Riot Patches Suck

You idiots at Riot messed up (again/ like always) and made my client do that crash thing it does when you have been playing for a long time and you just feel like allowing me to que up in a ranked game (in my series on top of that) and allow me to get into champ select and then freeze my client so the ban selection dwindles to zero giving me a loss after the error code comes up and gives me no other choice but to click the ok option. Then it shuts the window causing a loss to my series... This is happened to me many times with your stupid surprise patches in the middle of people who are already playing (already logged on) over the course of the 5 years I've played this game on 3 different computers and you guys haven't fixed this thing yet? Haven't you morons realized you should send the error message and kick people off on the main client home page as soon as someone ends their game; that way you don't give them false losses and fuck your paying customers who you have shown time and time again you don't care about? This is aggravating honestly and you guys need to put an end to this thing. If the current patch will not co-operate with the current server causing the client to crash and give people losses and the client allows them to que up in game you are essentially taking away LP from ranked players because of your folly. The client should read the current patch in the main lobby before you press the"play button." This kind of carelessness is what is so frustrating for veteran players who have dealt with your issues from the start. I'm sure lots of people have had this happen to them before, and my connection was not interrupted at all, my other windows weren't affected and my client opened right back up when I re-opened it only to find the patcher going to work so I know this problem is caused by you and not me... Fix this problem please so I don't have to hate your guts more than I already do... Sure if this was a issue brought up in one of those patch discussion things with scarra or someone your only response would be "yeah we fucked up" and he would be like "yeah, but that's all you guys say is, 'we fucked up' you don't fix it or think it's a problem, that is not how you cope with issues by admitting you suck at your job and not preventing another problem like it or just refusing to change it," which he essentially told the people last time he was on it by saying everything they were talking about dealing with the match maker (another huge issue) sucked balls and still does (my foresight tells me it'll be a while before he's invited back after making all the "experts in charge of the game" in that room feel like morons). Fix the essential parts before you start thinking about how much you are gonna charge for your new skins...

Or, as a second option and one entirely in their power, they could just get tired of hearing you complain about some thing that just happened, to everyone as well as you i might add, and get rid of your account. That would solve all those pesky issues you seem to be having with their company. Its a game. Its also a game that caters to millions of people each hour. On top of that its a game that, 90% of the time is stable and enjoyable. News flash mate, when something is changed in the game code, such as these new skins that tons of people have been anxious to get, chances are a code or two might clash somewhere in those billions of lines of code that make the game work. Im sure if they could, they would have a crystal ball that lets them see into the future and determine what crashes are going to occur and stop them in their tracks. They don't. And while you are complaining over the loss of a game, and i was kicked out of a ranked game as well, they are losing millions from the micro transactions that they were expecting. You know, the money that lets them pay for staff, servers, buildings, programmers, research and development and a thousand other things that let you enjoy the game.

But sure thing man...riot sucks and does nothing and blah blah blah.

Oh and those "surprise patches" are generally hot fixes to issues they found and fixed before they became catastrophic to the game. I eagerly await your salty reply with the tons of reasons that you will make up that prove me wrong.

Sincerely, the guy that dumped a bucket of water on your hot head.

Patches arent exactly a surprise for the most part there are warnings on the website or in game on those "!" buttons. For example almost every Tuesday during the slow hours riot does maintenance its been like that for as long as i remember. In fact if you look at the right hand corner of this page you will see an example of it.
