Riot, if this firewall issue is not being fixed in a timely manner, please turn on Loss Forgiven

We've got both these login issues and these firewall issues, and I'm basically kicked out of a match because of it. This seems to be happening a LOT right now, not just to me.

Since your connections are being sh!tty, you need to press the "Loss Forgiven" button. It is simply not fair to be getting losses because it's impossible to get connected.

It's leave buster they should disable, like if i get banned for their bugs that would just be unfair, and unfair to people who have given money to the company. I am having the problem as we speak

This is Riot's fault, yes, we get it. Stop playing until they fix the issue. Going back in knowing it'll happen again is only going to make you upset.

Maybe we don't want to stop playing right now.

If you want to play knowing you'll only get pissed off and have a terrible experience, be my guest.

Are we supposed to just stop playing for weeks? The status update was from the 16th. This has been happening for over seven days. Other than "velkoz is disabled and oh yeah we know about some firewall thingy being a problem" we have zero indication of any effort to change the situation.

Alternatively, and rationally, riot could put us all on better footing by 1) changing the error messages to be more meaningful and not one which implies the problem is on YOUR end rather than THEIRS 2) turning on loss forgiven 3) if someone is in a promotion series and gets dumped due to this, put them back in it.

These things aren't impossible, and don't require a budget suitable for landing on the moon. As it stands it just seems like riot doesn't even give a damn.

How long the issue goes on is not up to you or me. The only thing we can control is how much we let it piss us off. If you want to feel like punching your monitor as you get demoted, feel free to keep playing in spite of the fact you know there is an ongoing issue.

Seriously. Grow up and make the adult choice. Take a break from LoL.

You're being obnoxiously presumptuous. Who are you to tell others to "grow up"? How is expecting a company which is a service provider to provide a quality experience being childish, precisely? Obviously we have no control over fixing the problem. No one suggested we were frothing at the mouth and punching monitors, stop being ridiculous.

It is not unreasonable to expect a company to make adjustments when it is clear they are not providing a quality service. You're being obtuse.

You don't get what I'm saying.

I'm not telling people not to expect better from Riot, or that what is going on is ok.

What I am saying is that nothing you can do will help, and having a hissy fit over it only hurts you and nobody else.

Yet again; If you want to cause problems for yourself and get angry, feel free. But you are not helping the situation and you are only being annoying by ranting about it.

I understand precisely what you're saying. I'm just not acquiescing to your facetious comments. You can hold the opinion that people shouldn't complain, but that isn't our opinion, and we will be heard. If you don't like that: tough, don't read it. No one forced you into this thread, and no one is making you hit reply.

Didn't say you didn't have the right to be a whining crybaby. As a matter of fact I specifically said to feel free to have a hissy fit multiple times. Telling me you wont stop crying won't make your crying any better, so I don't know why you're defending it.

Epigraph1 votes

You're doing nothing but proving that you're an asshole. Repeatedly trying to insinuate someone is childish and being rude for no reason isn't accomplishing anything. Can you not see the absurd irony in your behavior as it relates to your generalizations?

Deep Terror Nami2 votes

I'm not insinuating. People crying while knowing full well it won't help and is only annoying is childish.

Keep trying to turn it on me in order to justify whining, that really makes the whining so much more helpful.

I had a game where everyone but one person DCed on my team. (http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1672923998/208317831?tab=overview) Me and my duo partner tried 20 times to get back in, but it never happened. Lose prevent needs to be on, unless Riot fixes it 100%. And I wanna honor the Singed on my team. I don't know who he was but he was in a 1v4, and needs a hug.

Im a LEAVER. my account will be banned if it continues.... GOD 2 GAMEs already UPDATE: YES THIS IS THE THIRD ONE.

My name is Sora2 votes

Agree, this sucks big time. Spent like 20 min trying to get in. No success.

Eleshakai2 votes

Sorry, even if it is Riot's fault, by leaving a game you are officially designated as leaver scum and thus deserve punishment and no longer deserve to have an opinion.

Yea this error is bullshit. I was unable to connect to a game repeatedly. So I took all the steps released, renewed, flushd and even ran league in adminstator mode. Didnt work. Logon to my other account, able to join a custom game. Had no problems with this before this game. This problem is very clearly on riots end.

We still cannot go into games. I thought the server went down to fix that very same issue but it still happens right now. I login, queue, go into a game and crash at game loading screen complaining about the firewall

what firewall issue??? (impersonating random riot employee)

:P But for real, Rito, fix this shit already!

At a minimum turn off leave buster. I just attempted to play my promotion series, but nope, instead I get a recommendation to check my firewall for 20 minutes followed by a leave and a lost promotion.

The message you receive from this bug is so obnoxious as well -- rather than implying it's a problem on my end, which it obviously is not, how about you change it to say "hey, sorry, our shit isn't working right now. try again later."
