[CLIENT][GAMEPLAY] Masteries/Runes/Summoner Spells being automatically changed by Client

Hi. While playing ranked I played two matches with about a half hour between them. http://i.imgur.com/eaDLlw6.png

That's match history.

First match: http://i.imgur.com/AqksYEv.jpg Second match: http://i.imgur.com/KkSTaen.jpg

As you can see, Smite was picked in place of ignite for the second match. I do believe in game my runes and masteries were changed to my AD runes and masteries as well since I had practically no AP early-game.

During champ select for the first game it was pointed out to me by a teammate that I had smite on, so with about 5 seconds left on the counter I changed to ignite, and also changed my runes/masteries to my Mid/AP sets. That game went fine.

The second game had ignite, and AP runes/masteries on champ select, but apon loading into the game I had smite.

The client must have changed things over for some reason during loading for the second match. I swear I didn't change them myself, since I was alttabbed out anyway.

Please try to fix this, it cost us the game since I fed pretty hard and was useless.

PS: inb4 someone bitches about my build/kdr/champs/some rubbish. PSS: Why can Leblanc still nuke 50% of someones hp from half way across the map? I thought the mage update was supposed to make mages more balanced, not leave OP champs still OP (arguably buffing said champs, since I have to build Supp items as Ahri just to be able to play now. Been maining her for 5 years and she's never been balanced the entire time).

This happened to me quite a bit when new champ select was brought in. You would load into a game lobby, it would have the runes/masteries you already wanted so you didn't change them, get into game and have some other random choice of runes/masteries.

I could easily tell because I only have a couple of rune pages and when it happened it switched to masteries that had a keystone I knew I shouldn't have.

My guess is that new champ select has problems around displaying and remembering the pages you used from previous games, the trouble is it happened so inconsistently I could never really get a handle on it and most people just "lol noob forgot to change them".

Best advice I can give is to get into the habit of changing your runes and masteries every lobby even if you don't need to. If you want A and it's showing A already, still change from A to B back to A. It works for me.

Can't give any advice on summoner spells. I've never run into that but when the rest was happening regularly, I was playing fill so I changed my summs for most games already, might have been accidentally protecting myself ;)

Yeah I'll have to get into the habit of doing that. I'm pretty sure that smite game ended up getting me reported by one of the team members (wont say who for name/shame purposes), despite the fact I explained to him what happened about 3 times. Pretty sure I was on ignore, or he's just stupid, or thought I was lying.

I always do stuff in the background with with the exception of banning/picking/playing I tend to not bother much with the client, I'm usually working/reading/watching something in the background. Might have to start paying attention.

I still wanted to report it though since it cost us the game, and is something that shouldn't happen. I was just starting to climb back in elo as well after plummeting all the way to Br5 0 LP thanks to the usual charade of Bronze/Silver players.

Oh definitely report it. Just because there is a work around does not mean that there is no bug or design issue with new champ select.
