I froze up on the loading screen completely with 60% done. I closed the client and let it reconnect me. That has worked in the past. I loaded ok, but when it took me to the fountain I didnt see either my champ or my teamates. There was nothing i could do at all. At this point I closed the whole thing down to reload, and figured I would get into the game a few minutes behind. Instead the whole season 3 patch began to redownload.

10 minutes in so far. looks like its going to redo the whole thing

hmm, I believe I was incorrect. Looking at what its downloading, it seems its re-downloading the game itself
