We were winning a ranked match, then game disconnects and there's no record of it at all.

Literally right now, I was playing a ranked game in Plat 1 39 LP, NA server. Match was:

Malphite, Xin Zhao, Taliyah, Lucian, Zyra (Me) VS Akali, Ivern, Vladimir, Brand and Vayne

We were doing very well, in fact it was probably my best game of the season so far. And all of a sudden, right after we take baron and kill most of them, my game appears to be disconnecting, even though I still had internet. I try closing the game to re-connect, and instead it brings me back to the client and there's no record at all of the game happening, no replay, match history. I just remember the IGN name of our Lucian "Our SUP Blows" (Edit: he just changed to Our Adc Blows).

The reason why I don't post this in "Report a Bug" is because this was clearly an intentional drophack, exactly like the ones I experienced more frequently a few years ago and were confirmed by Riot. It hasn't happened ever since until today.

This is very frustrating, not just because we were winning and I was doing great, but because it appears there's no evidence at all of this game happening. I wonder if Riot or any of you guys know about any place where it would leave other temporary files.

Hope this doesn't happen to other people, have a good week everyone,

Hello, I was also a player on the winning team (lucian) I changed my IGN to "Our adc blows" but yes I can confirm this happened. We literally were running down mid to end the game and the entire game crashed and there is no record of it afterwards

One other member of the team that was about to win was "Parasitism" which was the malphite top lane that I was duo'd with

Same exact thing just happened to me, i was playing brand. The match is gone, absolutly no history it happened. Is this a brand bug?

Highly doubt it's a Brand bug, I have faced dozens of brands this last week and nothing like that happened. The game also disconnected after we took Baron and killed them, right before we were going to end. Same exact thing as when drophackers used to do it back then, as a last resort to avoid LP loss.

If only I could at least add my teammates, but they don't appear anywhere in recently played and I can't remember their names.

Sounds terrible. Im not entirely sure what a 'drophack' is but im assuming someone crashed the game to avoid a loss..?

Yeah, the person losing runs a certain script or software that crashes the game and erases it for everyone to avoid the LP loss, as a last resort. I'm 99% sure this is the case from the timing % circumstances, and due to no one else reporting a crash at the same time as us. It's super frustrating because there are no records or evidence at all of the game happening.
