Just a tip from someone who had a frankenputer for years, how to deal with the crashes easier

Hey guys, just throwing out a quick tip, if your game is freezing on match load screen or in game it creates an issue where you can't alt tab to task manager

I've simply started opening task manager on a separate screen, this allows me to actually get to the task

The task for the actual game is different than the tast for the league client, end the task with the older league icon attached to it, they're both labled league of legends but the newer one will exit your client and end your involvement in any party you're in, including kicking you out of Voice chat. Exiting the task with the classic client's icon next to it will simply bring you to the 'reconnect' screen, which is much faster.

I was running $50 used laptops for a decade thanks to poverty and I swear by this trick. I always keep it open in order to avoid total system restart etc etc

You can do it without a separate screen and without task manager too.

Plus, You didn't mention how you got your Task Manager to open in the secondary screen

Just run the game in borderless mode. You can push the Windows button on your keyboard to bring up the task bar. Then, just close the game tab > error msg occurs > close it > Reconnect from the client.

It's a trade-off, because the task manager itself uses some resources, and if you don't need it, then it's a waste. I suppose that you could alt-tab once you saw that everything was ok, and close it.
