Upvote if you think Riot should disable Low Priority Queue until client is un-bugged

EDIT: to clarify, i like the new client. It looks nice and in theory should work a lot better then the old ways, i'm just frustrated i can't accept matches because the afk check never comes up for me.

Today it took me 35 minutes to get into a game, part of this may be due to a client bug? Are any of you other guys having this issue? It went like this:

started queue, 7 minute wait game was found after everyone else picked and locked their champs my client froze, i never had the option to select my champ, and was booted for it 5 and a half minute low priority queue (thanks..) another 5 minute wait, returned to lobby for "failing to pass the afk check" another 5 minute wait, returned to lobby for failing to pass the afk check (it just wasn't popping up) another 6 minute wait, got in a game, most people chose their champions, someone dodged. another 8 minutes in queue, returned to lobby for failing afk check went blind pick, 30 seconds later was in a game.

Is anyone else having an issue with the afk check (aka the pop-up that says "match found" and you need to click accept), or is anyone else having an issue with the client freezing before they can select their champ? (i was last pick, the guy before me on opposite team picked his champ, the timer went to 0 and got stuck there, never let me chose my champ and i was booted)? This was my first time trying the new draft queue since it was disabled yesterday.

Also, i couldn't close the client using the "x" on the top right. Clicking it did nothing, i had to alt+space+c to close..

I think it's ridiculous to get kicked out of a game because of something you can't control and get placed in a low priority queue because of it. I have work and limited time to play, when it takes 35 minutes to get in a game it hardly feels like i can play at all. If the client bugged out on champion select twice i actually wouldn't be able to play at all. I think riot should disable the low priority queue until everything works as intended.

My friend was having this problem where the screen turns slightly grey and you can't choose a champion. We waited 2 5 minutes and 2 13 minutes and was so stupid. Seriously this patch we are forced to dodge and being punished for it.
