Oh JOY, I've gotten enough bugsplats to be placed in a low priority queue!

Leaverbuster working as intended. I love it.

For the past month, every one in three matches or so I'll get a "gosh League of Legends can't start cuz your firewall bro you should fix that" (my computer has no firewall up while I play games) and it takes me anywhere from 1 to 10 minutes to start.

Now, in addition to that having cost me 2 ranked games, it appears I am in a low priority queue. Can someone give me the lovely details of what that entails so I know whether to stick it out or just quit this buggy fucking game?

"cost me 2 ranked games" No. Your stupidity lost you two ranked games. You should have enough intelligence not to play ranked while experiencing this type of problem. Quite frankly, I think you should be banned from ranked matches.

Forgive me father for I have sinned, i believed that the most profitable video game in the world might manage to figure out the complex process of connecting 10 people together to play said game.

Look, when Riot releases a patch update and I play a couple test games with no issues yeah maybe I'll try ranked.

Most profitable video game? Up for debate depending on what you are looking at.

Regardless, you are right. They should, and do, have more than enough resources to fix the problem. I am not debating that this isn't a problem or that it isn't their fault they have the problem. All I am saying is that you can't control that. Only thing you can control is being smart enough not to play ranked games while you are experiencing this issue. If you are not smart enough to avoid ranked, then do not bitch about losing games. You also shouldn't bitch about being punished for it. You stated that you have been having this problem for a month. If a month isn't long enough to trigger some thought in your head that you should probable not be an idiot, I don't know what to tell ya.

The problems with this are: 1) it is RANDOM. I could play 4 games in a row with no problem and then get the black loading screen of death the next game and 2) Riot is not really addressing this issue (beyond standard boilerplate- turn your firewall off, allow lollauncher.exe to run, run as admin bla bla.)

So your solution would be: stop playing forever.

Nucleophilic atkMar 5, 20151 votes

No. My solution would be to stop playing ranked matches until the problem is fixed. I had a similar issue. I didn't play ranked matches. It didn't take me a month to figure that out, and by the sounds of it OP still hasn't. Again, rito not addressing the issue is NOT a reason to keep fuking over teammates in ranked games.

Profit: Revenue minus costs. League of Legends is the single most profitable video game currently in existence.

So I should never play Ranked again then? The first time I got the bugsplat issue was a ranked game (1) and then the second was when league re-patched at some point in 5.5, and I played a few test normals games to see if the issue was gone. After 3, I believed it was, and tried a ranked game (2).

It's not "stupidity" the first time it happens and I guess it's just naivete the second time because I believed they'd actually gotten a tiny fraction of their shit together. Now are you done being the cool guy on the internet?

Nucleophilic atkMar 5, 20151 votes

Not trying to be the cool guy lol. Not sure where that comes from. Anyway, I would challenge that WoW, CoD, or even GTA have been more profitable than League. Unless you are comparing one single game, then I don't know. I would be happy to see data supporting your claim. I just think that you can say something like, "Madden NFL is much more profitable than League" and it hold some weight. But again, going off of speculation, so I would need to see some of your evidence.

You should stop playing ranked until you see if the problem is fixed. I'm sorry, but 3 games is surely not enough matches to determine if the problem is fixed if it is as random as you say lol. No, it is not stupidity the first time it happens. I did not imply that in the slightest. But when you say this has been going on for over a month, and you continue to play ranked games, it because stupid lol.

This comment is really BAD.

There IS a known connection bug that the client labels as a "firewall"- whether it is or not.

Just Google something like League of Legends firewall connection and see 100s of pages of people with the same problem.

I have had exactly the same problem.

Nucleophilic atkMar 5, 20151 votes

Lol, I'm not saying this isn't a real issue. I had something similar awhile back. Difference was that I was intelligent enough not to play ranked games until the reoccurring problem was fixed.

Dangerous ManMar 5, 20151 votes

What is people's problem with these things???? You might as well think babies should die for pooping their pants without cleaning it up by themselves! But he's not a baby or stupid or anything, League of Legends has glitches and nobody can control them except Rito.

Nucleophilic atkMar 5, 20151 votes

Actually, babies can't control shitting themselves. Their nerves and sphincters aren't developed enough to allow them to do so. OP, on the other hand, is perfectly capable of making a decision to not play ranked games while he is experiencing issues. Your comparison is stupid and lacks any thought process. At least don't bitch about losing games and being punished when you had a choice not to fuck up. "I have connection problems. I better play ranked and then bitch when they happen again" does not sound like a very logical statement.

Try uninstalling and reinstalling client. Or you can try repairing the game files (before you launch the game, it's over to the right at the top in an options tab). Was having the same problem and it went away after I did those two things. Think one of the recent patches is causing bugs on certain setups.

I sincerely doubt that will fix the real issue of now having to wait 5 minutes with a little preachy-ass message from Der Riotfuhrer every time I want to play a game.

But, maybe it'll fix the bugsplats. I'll try it.

Are you running lol.launcher.exe or lol.launcher.admin.exe? Running the admin one pretty much fixed it for me.
