lots of different reports in this thread from different bugs and issues from the league client and the game client - there's nothing to report just yet on the league client performance side. we hear you, though, and we see the reports, but we don't have anything meaningful to share here yet (aside from sapmagic's post over in the T1 thread which I'll copy over here:)

Hey guys. First, I want to apologize that dodges like this continue to happen. They're disruptive, painful, and unacceptable—it's even worse when they happen in Ranked. The instinctual reaction might be to retroactively grant LP, but that can actually end up making things worse by throwing off the relationship between people's MMR and their rank.

Instead, for a while now we've been focused on trying to figure out exactly what's causing these issues so we can address them once and for all. We typically don't like to announce possible fixes in advance because we can't be 100% sure they'll fix all (or in some cases, any) of the problems players are experiencing, but I didn't want to be totally silent on this.

We made some changes a couple patches ago to help clients re-request the current state of Champion Select from the server when it looks like they're not getting messages in a timely fashion—it looks like that change may have helped in some cases but not all.

This patch (8.14), we're deploying some additional fixes that should help fix problems like the one Tyler1 experienced here (and Doublelift before him), but we expect there to still be some dodge issues after that fix goes out. In addition to the fixes, we're adding some new logging capabilities to League client to help us get a deeper understanding of what's going on so we can finally fix any lingering issues.

TLDR: This sucks and it's unacceptable, we made some fixes already with more on the way in 8.14 that should help fix some problems, and we're adding new logging capabilities in 8.14 that will help us fix this for good.
