The problem had NOTHING to do with my computer. I played during the last 3 patches of 5.xx, without any problems. Then during 6.1, I would experience a crash within the first 10 minutes of 4 out of 5 games I would play. Just one crash, Gabe would freeze, I would have to ctrl+alt+delete and able a minute later it would unfreeze to the windows task manager screen. Also, it would never happen more than once in a game.
Now at the same time my wife was working on her own computer and couldn't play league on her computer so she would use mine. She played just as many games as me and NEVER experienced the problem once.
All the while I was sending the same reports and logs over and over to the support tech I was unlucky enough to pull, who would make me answer the same questions repeatedly over our long exchange back and forth. He also kept asking for me to make a change that was physically impossible to make, but every time I told him, it would go in one ear and out the other, because he would tell me again I needed to make the network change that was out of my control.
So during this frustrating back and forth, 6.2 comes out, and I never have a repeat of the problem again. Not once...
