Anyone else experiencing slow load times when launching the game? This happened to me around mid December and I'm still experiencing it for some unknown reason.

What do guys think? I think having all the buddies from all the ranks below the highest rank you achieve would be better but at least having all the ones you ranked up from would be a nice little touch for RIOT to give

Please help me. I just wanna solo queue most of the time but my friends message me every time I am online in the game. They also just play for fun when in parties which I do not really like since I like to play seriously.
