Frequently when loading the game instead of popping up on the same monitor(Display 1) as the pvp.net client it will load between the 2. This seems to happen when pvp.net client looses focus just as the game starts. Normally this isn't to much of an issue as long as I remember to have pvp.net as focus but other programs sometimes steal focus or I alt tab right before a game. I'm then stuck having to restart the whole client and being late into game.

I have found a work-around without having to close the client, even though it shouldn't be necessary (read: the game should accommodate for players with multiple monitors, even if the game doesn't run on multiple monitors)
Note: I generally have this issue when I set my Windowed Mode to Borderless in the Options menu. If it's set to Fullscreen, I never have encountered this...however, the steps below should be valid as a workaround regardless.

1) Unfortunately, you must wait until the match loads...I have not found a way to get to the Options window from the load screen. Once the match loads, press ESC to get to the Options menu.
2) Then, move the Options window to the second monitor (this step is only necessary if you cannot see the Back button at the bottom of the Options window).
3) Click Video and change the Windowed Mode to Windowed and click Back. That should move the entire game to your primary monitor.
4) Then you can change the type to Borderless if you want to. But just remember, this will most likely cause you to repeat all these steps each and every time you start a new game.

The issue is still something the developers should be working on, but at least we have a way to resolve without re-launching the client.

This happens to me as well.
I have mine set on full screen so the game sometimes loads in between my two screens.
The way I fix it, is by setting the Taskbar to "Auto hide the Taskbar" ( Right-click, properties).
This works fine for me and you don't have to wait for the game to load. You can set it back after it fixes but if you're going to be playing multiple games, I suggest leaving it on for the next game because changing it back will fix it again.

I've run into this issue so often it's starting to negatively affect my laning phase as a whole. It's really bad for me because it loads in between and below, only showing about the top half or so. If I want to fix this with the options menu, I have to put the top bar above the top of the League window, not allowing me to move it any further or access the top option. The other option is to alt-F4 and relog, but that usually takes about 4 retries due to the game crashing in the loading screen (it only crashes after I have done this)

If some red could see this and work on a fix, that'd be great

I too get this issue. Thankfully others are having also, so I know it's not just a random mistake w/my drivers/monitors/desktop setup. Any word on a fix for this?
