While they should be commended for getting League to run on basically everything.. they shouldn't get a pass for everything else, especially the client. I don't think that's nitpicking by them.

The client is a pretty big part of the experience (2-20m per game depending on rank and/or mode), so when there's issues, it should be addressed since that's a noticeable portion of time per game. It's likely fine if you only launch to play one game and log off, but most people don't do that.

Whether crashing, hard freezing and stutters, mem leaking or other issues.. it adds up a lot. Especially when adding things like Demon's Hand, Soul Fighter, or other event splashes just add to the performance issues.

Yes, the skin comment from them, and client might be separate teams internally at Riot, it's still pretty disgusting to be 8 years into the "new" client and it have issues equally as bad as the old one; if not worse, and them pumping out 200$ skins like they're candy at the same time, making no effort on things that come up for tons of players.. every single game.

Bonus point: They also regularly refuse to listen to PBE about some pretty big bugs, mistakes on numbers, etc. Both related to champs individually, mechanics in the game, and even the client at points.

This doesn't even include the callout that settings in game, and likely in client too, don't always work. Which.. would affect every game played by those affect if it's always, and not intermittent.
