Do I need to repair my client pre-emptively before EVERY ranked match?

chimichanga soda·Apr 20, 2018·3 votes·1,351 views

This is ridiculous. Two bug splats into installation repairs after ranked queue draft this month. Hello leaver buster punishment.

All of it completely out of my control.

Already had someone dance AFK in fountain for 3/4th of the game earlier today. Three failed surrenders.

All of it completely out of my control.

I just have to sit there and take it.

I've been playing games online since the late 90s and now that I think about it, I don't think I've seen an online system that empowers a single troll to ruin a large group of people's experiences most successfully than this one. That is, if the client doesn't flip out and decide ruin your day itself with no warning or recourse.

If you think about it, this game is a troll's dream. Register a free account then jump into queue with your 9 victims and just troll til your heart's content. They're locked in there with you, queue the Rorschach meme from Watchmen. More often then not, they won't even be able to get off an early surrender. #neversurrendergang

Once the game is started If you're dealing with a troll, all you can do is toss out a report into the gaping, opaque, silent void that is Riot's player punishment system. If you end up getting actual confirmation that a player gets punished because of your report, it'd probably be a good idea to purchase a Powerball ticket.

What is even the point in queuing for ranked anymore? What is even the point of keeping this game installed on a harddrive when I could have a 5 times better gameplay and community experience in Fortnite?

Been playing off and on since 2009 beta. Moving on to better pastures.

You're acting like this is somehow Riot's fault which I find a little childish of you especially since you can't even take the hour to reinstall the client. I've been playing since 2009 and I don't have bugsplat issues except when Riot was actually at fault for those and excused the leaves/prevented the LP loss. The vast majority of the player base also does not have this issue.

The issue is on YOUR end so forgive my language but -- get yo shit together. And if you're truly not having fun playing then don't play! I've personally started playing a lot less because the same game 9 years later gets boring. I don't get why people waste the free time they have on something they don't enjoy. My free time is so limited as it is there's no way I would ever do that.

I've taken several hours to reinstall their terrible client. And that is the problem. I am punished because their client can't run on standard hardware/software. Consistently

If you bothered to read, I'm NOT playing. I just uninstalled and am adding my post to the pile that Riot will not bother to address.

I guess my question is if it runs for the vast majority of players (millions upon millions) correctly and just not you how do you come to conclusion that it's their client's fault (which Riot could actually do something about) vs., your hardware's fault (that Riot has no control over)?

And if you're moving on to "better pastures" why bother making a topic about it and having people like Chermog and Cynikul try to give you solutions on how to fix the problem and just simply waste their time and good intentions?

I have nothing against you nor your decision to leave the game, but that doesn't excuse you from acting in the manner that you are. And yes I did bother to read both your original topic and every single one of your replies like I always do when I reply to these types of threads.

You don't get leaver bustered for 2 bug splats.

I'd look at your other afk games if you want something to blame.

Except that the auto leaver buster bot doesn't give a shit what caused you to not be connected after 3 minutes. These 2 were enough compounded with previous bugsplats to put me in leaver buster. Sorry to knock you off your pompous throne.

From a CS standpoint, there is no technology currently in existence that can tell a remote server why you disconnected.

Kei143Apr 20, 20181 votes

Then you probably should get your client checked out. People aren't regularly having such problems.

Contact support https://support.riotgames.com and ask them for tech support.

Dude, I know your feels. After having this "error" for close to a year now, I can give you advice. It's not the best of solutions, but it works the vast majority of the time for me:

When I get these bug splats in the loading screen, I've tied the event to 2 particular things that cause it: 1.) Patching. Patching seems to fuck up my loading screen/causes bugsplat and full instillation repair. It usually happen in the first 1 to 3 games- after its repaired I have no issue playing again after that. 2.) CLOSING LEAGUE OF LEGENDS. Yup, better believe this one. If I close league, it seems there is always a bugsplat somewhere between 1 to 7 games after re-logging in. Having started left league open continuously, I have never seen the bug appear until AFTER I'm forced to patch OR I'm forced to close league (for whatever reason)

Despite about 1/20, maybe 1/25 of my ranked games ending in a REMAKE (some I was so close to rejoining in time too! Ugh hate joining in at 3:02 and the remake vote is already up ;n; although its "saved" me from a 0-4 game once), i've managed to get to play 5 this season so far, so just... Just focus on the ones you can play. I really feel compassion for you in the sense that very few people will believe you about this bug, and it truly is 99.9% out of your control. Riot support actually believed me because they could see my "history" of the games I left/bug splats probably, but they didn't really have a good solution... The ones that bugsplat? Completely out of your control, dont fucking worry about them ( I know thats hard ), focus on the ones you can control and try extra hard and you will be fine. I think I'd have 3~4 more wins if it wasn't for this BS

Just gonna move on to better games. League is just a fossil in the evolution of online gaming. Numbers don't lie.

You realize League has been triumphed by countless games on twitch countless times over its tenure, usually for 4-8 weeks depending on the games relevence, then the numbers shift back every single time?

PubG H1Z1 Dota 2 Hearthstone Smite

Every one of these games had leagues of people saying the same thing, Fortnite is literally next. I find that a large portion of these people that say this are just using a childish excuse because they "aren't getting there way". If you aren't having fun, move on, thats cool, but to attempt to point out #leaguesdead? Like holy shit, are we back in kindergarten where getting the last word in feels gratifying or something? Its like a midde school ex shit. I'm actually at a loss of words of what must be going through your head to act/feel this way. Anyways, good luck champ.

Every game lasts a certain time. League is well past it's prime and it's welcome. If you could detach yourself and step back and look, you'd see that, too.

Have you considered resinstalling the client from the beginning? Somehow, your client has gotten corrupted - likely a conflict with your antivirus or another program on your computer.

I could do that, or I could just not waste more time on this game. Just throwing my 2 cents into the shred bin that is Riot's customer complaint department.
