Anyone figure out why moving the mouse over the passive would cause the lockup?

Same here. Also started at the same time. I've jus' bit my lip and dealt with it so far, but now that I'm gettin' into ranked games, it's becomming more and more of a problem since our opponents are equal in skill with us now, and every kill/death counts.

Also experiencing abysmal load times.

I've experienced this since the launcher was changed, and I have to say, it is very frustrating. I have received several leaves because as of late, it has become almost impossible for me to even load into a match.

So if i put the cursor over the passive it will automatically cause this glitch so i can have a glitch free game ?

*UPDATE*

I use Kaspersky as my AV. I added an exception to my LoL folder and the Freezing/Load times were fixed. I think it's something to do with Adobe Air. Just like every other problem >_>

I use Kaspersky as well. How did you add it to your exception folder? I thought I had done it but maybe not.

Didn't work. LOL was already on my trusted list. Adobe is trusted to. Is there a difference from trusted/exception?

LOL was in, I added Adobe AIR. Most heroes I still get the freeze over passive. Some heroes now, I get the freeze when I move the mouse over the + symbols for leveling up.
