As mentioned in another thread, this is not a Riot Games policy, but rather a restriction placed due to current US laws and regulations that Riot -- as a US company -- is required to follow. This unfortunately impacts the players, Riot, and everyone who enjoys League in that area, and I think we'll all hopeful that the political problems that caused this (which, as per board rules, are not acceptable discussion here) are resolved in such a way that everyone in that area can have access to League again.

I came here to see if my fellow Iranians said some thing here as well.

Wrong. Governments are chosen by the people.

Which is worse? Not being able to play LoL or getting Nuked?

We must thank god for banning. Now you can do something in your life. My pc gets broken 2 months ago and I couldn't play league anymore that's completely change my life. Screw all Americans companies they just lie it can't be just following the rules. Steam is an American company so as Microsoft, Google and bunch of others why they didn't ban our ip? If they somehow make money from us or getting data about us then we are a good people otherwise we are a bunch of terrorists.

I'm so sorry you can't play because of this stupid ideological shit and because we have a rampant narcissist in the oval office who gets his fragile feelings hurt so easily that he's willing to do this, (let alone try to stage something to justify attacking you). I'm sorry for the "bad actors" in my country that seem hell-bent on war with Iran to the point where they are willing to exert petty pressure like this.

If nothing will change, use VPN or accept that you can't play it anymore. Sorry, but there is nothing you can do.

Your only option is a VPN but that might have a knock on effect of absolutely blasting your ping to kingdom come.

Closing this thread, as it's unfortunately posted in the wrong section. Future threads with this topic should be directed to General Discussion.
