You know one thing that Legends of Runeterra absolutely destroys LoL with?

A decent fucking client. Seriously, Legends of Runeterra feels amazing when you're in the menus. Everything (so far) works. I click on a page I immediately go to it without issues. I can see my (empty/dead) friends list. It even starts up near immediately when I click it to run. The whole client there feels like a well oiled machine.

MEANWHILE, LoL's client feels like it's barely holding together with duct tape. I click on the store, scrolling deals is frozen and can't actually buy anything, have to go to loot and back to get it working. Vice versa with loot itself since it doesn't seem to load the first time I click on it. The issues we've had with the friends list, the various screenshots of base characters being locked in champ select, and just various issues that I can't list off the top of my head (I'm sure people know more that I'm missing). Not to mention that it nearly takes forever for me to actually have it pop up when I begin to launch it.

It just sucks that with their promise of updating the client they have made it worse and their future products feel more clean and smooth running than it. I still want to enjoy LoL, but outside of the state of gameplay , the client is just getting unbearable for me to keep ignoring. Seriously, Riot, can you maybe go back in another time to make sure the client runs as smooth as LoR?

league client was made by 1000000 monkeys while they were trying to write shakespeare

I think it's interesting that they didn't take the time to get TFT and LoL onto Runeterras client and scrap Leagues.

That way you'd have them all in the same HUB and LEague would be smoother.

You could still have the seprate currencies and all that jazz, but functionally League would be on a new and better client.

In reality though Riot needs to go full "Halo infinite" and restart everything on a cleaner slate.

They need people to get hooked onto it, so they take the time to make it work, people are already addicted to league so they don't care, it's all about business.

Came here to say this if it wasn't the post lol. Upvoted, although LoR still has plenty of xlient bugs too, like chat not giving any sort of notification anywhere but when you directly click on it and having the same repeat message problem league client currently does
