Title.

This is a more preemptive post to what will probably lead to a bugsplat the next time we play a game, at which point I'll report the details there, but I was just wondering what happens when players aren't able to connect due to...well, bullshit like that.

I just wanted to play Jax, don't leave me on a black screen for 10 minutes Q.Q

Same issue. Finally reconnected 30 min in and played hell catching up just to get a leaver buster warning anyway. Not fair imo, but what does riot care?

The fire wall thing is a result of a specific type of ddos and appears when someone in your game uses malicious software to cause you to crash and be unable to join the game

9/10 this bug only happens when you are alt tabbing or using another window during the transition from champion select to the loading screen.. make sure you are completely in the loading screen before attempting to use your other windows. ALSO if you get this bug, best way to fix is to quickly close the client completely and reload.. if your pc is fast enough, you will get back into the loading screen before the game starts. Hope this helps until riot fixes... they have a lot of bugs on their plate these last few patches.
