well i've now repaired the client and its still doing the same thing. I have the same settings and connections that i've had the past 2 years and its worked fine up until now.
"unable to connect to the server. If you have a firewall, it may be blocking the connection. Please refer to your firewalls's documentation. Would you like to retry the connection?"
I turned off my firewall completely, and its still not letting me connect. This IS Riots client f**king up and IF they penalize me for it, the i will just not play the game anymore. Like i said, it was working fine in the past, and even earlier today it worked just fine. So it has nothing to do with my end.
