Hey Riot!

Just a suggestion from me. Wasn't entirely sure which board to put this thread in so I hope it's in the right place.

After scouring a bucket full of forums, I've been troubleshooting an issue and it required me to re-install League of Legends. All right, if that's the only fix, I'll do it. So after that, I run into some more issues. Search more forums, gotta re-install. Huh? Well, okay. I guess I'll do it again. Another 3.3 gigabyte patch? Well... if it's the difference between playing LoL or not, I suppose I have no choice. Then something else happened, it worked for a bit, then it error-ed, search the forums and what do you know, I have to re-install LoL.

So I'm not complaining about all the errors, I get that stuff happens some times and I'm sure half the time, it was me making a stupid mistake that led to me having to re-install. What does trouble me though is the 10 gigabytes I spent re-installing it.

I can safely say our internet over here in Australia is years behind America, Europe and most of the major countries in Asia, so 10 gigabytes in a period of a few days is quite significant, both in time and in bandwidth (unlimited bandwidth per month is uncommon in Australia). So the suggestion I want to pose is the possibility of an option so that when you begin installing, you can choose to save the install files on the drive somewhere permanently. This would help serve people who need to re-install due to bugs, or those who get a new system and need to re-install LoL on the new system but don't want to re-download it. And of course, for the people that don't want to fill up their hard drive and don't care about re-downloading it can just un-check the option to save the files.

Anyway, just seemed like a convenient idea. Thought I'd share it. For all I know, I'm retarded and it does save the install files somewhere... or something. I don't know.

Thanks for your time, and if my final attempt at troubleshooting this issue fails, you can expect a bug report from me later on!
