  • Double Arrows instead of Pointers (Mouse icon)
    • Click the side of the client window (as if trying to stretch out the client)
    • Arrows should automatically go away
  • Can’t tell if in Ranked game
    • Try to dodge in champ select (just click the button to close the client, no need to actually close it)
    • If the game is Ranked, will receive a message saying “This is a Ranked game, dodging will make you lose LP”
  • Clicked the LoL icon but the launcher doesn’t start
    • Run as Administrator
  • Pressing play on the LoL launcher doesn’t do anything
    • Go to Riot Games folder
    • Open up League of Legends
    • Open up RADS
    • Open up projects
    • Delete lol air client folder
    • Delete lol launcher folder
    • Start up League, there should be a patch and then the game will work properly
  • Game automatically locks camera (usually occurs after a death)
    • Open up the options tab and then close it
  • How to check ping
    • Websites such as pingtest.net and speedtest.net
    • Shows your ping at the time and the chance for fluctuation
  • Chat while in the champion loading screen
    • Click the Riot icon while in the taskbar
  • “Firewall” issue
    • Usually happens if you alt-tab before the champion loading screen begins
    • Using the reconnect button generally won’t solve the issue, the client will just crash again
    • Your best bet is to exit the client and then go back in
  • Skip queue to re-enter game immediately (if game crashes while there is upload/queue)
    • Navigate to C:Riot GamesLeague of LegendsRADSsolutionslol_game_client_slnrelease s.0.0.xxxdeploy(This is the default directory) and click League of Legends.exe
