A common technical issue prevents players from transitioning from the champion select screen to the actual gameplay environment. This problem manifests as a prolonged loading screen, a black screen, or an outright game crash, effectively blocking access to the match.
The inability to enter a game negatively impacts player experience, potentially leading to penalties for inactivity or abandonment. Furthermore, it disrupts the competitive integrity of the game and may cause frustration within teams relying on a full roster. Historically, this problem has been attributed to various factors, including client-side issues, network connectivity problems, and server-side instability.
