Loryster130 votescan we have item sets back? and the draft system stays? thanks
Glarblar31 votesLeave Draft, take away blind pick
GG Get G00D12 votesI personally prefer blind. Despite the toxicity from time to time, it doesn't always happen and you're likelier to get your role than draft. At least in blind pick, you wait for 30 seconds for a chance to get your role when in draft, you wait for over 5 minutes for a chance to get it as well.
I don't want blind pick to be removed. It's way faster. Just because you don't use it doesn't mean other's also don't.
Infamous Hazard11 votesMy opinion:Should just leave draft or replace it with team builder any of those is k for me. just don't get rid of it completely*[slayer-pantheon-thumbs]*
MollyAnneWeasley68 votesYes, PLEASE! Item sets back ASAP!
mlgmage93521 votesYes bring back item sets so i can keep my spit push 
build.
Pett180611 votesI also would like the item sets to still be a thing, especially because of champions that can go several different kinds of builds like kog'maw ad/ap, lulu ad/ap/support/top. Also, sometimes you're trying to learn a champion and you make an item set with the item builds from guides and stuff
Denkou Raion 34 votesThis! ^ PLEASE RIOT! Item sets please! Plus I think I broke my client's current itemsets cause I can't add just remove... LOL! But that's beside the point! Please bring back Item sets! Sometimes the recommended just aren't meta no more :p [zombie-nunu-hearts]
The Last Zica8 votesI really need the item set creator implemented at the current old client level before the old client is dropped. If it isn't, it's very likely I'll drop League of Legends because of it, because it will adversely impact my gameplay that much. In fact, so important is that one feature to me that I would rather see the entire new client completely scrapped, replays and sandbox with it, than give up the item set creator.
As such, I will not be trying the beta unless and until I hear the item set creator's being implemented, and I will not be spending any money on League until I know whether or not I'll still be playing it in a few months or not.
So far, I have not seen any actual 3rd party replacement for the item set creator, and I am skeptical at best of a 3rd party option serving as an adequate replacement long-term anyways. Championify isn't even remotely close; it serves a completely different function, one I have no use for. I make my own itemization choices based on my actual style and abilities.
I'd also prefer Draft kept, but as I understand it, it is being kept in NA, just dropped from some of the smaller regions.
Grafinx9 votesRiot, how could you even think about removing item set. It's better to remove blind pick and add item sets. I spend a lot of hours building sets for certain champions and now it's gone.
NamiAlwaysLuvsU3 votesGIVE US ITEM SETS BACK OR WE RIOT.
BKNYTAITT52 votesASAP I need all of my items sets. I'm playing champs that i used to play and I can't remember the certain builds I had
PERCYJK2 votesYes pls bring back item sets xD ^^
DeathPixl47 votesRight now the client seems to have some issues on lower spec computers, does this mean we need to buy better computers? (By issues I mean it's pretty laggy and I've almost "dodged" games because of the frame drops on it.)
FizzyWàter8 votesI have a fast comp. but my computer is having this problem where it just brings up a black window after I launch league. I can't even open up league to log in.
JazzyMuffin9 votesThere really shouldn't be an issue.. Rito does a good job at making the game accessible to a variety of machines. While personally I would always jump at the idea of making your experience better, thus its not a bad idea to get a better machine. However, Considering this is still a beta product, I imagine Riot will work at making the client's effects adjustable. I hope at least... [slayer-jinx-wink]
LeGrandPizza5 votesRito lol
RiotRiot Grumbles18 votesNo, we're working hard on optimization to ensure anyone who's able to play smoothly now can play smoothly with the updated client. We are seeing worse-than-normal performance on lower-end machines that we're working to address.
FastAsThunder2 votesthere is a problem of an error happening when i am downloading th game do u know something to fix it or are u guys working on it?
RiotRiot Grumbles6 votesSounds like an issue with the update process, check out this thread.
Failog7 votesCool story, but how about you guys PUT THE GOD DAMN ITEM SETS BACK?
Seriously, what fucking idiot made that call. Its essential to game play. Its total nonsense that people on the boards even have to be posting about it. Do your god damn job and give the customers what they want.
shawnne3 votesoh really? it happens to me too I can launch my client but after that it wont open and when I check my taskbar and I click the league client, its all black so what do you recommend to us? were gonna buy new computer hell nah just fix the fucking out of this shit I'm begging you getting pissed of this issue though I wait like 2 hours just to update my client and this is what ive got?
RiotRiot Grumbles5 votesWe're aware of this issue, there's a workaround for launching the legacy client here.
ImJayToday31 votesI love what your doing on the client, I have NO complaints whatsoever, but I do have a wish:
Please add Item Sets back and Normal Draft. Blind pick is super toxic and hard to play the role you want, I'd wait an extra half hour just to play draft.
And item sets may not be used at higher elos (because people memorize), but when I was newer to the game I NEEDED them, I relied on them to build properly.
NoScope4Lyfe5 votesbut there is normal draft in this client idk what u r talking about
The Last Zica9 votesSeconding this. The Item Set creator is a vital feature for some of the community, myself included.
Disulfiram18 votesAre you planning on adding back the option to have bots in custom games?
tldixonjr17 votesPLEASE RIOT BRING ITEM SETS BACK
78750242DEL116 votesItem Sets please come back i need you bb.
houssamos16 voteswhen i try do download the new client it say: unspecified error occured. please check the logs for information
help me riot plz [zombie-nunu-tears]
Hiyori Chan6 votesHaving the same problem, haven't been able to get cancer all day.
Enpex9 votesAs a member of the society I would love to see the points on your top three champs when clicking on your profile tab, this would look prettier instead of having to hover over it to find it. I personally think this would be cooler for those of us who work on our champions mastery points. Thank you for the taking the time to read my comment and I am looking forward to seeing if my prayers are answered. :D thank you again!
JhinPykeAllDay8 votesdownload rate of beta client is so low!
jmares957 votesAfter downloaded the new client and after I click launch it just takes me to a black screen. I tried reinstalling the game but that doesnt work. does anyone know how to fix this?
TALK T0 ME NICE4 votessame here , a mini black screen that u can move around this it
AliceFelis7 votesCan we have a way to hide the friends list? I keep minimizing the whole client trying to close it lol ALSO ITEM SETS PLEASE ITEM SETS ARE A HUGE PART OF MY LEAGUE EXPERIENCE.
Im PíPì6 votesI cant open my game...why?
ArthurKwan4 votessame after this client update..
SoloQueueSavior6 votesWhere on earth can I create custom item sets in the client?
Neto Lannister3 votesIt's not currently available in the new client, Riot is still not sure if they'll implement it as far as I know
Rads6 votesNew Client UI Theme is awful and I hate the new L icon. I had to instantly alt f4 the new client 30s after trying it out and using the chat out of disgust.
Beylar6 votesI never thought moving the username/password stuff to the right side of the client would put my life in tatters. I was wrong. Put it back to the left, so everything can make sense again.
Kranich5 votesplz allow you to view your friends list while in draft
Php5 votesBeware! 15kpbs average download speed (P2P enabled) with no way to cancel. If you close and re-open client, it will start downloading again without asking (and without resuming where it left off).
AceOfSpades05145 votesThis is just my personal opinion but is there any way to minimize the friends list. It makes the screen feel incomplete because I always feel the friends list is blocking something. Not sure how everyone else feels about this or if its just me
Yonyon10204 votesI want to be able to stream league but I have OBS and the new client can't be viewed in OBS at all for Game Capture which is mainly what I use, I try to avoid using Monitor Capture because its less cpu usage for me. Please consider this.
Thank you
Lord Kitten4 votesHow do I stop the download for the beta? After looking at comments about potential problems, I would like to stop the download. I love league but I am afraid that I wont get to play anymore because of this beta version until fixed. I Realize that it is a beta but I don't want it anymore. Please help me rito. And my internet provider charges me for how much I use, and downloads hurt it the most. I read that it takes hours, and it is not worth it. Please help me, I need assistance but most of the time barely anyone replies to my question. Please read my question and help me how ever you can (if you can).
Nasty Yas4 votesI like the old version more, the new beta has a lot of bugs, such as replaying the recording for the game and errors when you exit (the game stays on with its sounds and everything) and the new beta is way more complicated and inefficient
Drunk Red Panda4 votesI'm not a fan of the new client. The old client looked better and was more organized.
charlieyowhatsup3 votescan we have build sets back pls i need it
