Can we PLEASE fix the damn CLIENT?!?!

Riot, Please fix the client.... It is the face of your game. AND, it Runs the basic functions that the game revolves around, like picking runes.... And champs... And banning champs... So it of all things, if not the only damn thing, should run flawlessly. Take a break from your glorious cash grabbing campaign, and please set a team aside to work on the client for a bit....

It's not a question of "when" the client messes up, it's a matter of "What". What will it be this time? Sometimes it'll be minuscule, and not game altering. But other times, It'll force you to dodge because you can't select a damn champ or ban one. Or, it won't let you pick/edit rune pages! And other times, it's simple stuff. Like, the store not loading the first time you click it, or same thing with your "Loot".

So here is a lovely list of the glorious client issues i have recently had.

  1. Can't edit rune pages, can select my different pages, but cannot edit, will pop up a blank box. Have to re-launch to fix.
  2. Upon hitting "Play Again", i am often greeted with a black box of void instead of a queue up button. Have to re-launch to fix.
  3. Things like Blue Essence and RP will overlap, or be on random parts of the client instead of their normal places. Have to re-launch to fix.
  4. Often won't be able to connect to chat, or friends list, or, my fav, you just see "Summoner 1-5" as team mates. Yeah that's a strange one. Re-launch.
  5. Black box instead of champs to either ban or select. Forces a "dodge", and yes, you lose your LP if it's ranked and this happens. Nothing you can do here. Happens randomly when client sees fit it seems. Re-launch just in case afterwards.

That's just off the top of my head. I can think of more. And I'm sure plenty of others have experienced wonderful client things of which i haven't.

Also, I feel i need to state for the record, all of my equipment. I'm not on a potato. i9-9900k, RTX 2080ti, 32GB Ram, 1TB SSd's, And as for internet, I am WIRED, into a nighthawk router, 15 MS which would be lower but ya know, Server stuff lol. 190 down, 12 up. So, by no means am i on some 20 year old laptop prone to issues, running on a mcdonalds wifi. Not the case... Oh yeah, and i HAVE re-installed the game cleanly, and i have run the repair tool, which just tells me everything is fine btw, and neither have had any impact on these issues, as is usually the case.

And yes. Windows up to date, my anti-virus is not interfering, nor anything else, drivers are up to date, everything i can control is all fine and dandy.

And again, yes, i know some of you have never experienced any of this, some of you may, and some of you have experienced completely other stuff from the client. But this is what I experience nearly every time i play the game, as well as a few friends i play with, AS WELL as people in the SAME EXACT MATCH. In fact, that seems often, that when it happens to me, it's happening to someone else on the team, or enemy team. So there's that. Not all experiences are the same. But that's mine, and often the people around me's as well.

But sadly, this is the boards. And we all know how much riot listens to us, and for good reason most of the time. But this time? I think it's fair to ask for a functioning client. I wouldn't consider that a "far fetched reach" of any kind. But that's my opinion i suppose. That's my 2 cents on the matter. Just want a reliable client.. Hell half the time i gotta re-sign in even after having the damn remember me shit checked. Like, come on man. So simple...

LOL... you're new here aren't you? RIOT doesn't fix anything, I mean they have day 1 bugs still in the game. All they do is add more skins, rework champs in ways no one wants, and randomly rotate the meta to ensure more sales. Bug fixes, they don't happen.
