Can't connect to games for some reason??

I just came back from college for thanksgiving break, and with my new time, I decided to break out league again and play a little bit. The first game I get into, I never connect to; my percentage in the loading screen stays at 0% and I am unable to close out of the client using Alt+F4, Ctrl+Alt+Delete, Alt+tab, etc. At The only way out of this is to hard reset my computer, which gives the team i was unable to play with more than enough time to surrender the 4v5 in the first 5 minutes, giving me not only a loss (I decided to play ranked) but a low priority queue as well as putting me in a really shitty mood. I'm not sure if it's a problem on my end or on League's end. AT first, I thought this was jsut a fluke or whatever so I took the L and queued up for a normal game with my 20 minute LPQ. The exact same thing happens. I've troubleshooted my wifi, I've connected to multiple different wifi networks (I have a large-ish family so we have a few different wifi networks), I've tried restarting my router before games, I'm not sure what else to do. I've become very upset because this has happened numerous times since I got back from school and I've seriously considered just not playing league anymore as I am getting far more angry because of it than I should be (and it's a game so I don't think it''s supposed to be as rage inducing as it is, and it's not even the gameplay itself that's pissing my off, it's that I can't even get the opportunity to play it at all.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Checking to see if your Graphics Card Driver is up-to-date can solve many issues occurring with your game. Using the automatic tool from your Graphics Card Manufacturer can find and install updates to your driver.

I will provide a list of the common Graphics Card Manufacturers and their tools to update drivers:

If your drivers are up-to-date or if updating your driver does not fix your issue, try running the Hextech Repair Tool, which can fix certain issues with your game. You may also need to run a "Full Repair" from the League Client. This will repair corrupted files that could be causing game issues.

If neither solution works, send a Support Ticket to Riot Support to get more thorough help.
