Here is a weird workaround someone suggested. And It works.

@EA_BlueberryCan you please pass this info to devs so it can help in debugging

I can also confirm that alt-tabbing and having the game minimized during champ select and banner splash screens appears to bypass whatever is causing the crash

This is getting worse everyday. Already 3 crashes today. Alt tabbing doesnt help here. Afraid to play ranked because of the random crash. No error report, just get stuck either in character selection or immediately after it. Have not experienced this before this week, something must've broke in the code. It's not in my end seeing how common this problem is for many people.

The team is still looking into this, however this is interesting.
Can you all report back with results on whether you avoid crashes switching to a different datacenter? Let us know which datacenter you're crashing on and if you were able to avoid crashes by switching please include the one you switched to.Has anyone found success avoiding crashes by uninstalling Nvidia software like what helped this player out with crashes? I haven't seen this step mentioned in a lot of replies here.

Thanks! Is there any way you or someone else here can provide us a recorded clip on when it exactly freezes up so the team knows what exact point it occurs at?
- 6 years ago@EA_Blueberry i could do that, just tried three server Amsterdam, Belgium gce1, abd frankfurt 1 crashed on all of them, like 2nd or 3rd game on each
