One of the most frustrating errors that could pop up as you are waiting to load into your important ranked game or play a few casual games with your friends is the 'Your match will start soon' error in League of Legends. Unfortunately, this error has been around in the game for quite a few years now. What this essentially does is that, it prevents you from loading into the game despite you and your teammates having picked your respective champions.
In essence, the League of Legends 'Your match will start soon' error pops up after champ select and as players wait to enter the Summoner's Rift.
Here's all we know about it and a few possible methods to try and rectify this error.
What Is the ‘Your match will soon Start' error in LoL? Can You Fix It?
What players need to understand is that this error does not let both the teams play the intended game. It simply holds the players hostage after champ select and most players, after waiting for a solid few minutes, end up leaving the game by closing the client.
It was reported a few years back. The notification simply reads, "[System Notification] Your match will start soon. Please wait as we load up your game. This process should not take more than a few minutes."
Three years ago, a Reddit thread highlighted this issue. The original poster wrote, "I'm trying to play ranked on EUNE and basically we are stuck in lobby for 10 minutes (all 10 players). Does anyone else have this issue? Please answer quickly before a janny sees my post and deletes it :("
One League player said, "I remember this issue in NA back in 2014 it was so funny after 30min load everyone yelled FREEEEEDOM."
However, players should bear in mind that this is something that is not under their control at all. This is so because the 'Your match will start soon’ error is tied to the game’s servers. Whenever there is a server outage on Riot Games' end, this error pops up for players, especially for those who are about to load into a match.
You can still try to exit the League of Legends client and log in again. This will cause the game to reload and possibly let you load into the match that you and your friends or teammates are trying to connect to.
