League of Legends players are growing increasingly frustrated as promised updates to improve the game’s client have yet to be delivered. In 2019, Riot Games announced the Client Cleanup Project, vowing to enhance performance and address longstanding issues. However, two years later, players claim little progress has been made, and the developers have remained silent.
A Reddit thread on September 18th highlighted the disappointment felt by players, with many expressing their frustration over recent bugs and crashes in the client. Despite the Client Cleanup Project launched in August 2021, significant improvements have been lacking, leaving players skeptical about the future of the project.
The League client has long been criticized for its performance issues, and while Riot Games made some changes in August 2021, subsequent updates have been minimal. The promised focus on improving reliability and performance has not materialized, leading players to question whether the project has been abandoned.
Players speculate that the team responsible for the project may no longer be working at Riot Games, further fueling doubts about its future. With the 2023 World Championship approaching and Season 13 coming to an end, players hope for a significant update during the next pre-season.
