The firewall bug is widespread. I'm in plat and at least 1/10 games has one or two dc's. I personallly could not connect the last two ranked games ruining my promos. Many people are complaining about this and yet Riot ignores us. At least a sorry would be nice instead of fix firewall pls.item 3070

To acknowledge they have a problem, they must have a plan to fix the problem.

The one part time worker they have in charge of fixing client issues, server issues, and balancing Anivia called in sick a couple days ago so unfortunately it could be several weeks before he gets around to fixing the firewall issue.

To be fair, they have acknowledged it here and here.

.. not that it seems to have helped matters much.

Catch-22. Don´t acknowledge it, get raged at; acknowledge it, get raged at. Their best option would be to just say nothing and fix the problem, and use the resources they would have sent to explain to the problem to us, for making it up to us, (i.e. free RP or a 10-win IP boost or something... #URFpermanentgamemode).

Because they are no longer a trustworthy company... Vote with your wallet, don't buy any more RP.

I fixed this problem for my Oceania server by updating my ethernet drivers and using this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/299357

But this solution still does not solve my NA account problem.

My OCEANIA WORKS BUT NA STILL DONT:(
