So apparently you can DDos people through the Riot client

I just got completely locked out from a game and then got back in after it was over. I had the qualifier stream running in the background and loaded several websites in the meanwhile so it was 100% not on my end

Good game you got there Riot, I don't have skype or anything similar opened and people can still grap ips and ddos through the league client? Competitive Integrity I guess

  1. If it was a DoS or DDoS, you would not have been able to load any of those websites. The term means denial of service (or distributed denial of service), because it denies you access to your internet service - if you were a victim of DoS or DDoS, your network card would be so flooded with packets that it would be unable to process any of them correctly.
  2. Just because you can connect to other sites doesn't mean it's not a problem on your end. It simply means it's a problem that doesn't affect those sites.

This post is just mindless QQ. If you were booted from the game yet you could still load websites - clearly this is an error on Riot's side or your connection to Riot's server (Which, don't get me wrong, is a problem... but not DDoS). You should send your logs to support and see if they can tell you what happened.

You absolutely can not grab IPs via the client, because you and everyone else in the game aren't connected to eachother, you're connected to Riot. And Riot is the middleman between you both. You send packets to the server and it processes them and sends them to all the other players in the game.

So apparently you have no idea what you are talking about So apparently you have no proof of DDOS to your client So apparently you just needed some excuse for fail
