League‘s Hextech Repair Tool is an automated troubleshooting program that helps with re-installation, re-downloading patches, making sure your firewall works with the game, and also keeps you up-to-date with any ongoing problems that might be affecting your specific region.

There is also a way to test your ping, gather any system logs needed, and even sync your computer’s system clock so you are aligned with the League servers and any planned updates. You can choose any of these options before running the Hextech Repair Tool, and the program will help repair any files that have been lost or broken along the way.

If the repair tool doesn’t work, however, you can grab your system logs and send in a quick report to the support team on the official Riot support page.
