Supposedly it's happening on other regions as well. I wonder if this issue is gonna keep happening until the patch scheduled for July 18.

Just happened to me, entire enemy team did not connect. My team had to log out of league then relog back in to make the game.

You would not believe how frustrated i was thinking i was about to get a LeaverBuster restriction before I noticed everyone was having this issue XD

The best part was being stuck at the 0-second mark before the game...and all of us just sort of remarking uncomfortably.

We were hanging out for a good minute or two before finally getting booted with the useless error message.

I personally cannot even create a game using the practice tool, it just says "We encountered an unexpected error trying to start your game." Any other game I've tried to join (only ARAM so far) have said "Sorry, we were unable to start your game." item 3070

Ah well, guess its just the servers :^]

I just want to play! >:( Maybe it's because of 8.14 patch?

MrButtBiscuitII7/16/2018, 11:37:45 PM1 votes

Will attempting to queue up but fail multiple times, result in a 20 minute ban?

DatProZoe7/17/2018, 9:34:39 PM1 votes

When it says sorry we were unable to start your game does it say it to everyone in your game or just you?

Why did this randomly start up again on a non-patch day? Nothing was even implemented yet. Small Indie Company, back at it again.
