Seriously riot? NOT EVERYONE CAN USE ALPHA CLIENT AS IT TAKES UP MORE DISK SPACE, CPU!! why would you all be dumb enough to take out something that helps thousands if not more players play with ease?? now everytime i load in a game in this new client im always late by 30 plus seconds(was never an issue before). if someone dodges or leaves a lobby my game freezes for a good 30 seconds which causes me to not accept the afk check. Someone from RIOT please tell me what in your right minds made you get rid of something that helped players with worse computers connect to leauge or run it better on there computer? That was a very idiotic thing to do on your before RIOT....

Riot should let the player vote on what client to use.

Low spec mode, Ffs.

Pretty sure you should contact player support then, it's supposed to be the opposite. Legit they'll find out what's wrong and help you fix it. They helped my friend do the same. They also haven't removed the legacy "files" themselves yet (I think they'll do that this coming patch) and that'll free up the extra space.

Low Spec mode is not the answer. It causes longer delays getting to champion select. The only way around the new client is to get a new PC. Fortunately I just did. If i hadn't, I'd be as pissed as this guy, because I tried it in Beta, and reverted back. Because it's heavy and slow. Very inefficient.

you're complaining to deaf ears. tencent owns league. you're literally not even a part of their main demographic (chinese players), this is a company. they want money and they're gonna listen to the largest ammount of people who spend money. this game's been on the decline since S3. if you take some time to actually look at the things riot does as a game company or any of their written material, it's a joke.

(Tl;DR riot games doesnt care about you or your problems)

that has changed within the past year. Currently at 100m players last time they announced their active player count, which was last year.

what the hell kind of computer are you playing on?

I have a cheap $500 laptop with integrated graphics, good enough to play league on lowest settings. Never had an issue with the new client.

thats great that your playing pm a 500$ laptop, gues what mate, not everyone has 500$ to drop on a gaming laptop and some of us build our own pc :) get off your high horse. its the disk space/cpu thats its killing me. never an issue with old client

sir, its not a gaming laptop. Its an average laptop. gaming laptops go for around $800+ depending on what you want in them. (most are 1-2k)

My pc i built 4 years ago still holds up, no clue what you're talkin about... did you buy one of those FX cpus?
