This new client is a fail, sry bros.

I was looking forward to it for months. I'm just being honest, it's a step back. Combining the chat into 1 was a good direction but catering it to the mobile app wasn't a good idea. It just doesn't feel right.

The old champ select was more "abstract", this one is cartoony and gives me a gross retro feeling.

90% of the people on my list prefer the old one. When the last client came out, it was nothing but positive.

So far most people have switched back to the legacy client. I feel like doing the same but I know it's pointless because it will eventually go away.

I know it's only the beta but I don't see Riot making any major changes to it.

Tbh I really like the new client. Specially the new stats you can get from post games, and replays.

I said the same thing. Doesn't look near as clean, and its laggy as shit for me.

I said good try riot but you should really think about scraping this new client idea.

My comments got met with hostility haha.

Yeah theres some things that look kinda bad and out of place. Anyways riot know they have to improve the client we just have to wait.

have a nice day Jax

Ignoring all of those aesthetic issues, can we talk about how the client is laggy as fuck and never loads anything fast enough for me....

I also didn't mention how many times my team/I dodged because it's not clear enough when it's your turn to pick/ban

I've been using it for awhile and haven't had a single crash which is 10000x better than the old client. That being said I feel like making the new client look all fancy has made it less intuitive. Everything just seems like it takes longer and isn't as clear. I'll take the no crashing over the old client however.
