Title. This isn't a DDOS. PoodleCorp is a lying shit and you shouldn't be trusting them when first off if you check server status there is supposed to be a maintenance right now, and second, accoring to another board-user, Riot themselves said they would take the servers down for maintenance. Not a DDOS. It's technically a bugfix.
Edit: the game works now. Stop complaining?
poodlecorp has done this in the past too
The game will be unavailable from 04:00 to 07:00 (PDT) on 08/03 for maintenance.
Right now is 9:29 PM 8/2/2016
dude did u not see the alert by riot, this is not simple maintenance.
"We're aware of a problem causing players to disconnect from their games, and have disabled ranked queues while we investigate"
It says PDT. If it was GMT, you wouldn't be able to get past the launcher seeing as how the server would be unavailable.
