slight connection issues since hextech crafting

i believe i am not the only one having issues with league ever since hextech crafting was released yesterday. also the title is a bit misleading because it isnt limited to connection issues, it is also sync issues a few small graphical glitches(these may be unrelated but still only happened since the update).

connection/sync issues. ive seen a few other posts about being kicked out of a lobby back to queue, ive been personally locked out of a game for the first 2 minutes because the game froze at the end of champ select and wouldnt let me in until i restart 2 times and my team finished their first fight(aram.. so fairly early), some people have posted about incorrect stats being shown at end game lobby, grades wont load sometimes etc.

graphical issues: the first time i used oriannas ult earlier today the game froze for 2 seconds and every time i used her ult after that it was slightly less glitchy but still enough to get killed over if the enemy was fast enough. the glitch never completely went away for me

i hope i am just overthinking this and it isnt really related to hextech crafting but some other hotfix update you did.
