Riot seriously?

So why do the servers go down in league of legends a lot I cant even login right now. Seriously I spend money on this game and they cant even get their servers running without them coming down every month or so, that's just ridiculous. Ive seriously thought about just quitting league.

Heyas! Really sorry for this. We have our teams looking into it as we speak.

Thanks for catching on to this so quick (it was literally less than 5mins after the mass connection issues you guys posted the notice) and working on it, we appreciate it :)

It's a federal issue, and the FBI will go after them if Riot chooses to get involved, but I believe the minimum is $5,000 worth of damages to classify it as such.

You got Ddos again? Man all this money you worthless ass clowns are making and you can't protect your own servers? Kind of pathetic.

You dont understand how a DDOS works do you...

Lewd Arctic Fox1 votes

This is why DDOS attacks hurt so much... its more often just idiots like this that freak out and think that its something RIOT can actually fix themselves. People need to understand that there is NO WAY to defend a server against a DDOS attack. To stop it you would have to make the server stop receiving information, witch doesn't help anything. They could wait like that for the attack to stop but all the hackers would have to do after the server is back up is restart the attack.

Hey Riot Sotere, can you please check my discussion about this? Bugsplats and game crashing and reconnecting issues. Please!

The issues you mention in that thread seem distinct from the server issues we're seeing today.

Suggest you might find something to help out here: https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201761974 . If nothing helps resolve the issues, submit a ticket. Our teams can usually see what happened with a bugsplat if you provide them with the right files. Freezes are often a it trickier because logs aren't always created. ;(

Good luck. Sucks having issues preventing you from enjoying the game.

ChickenMaster251 votes

Thanks! Btw do I just have to click submit the bugsplat report? If no, which files should I provide?

P.S: so my game and computer crashing is part of the server issues? Cause it had been happening since 3 days ago. I'm scared it may be my computer, but idk, because my computer never freezes ever before, and only started freezing three days ago only when I'm playing League of Legends in Patch 6.18

Please help, Thanks!

Nope it's definitely something different. The link has the files you should add. Think it's r3d log, dxdiag, and one other.

Random question... Will we get an announcement why the client reverted back? After the hacks. Thanks

Since League has been down for quite a few players, will this affect the bonus IP weekend?

It's a free to play game, doesn't require you to spend a cent to play. And the money you do spend isn't in exchange for their servers to be up 24/7, it's for stuff in game...

I mean it was funny when Barret spoke like that.

The online interactions may not be rated but I can keep what I do or say along the theme of the game.

Its always funny reading the comments of these kinds of threads "ERMERGERD RITO WHY CANT YOU STOP DDOSING FROM HAPPENING" "ITS ALMOST LIKE YOU CAN PREDICT WHEN ITS GOING TO HAPPEN" Seriously grow up Nobody knew this shit was gunna happen so cut them some slack the money you put into the game is what gets the servers back up and running quicker

While the servers are down you could be doing tons of things such as cleaning your email or updating your resume maybe play some WoW or OVerwatch or perhaps begin your adventure in a new MMORPG

instead of whining go do something productive God damn

GeneralHawkeye1 votes

to be fair i dont think the outrage expressed is necessarily because someone has nothing else better to do. it is the fact that a group of individuals is doing something illegal and getting away with it. hacking is a concern to any gamer no matter the platform or game

I understand them being mad at the hackers but read what the original poster wrote just some kid with nothing better to do so he complains " WOW I DESERVE TO PLAY NOW I PAID MONEY FOR INGAME CONTENT " " CONNECT ME NOW "

What part of " LoL is being DDOS'd " does he not understand

Its not Riot's fault for them being ddos'd by some jackass that has nothing better to do

GeneralHawkeye1 votes

haha yeah that kid is being ridiculous. no reason to even throw out that comment on spending money. obviously you have the freedom to spend your money as you please and shouldnt cry about it after. thats what grown ups do anyways.:}}

Lewd Arctic Fox1 votes

LOL people and their primitive non-computer minds... DDOS cant be prevented or stopped by any server in the world... and besides the fact, what Demon King Maou just said is something a lot of people should incorporate into their lives, its called having a life outside your game!

ugh... plz fix this.. I got disconnected from my game. tried 3/4 times to reconnect but it failed. Restarted game.. Now I cannot log back in. and this is a ranked game in my promos.. and they are still playing but I'm locked out.. Getting leaver or a loss would be really unfair. This is really sad.

Are you mentally retarded? NA server being DDOS. Sometimes servers need to be shut down from time to time for maintenance and upgrades.

well i have no idea how ddos works so im not a tech savvy person, so what? can you tell me what the friction loss and PDP in a 1 3/4 line with a low pressure nozzle putting out 200 gpm with a length of 200 ft is? just saying im not a tech savvy person nor are you a fire man so i dont think you would be able to tell me the answer to that, just like i said if i play a game on my spare time and i spend money on i think its my right to complain every now and then
