DCing and having to reconnect

scrdudezoo1··27 votes·2,456 views

Me and several of my friends have been playing league recently, and have been constantly dcing and having to reconnect. All of us have been reported by other members of the league community, and we all thought that it would be good to spread awareness to riot. Please comment if you are having similar issues, and help fix the problems. Other teams have also been having issues. Please fix ASAP.

WTFast gaming VPN works for me atm, but I dont want to have to use it past the 30 day trial, because it's kinda expensive.

RIOT: If players need 3rd party software to play your game, you done fucked up.

I am having the exact same problem and I am getting extremely frustrated to the point that I am getting tired of playing league and am considering not playing League of Legends anymore because of this huge issue.

as soon as game starts 500ping attempting to reconnect.... you leave an try again crashes during loading screen n reconnects you hella late by then its gg wp report you . Your summoner has been suspended for leaving games if this is a result of a technical problem pls visit the support page. You do, you submit a ticket n it's the same generic bullshit response tht doesn't help.

Bump and upvote, I'm having this issue too.

Ping spikes up to over 1k briefly, then the "attempting to reconnect" window pops up even though I'm concurrently chatting on Skype with no problems. Only solution is to leave the game and reload, and even then it often crashes while trying to reconnect.

Yeah I am having extreme frame drops and my league has crashed 4 games in a row. 3 games I had to literally unplug my desktop because league froze and I couldn't get out of it. I am mad at riot D:

Just had this happen and it cost me a game where I was 12/1 and winning would have gotten me into series because I couldnt even play. Its extremely frustrating and making me not want to play very much.

Just wondering if you and your friends are on somewhat the same connection? if so, then league is kicking you for having somewhat the same IP. My college been having issues with league and the people who play on campus had to get program to get league to stop kicking them off. Apparently league thinks the same IP = one person.

Yeah, this has been happening to me too lately. Right after minions spawn my ping shoots up to 500 and stays there and it'll always say "attempting to reconnect" but really, it won't. When I try logging out and logging back on or reloading the game, it either says "this game has crashed, try to reattempt to connect" or I'll be able to reconnect for about 10 seconds of the game before I have to experience disconnect city again.

plz this problem has been going for so long that it means riot will never do shit about it. unless u walk into their building and point out the problem right in front of them they'll never fix it. riot does have its good points every now and again, but will shit like this they've never met the expectations of the community. half the time they wont even acknowledge the problem exists. to be honest the whole department that deals with this stuff needs to get their heads out of their asses and get to fucking work. cuz ik everyone, myself included, is etting sick and tired of this

I'm having the same issue of disconnecting (which won't automatically reconnect no matter how long you wait) and having to manually reconnect. Haven't been able to play ranked because of this problem for a while now.

Riot, why would an new player would want to play a game where they can't even finish a game and getting reported for something that is clearly not their fault?

Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling LoL? That worked for me.
