I mean, sometimes the previous client had its hang-up moments, but never for more than a couple of seconds.
I've been kicked because I couldnt pick my Champ due to the Mordekaiserian speeds the client now runs at. Is anyone seeing this?
PeterPeckerhead23 votesI was in pick ban phase and was changing my masteries. Once the bans came around to me i couldnt exit my mastery page to ban anyone. Now I'm banned for 15 minutes and worried that if it happens again I could have a more serious ban. Rlly hoping riot gets it fixed
AuraCreed3 votesI've had similar problems on the new client and problems where I couldn't even change masteries because they wouldn't light up correctly. Not to mention that sometimes the chat just does not properly respond or load up and you have no idea if anyones saying anything or asking for a trade.. etc.
It's been like that since Alpha and I'm surprised it wasn't ironed out before Beta popped up - really hope it's being looked into.
intrelis3 votesIt has been like this since the alpha. I thought they would look into it before they released the beta. I truly hope they get a fix on this before they stop support for the legacy client, or many people would have a hard time playing.
The weird thing is that I also get fps issues during the game when I use the new client, which never happens with the old one. Granted, my laptop isn't all that great, but there is still a significant difference between the two clients, which shouldn't be there. If anything, the new client should be more optimized (as Riot said themselves).
Jad6 votesYea its been laggy for me too. I'll probably just switch back to legacy until it gets fixed.
Over Innsmouth3 votesThat's what I've been doing.
Sckullzz5 votesI've had very few issues. The only two being sometimes I can't buy RP, and sometimes the play button lags a little.
Escheton4 votesLaggy, random dc. And crashes. Yeah. It looks sleek tho.
GoldField4 votesI just came into a lobby and was 2nd to ban, after the enemy team, and when it came around to me I had 7 seconds left and I tried to make a real ban but never even reached the point of clicking on the champ before I was kicked from the lobby and put on a timer. The lobby is crazy laggy, I don't even want to know how bad the shop is, and changing masteries becomes a journey(I have 1 mastery page and edit it for each time). If I have to upgrade my system just to not be kicked from the lobby I might as well stop playing league, it might just be bug but what do I know. In game everything runs smoothly.
GigglesO4 votesthere is also no way to add anyone to your block list in the new client...
Xonra2 votesWhich is actually rather annoying. I run into some real dick bags sometimes, and would prefer to not have to deal with them. Now I don't have that option.
Tsumi2 votesYeah I'm rather annoyed at that as well. Not only that, your custom message doesn't last very long unless you stay logged. Also it was annoying when my old client auto installed the new one. Sad to say that I had to delete that client and use my Alpha Client.
Unbago4 votesSuperlaggy on my toaster. Even in-game FPS dropped from 80 to 20 and below. I tought I have to buy a new PC. Luckily I came here and learned to use legacy-client. FPS went back to 80 and above and game is still playable. New client look cool and I hope they fix it before it becomes mandatory.
Sona Ping3 votesIt's a beta. Beta software is, by definition, buggy.
MiksaMV2 votesNot at all. I wonder where you got this definition from. A beta is just unfinished, but mostly functional and lacking features. I can be bugfree already. The DooM betas from Mid to End 1993 work all fine. No sound effects, no lighting, no animation but no real crashes. These are, by definition, betas.
It's probably "laggy" (which is also weird since it's nothing that could slow down much, it's not calculating CAD graphics or Bitcoins via CPU, it's basically just a frontend, a GUI that hands over stuff to the actual game client) but both is just poor for such a company like RIOT Games.
A beta phase for a cheap GUI frontend. No beta for the game. Just. The. Client.
warpenguin5553 votesI have that too. I thought it was just because I have a toaster
SkZ DoPe3 votesi have no problems with performance, but if my PC can run GTA V on Ultra settings it would be kinda wierd if it couldnt handle lol client
Ztoka9 votesI have had some lag issues and can run pretty much any game maxed. The client is just a bit buggy. You are fortunate to have not run into issues :)
SSShutTheDuckUp3 votesIt has been like this since Alpha. It's kinda hilarious and kinda shame at the same time that the client is more demanding than the game itself.
LEEROY KLEDKINS3 votesI've experienced a handful of problems even the same ones that were in the alpha client.
Riot shouldn't have released the beta client to the public, even in its alpha state it shouldn't have a ranked feature.
Sadly we can't do anything about this.
joliesse3 votesI was an alpha tester from the very beginning and I had this problem throughout testing, so I was hoping it would be fixed by the time beta launched. I had to wait for a while when I clicked any champion, spam click Lock In and pray that I didn't dodge. If I wanted to pick another champion, it was hell. I play on a MacBook Pro, which I know isn't optimal but it still ran the legacy client pretty well. And my laptop's fans go on the moment I open the new client, which didn't happen in the old client or at least happened after multiple hours of grinding League. I hope this is fixed soon!
Secretlolz3 votesSuperlaggy for me :( Can't even go along with the champ select. It diez.
It DIES!
Bootleg Gay2 votesI haven't run into any bugs so far. I think my computer just can't handle it nearly as well as the old client, and it makes me sad because it's so new and beautiful, but I can barely run it. I'm gonna need to upgrade if I want to enjoy this game anymore.
Junkο7 votesWhile I'm pretty much in the same boat, this doesn't really make sense to me. The new cilent has like 1/3 the memory usage of the old one and CPU usage is pretty much the same.
But they will prob fix all of this eventually anyway.
Battlecast Sona6 voteswait until the live release tbh. I wouldn't be surprised if the beta is mostly not optimized for lower end computers yet, since it just started. Give it a few more patches and I bet it'll run fine, but there's probably some memory leaks/poorly optimized code atm that is causing problems for your PC.
dunkeroni2 votesIt seems to be connection issues more than graphics. A lot of options hang on a server response that can take over 30 seconds at times (such as selecting your preferred role in draft party)
rtbf2256182411 votesYou do realize the Legacy and New Clients use the same servers?
Dolasaur3 votesYou do realize the Legacy and New Clients use the same servers?
Yeah, but the end user can't tell the difference between "server is slow to respond" and "bug in the part of the UI that says it's contacting the server" and "bug in the client side networking code that communicates with the server".
For example, with the current client, I have no trouble with connections to LoL ever, except when creating a custom game. When it gets to the team creation screen, I get a popup saying "contacting server" that prevents me from interacting with anything. After about 20 seconds a "cancel" button pops up. It's probably not actually a connection issue, but the UI sure makes it seem like one.
rtbf2256182413 votesI get a popup saying "contacting server" that prevents me from interacting with anything.
Press Enter. The message goes away. That is a bug, not a connection issue. Not many know this since i discovered it myself.
While bugs can create connection issues, this is not the case here. The New Client is currently unoptimized and runs better when lowering the resolution of it. Guess why.
Nami Want Salami2 votesIt works better for me than the old client
WiegrafOfValor2 votesMordekaiserian speeds

The Trifled one2 votesYeah, this client is f*cked, dude. I've also had 3 games in a row where people afk'd and we had to end early.
MythPuppy2 votesIt lagged so bad I couldn't see lobby chat. and when I picked my champ, it took a full a full 20 seconds for the click to register. In-game ain't that bad. It's just the friggin menus
Scyther20002 votesIt's extremely laggy for me. can't get past champ select unless i play aram and just pray I get an ap champ (for r&m) .
Spôôked2 votesIt was so laggy for me that it almost froze up my entire computer. I don`t know if I can even play League until they do something about it.
EDIT: Now it tells me there`s another instance of the client running whenever I try launching it :/
AgruZeno2 votesi have a not so good pc so it is soo laggy i hope they can fix this and maby a dayly or weekly rotation from the login schreen spash arts
Sending a Jax2 votesI have to wait 5 minutes because riot screwed up and fixed what was not broken. Lagged out and missed banning.
jbac2 votesIt is literally the laggiest UI I have ever used,
I'm even running it on a Radeon M275 with an I7 clocked at 2.00 GHz with 12 gigs of DDR3, the result is 6 fps
YucE 2 votesI wish the client doesn't run on 4 processes at once especially on a low end computer it is an issue right now. I tried to play on my school laptop and I couldn't even select a champ let alone the mastery because if I try to pick before it loads I will get Q ban because it doesn't respond.[zombie-nunu-bummed] The Client seems to work fine until the champ select.
BushidoBlade2 votesI can't even open the Beta Client on Windows 7. Thought other people would have this problem too, since the only thing that's dated on my rig is the OS. Guess I won't be playing League this week. :/
Tazira2 votesHello,
I have the same problem. Everything needs at leat 10 seconds to response. Animations are super slow and/or stutter. I hardly can pick a champ in champ select. It takes me about 20 seconds to even chance my summoner spells.... Please don't force us to take the new client in the future, otherwise I can't play League anymore. :(
Sleepless Nights2 votesThe lol client took too long to respond after I clicked Start. While its starting, i couldnt do anything else but my computer gets really laggy. Cant open a folder or webpage. The good news is this is still in testing.
Reina Victoria2 votesSame here :c
xagonfly2 votesNot just you. Lags during champion select for me. Lags to the point I barely have time to pick a champion or ban. And also, not being able to block players in the new client is just straight up uncool. Using legacy client for now.
Denniain2 votesYeah, I'm having issues too. I've checked my graphics card, I've gotten my internet to 35mbs, I get around 60fps, but league is almost completely inoperable. Playing league is torture because of lag.
Colonel M00M002 votesSame here, I've been kicked several times from champion select because it would take 30 seconds to load anything new and by the time I was able to click anything it was too, and earlier today I clicked a champ to ban and it clicked someone else entirely (...the enemy team wound up picking the same champ I tried to ban =.=)
It might be because my laptops old (got it in 2012, and still works fine, god bless its soul T.T )
Ezzzzu2 votesI tested the new client as well, and at champ select I raged like 
. Time ran out before I could do anything.
I really play on a toaster, but I dont think thats the problem. Fortunally, you still can play on the old client.
Crime Society2 votesi lost a rank because of changing client's i did not know i was going to get lagg and just as it happened i smashed my metal lamp into the wall and made a huge hole thank you riot you fucking A-hole's!
Satnspawn2 votesJust had to auto dodge a ranked game because I couldn't ban a champ. After i picked him, his image had circles in it indicating that something is loading. Anyway, it didn't load on time and the ban button was still grayed out so I was kicked. Had lag before it as well even though I have a descent rig.
Switching to legacy until hopefully this gets sorted out.
