[2023] The way Riot handled Clash these past few weekends is frankly just disrespectful to the players

For the second weekend in a row, Clash failed to work on Saturday and also trapped participants' accounts in the tournament for hours without a way to quit/forfeit.

Along with that, Riot offered no communication at any point during or afterwards other than "Yep we know there's an issue", and they've also not offered any compensation or Clash rewards.

People plan ahead and take time out of their weekends to sit down and play Clash. Server issues occasionally happen and that's understandable, but when for the second weekend in a row, players are prevented from even backing out and playing normal games with their friends they gathered together, AND they receive next to no communication and zero compensation, that's nothing short of disrespectful to the players and their time.

I'm usually somewhat on the "it's a free game, they don't owe you anything" train, but in this case people are planning ahead and sacrificing their time, and sometimes money, to play the tournament. And in my opinion it's a terrible look for Riot to continue having these issues and seemingly do nothing about it, not even in the form of communication or compensation.
