Can you fix your damn client?

Riot, do you even care about your client? That the fact that the UI is terrible and it is filled with lots of bugs? Do you even mind just taking some time to make the client actually usable?

- Laggy. My PC has 8 GB of RAM. I checked task manager while having league client open and it wasn't even reaching close to max CPU usage (maybe around 55%) Whenever I tried to click a button, it took like 5 seconds to respond. So all in all, it took like a whole minute of waiting for response just to get into queue.

- Loot bar? When I open the client, sometimes the "Loot" section takes like 2-3 minutes to show up. And it's quite slow when it does.

IN-GAME: CRASHES I am now afraid to change settings in-game because it just crashes the game and gives me the stupid bBugSplat thing. I was trying to adjust the window setting from "Windowed" to "Borderless." And the game, quite literally, crashed. Which gave them a 2 minute headstart against me.

THE STORE Just kidding. I put this here because Riot really only cares about their store and purchasing RP. It is never broken. And that's the problem. Why do they pay so much attention to the store and nowhere else? (Haha Riot you looked! Ya got baited :D)

Mine loaded just fine when I was using a 4gb computer. Might be some system-specific thing? Might just be you somehow have shittier internet?

I've had that happen when it's the first time opening it that day. Simply switching to another tab and going back to loot makes it load pretty quick tho.

In-game issues aren't client issues. Again, sounds like a system issue, because I can swap settings just fine even on an ancient as fuck computer.

Ah, yes, generic conspiracy bait that's not even true. Best way to get people to agree with you.

What do you mean their store is never broken? Remember that time they accidentally let everyone buy everything for 1 BE for like, 2 hours?

Tbh I don't think people understand that this game uses archaic client and engine. It's like trying to put sexy lingerie and make-up on your grandma. You can do that but oh god why would you?!

Anyways it's miracle this stuff still works :/

Oh yea, client was changed some time ago, but considering it's just as unstable and laggy, I'd say the change was only in clients serial numbers.

Choosing the "close client while ingame" option gives me so much less performance issues its insane. Takes forever to open after each game, but at least I dont have low fps or ping issues with that garbage client in the background. Problems that come with this option is occasionally not being able to open the lobby screen until a relog or being stuck in "waiting for stats" screen.

You're actually wrong. Even buying RP can be bugged, and stay bugged for quite a few days, even when sending a support ticked immediately. I was actually wondering if I would have to send a new ticked asking: "Are u serious Rito? Are you actually going to stop me FROM PAYING YOU FREAKING MONEY?".

The issue is that it's not consistent. If it broke for everyone at the same time they could've easily fixed it, but that's not what's happening. I've not had a single bug or issue at all with the new client, but the old client broke every single game for me. I wasn't able to see the post-game lobby for over a year in the old client because it never got past the "waiting for stats" screen.

The only thing you might call an issue I've had with the new client is that the store is a little slow sometimes, but at least it works unlike the old one.

Bro the past 2 day days I'm having major issues myself as well , I had a frame rate drop from normally 120capped to about 15-30fps then the entire client is bugging out , I intiated a full client repair , it fixed my fps problem but the client for me now is still laggy/slow
