Riot, what is up with your servers?

I was sitting at my usual 107 latency prior to patching. I'm now anywhere from 400-4000ms. What gives?

I'm not having these problems with any other game servers, and I've attached a speed test image of tests I just took for those that will suggest it's my connection.

Fact: I have lower ping to Madagascar than I do to Riot. Fact: Paint.net lacks auto-correct.

Ughh, the uneducated buffoons who do not understand networking. When trying to connect with a server it goes through a series of many complex things that I myself can hardly find a way to explain to a lesser creature. Check your ports, firewalls, etc. Typically it is something on your end when there is no alert of the launchers' page. With new updates comes a new file that could cause an issue, what will happen is eventually they read reports and crash reports and try fixing it, don't be so quick to blame and understand that you are the problem.

Remember that time when MadManApocalypse posted before reading the thread? I do. I guess the fact that I have normal latency with any other game server doesn't demonstrate that my end isn't the issue.

Fact: I have the ports league uses prioritized on my router. Fact: Firewalls are a waste of resources most of the time.

Man, it's strange. My packets go through "a series of many complex things" to every other server just fine. The only place there is an issue is with League, so things are probably on my end... Your logic is outstanding.
