EDIT: from /u/RiotBlueMonday " I believe we may have pushed out a fix for this issue. Please restart to pull down the latest version. Make sure the RiotClientService.exe is dead prior to starting the game back up again. It seems to have been getting stuck shutting down for a few folks, use task manager to kill it. Once its dead and you launch the game again it should install the latest version with the fix. Let us know if you are still running into this after downloading the latest version. "
thanks rito
Riot client services is having an issue with EXTREMELY HIGH CPU usage. Just figured I'd warn those who might not see. Launching Valorant OR League of Legends uses Riot client services, and it will remain open even after closing the games. The fix is simple, open task manager (ctrl + shift + esc) and end the program.
