Simple... like all game servers(and really, all servers in general), there are multiple components. You're able to connect to the authentication server, but not a different part of the server. Possibly the client server, or possibly the game server itself.

Unless there's some widespread issue going on right now, it's most likely a settings issue either on your firewall, anti-virus, or router... but there could be a major issue happening - I don't really pay attention to that side of things since I stopped playing.

However if there's no 'known issue', then I'd say start by disabling fw/av and bypassing router if you want to try to diagnose this.

I agree with this guy. Apart from any 3rd party fire wall you may be running (norton, avg, etc.) There is also, firewalls on your router, windows firewall (garbage), and windows defender that can cause this kind of issue. Granted, the microsoft firewalls should not be causing these kind of issues, but a block could have have occurred due to a combination of programs (including 3rd party firewalls) modifying incoming packets that caused them to suddenly be considered "suspicious"

If you do nothing, this will likely remain a problem until you patch and the version number associated with your client updates. Ironically to speed up this process, you could just take the long step of uninstalling/reinstalling. If the updated version number from a recent patch is what suddenly caused this "suspicious" behavior (firewall says "hey, that's not the LoL I said ok to" after an update) then you'll have to reinstall either way.

Though a more permanent solution would be to turn off all firewalls and attempt to reproduce the issue with none (should not be successful i.e. you should be able to play with out a problem). Then reproduce while enabling them one by one to see which one is being a butthole.

You shouldn't need to worry about getting a virus while you have the firewalls down unless you already have one, or if you start visiting questionable (porn) sites before turning at least one back on.

Also, bringing down a 3rd party firewall means uninstalling it completely since using the disable feature does not stop the back ground services that would be causing the problem to begin with. A lot of 3rd party antivirus programs use malware techniques that will not allow you to uninstall with windows, so you may need to download an uninstaller from the 3rd party antivirus website.
