Does Riot just not have a team for their client anymore?

I'm so tired of this buggy client. I just had one game where I was stuck in "game in progress" even though it was over. And I just got into a game where there was no way I could change my runes. The button for it just was gone.

Client definitely needs more work than Riot is willing to put into it. It seems like every single instance in the client starts a new thread in your processes. You click profile, new process, you click collection, another new process. Kinda bad in design.

Remember when RP shop was unavaible? They fixed this under 1 hour. This client has been buggy for more than 2 years and shit happened. Old rito would never allow this to happen.

Seriously it seems like every patch the client gets worse and worse. Replay client was completely broken last patch (idk if it still is) and just yesterday I instantly crashed upon entering the loading screen. Couldnt even alt tab, had to ctrl alt del and sign out of my laptop account

It's honestly unreal how shitty this client is

  1. Their client code has been messed up hard unless skilled/experience programmer willing to help in their office.
  2. Old client design team not working at Riot anymore, left internships/newbies handling buggy client.
  3. Refused to fix it because it provides zero benefits/profits to their time/effort.

Those are probably reasons why Riot didn't take any action till now.

The question should be: "Did they ever had a client team?"

In all seriousness, client bugs never really bugged me, except those rare times my runes didn't save.

i recal a rioter on reddit saying something along the lines they never had one specific team for dealing with the client and thus no one set of people can take responsibility.

its legit some sort of monster thats prob easier to make a new one from scratch then fix the current one.

though this is 100% from memory so i very much could be wrong
