League-of-legends – Launch the legacy client as default

league-of-legends

I updated my client to the new one and I like it, but I'm encountering some performance issues.

It always takes long to choose the bans or the champion that I want to play, which sometimes makes it look like I'm AFK in the champion selection.

I know that I can launch the legacy client here:

Is there any way to put the legacy client as default? Or do I always need to launch this client first and then go to the old one?

Taken from this Reddit post (also in this Boards post):

  1. Make sure League of Legends or any of its processes aren't running.
  2. Go to C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\System
  3. Open user.cfg
  4. Change leagueClientOptIn = yes to: leagueClientOptIn = no
  5. Save user.cfg and close it
  6. Enjoy the faster log-in process

Although there are some users who still have problems with this option, it seems to work for the majority of people
