53 days of gameplay and riot games continues to disappoint me, this new client has caused nothing but issues and regardless of all these paying players who have this issue for over a year, there has been no fix let alone even addressed. This specific bug is evident on both the legacy and updated client, but we've been having issues since updating.
