Mass disconnections in multiple games.

Hi.

Today I've been playing often, and have noticed something rather strange. Over the past 10 matches that I've participated, 6 have experienced mass synchronized disconnections. Synchronized meaning that when the disconnections occur, 2-3 people at once will disconnect and not be able to return. Only one player has returned from these disconnections over the 6 matches and said he received a Bugsplat. Within those 6 matches, if my memory serves me correctly, my team was doing well before this occurred. However that is not the case throughout all the matches. The point and question I am raising is a simple one:

Are these mass synchronized disconnections due to Riot's servers failing, or is it something out of Riot's control such as a 3rd party program?

Thanks. - Taoma

Might be something called a drophack. Basically a person on the enemy team uses a third party program to a) disconnect everybody and make the game dissapear from the records, thus no lp loss OR b) disconnect players on your team in order to give them a numbers advantage in a game they would've lost.

So probably a third party hack.

Most likely enemy drophacks

I may have the same problem but every RANKED game i play right now, there's always at least someone afk/dc and unable to comeback. lost a few games because of this possible server prob
