Can we have a pause button on the LoL Client updates or when downloading the Client?

It would help when its very long and you have to do something real quick and you don't want the computer or laptop to go to sleep and stop the load because it has always done that to me.

Patching time: 5-10 minutes on half decent internet. Default sleep mode idle time: 20 minutes

Not seeing how they relate. If you're afraid of your computer going into sleep mode, wiggle the mouse before you get up to do whatever you're doing - just bought yourself another 20 minutes.

My problems don't end there.

• I will have to go somewhere while its patching on my laptop and need to stop it. • I don't know how nice your wifi is, but it takes me from 5 – 30 minutes to update a Patch. • Have you recently had to download the Client? It takes literal hours. Some even days. • I would agree with you but I don't want to hope that when I have to get up, go somewhere, and come back hoping that my update is done before it goes to sleep.

It wouldn't hurt much and it would be very useful. It'd be nice if I had some support though...

...why don't you just close out the launcher? I don't get it. It resumes from where it left off.

Then I have to wait another 10 or more minutes, when I could just pause it and come back later to finish it in possibly 5 or less.

...why would it take 5 minutes if you "paused" it but 10 if you closed it and reopened it? It takes MAYBE 10-20 seconds to start downloading again on my PC.

Because that's how pausing a system should work. When you pause, the Client will know that you have not finished and will hold the point where you are and what you've loaded so you will be able to put your computer to sleep and not worry about the system restarting. You can always finish it later. But if I were to close the Client, it would have to reload all the data starting over from scratch. It's annoying and would just save some time. Especially for new players who have to wait a whole day just to download the Client. It was not a couple months ago, it took me several days to redownload the Client because it had messed up.

I have literally no idea what you're talking about. If you close the launcher in the middle of an update it does not re-download everything.

he's saying it rechecks which files you already have and sometimes that takes a long time or glitches out. new patches can have bugs which affect this. basically, if it didn't have to check which files you already have time would be saved... read carefully

you do know that you can chose if your computer sleeps or not, right? there's this thing called "power options". My computer never sleeps. The power consumption is negligible. I turn my monitors off by button press. way to annoying to have a computer in sleep mode just cause you went to make a sammich...

WTF are all this talks here, this guys defending something that should never be done. Ofc client should have a pause it is so irritating like that, having it is what almost all games have and is obviously needed. It is just plain shit that they dont put it in.
