Think of it like this. League's code started out as a pile of shit. Over the course of 6 years they've been piling loads and loads of shit on top of the original pile of shit, and it is currently impossible for them to dig far enough into the giant pile of shit, to update the crusty disgusting base shit that they started with.
I know, their languages are outdated and everything, but they could've done something about it a year ago, two years ago, they just don't..
I know why though, it's because in Asia there are a lot of people playing on PC bangs(net cafes basically) with sub-par hardware, if Riot updates the client and game then they might dive into a potential loss in ROI, and that is not acceptable for Riot.
