Demoted to Silver after NA Server problems.

I was playing a game while at 0 LP in Gold V when the servers started acting up. Everybody in my game was complaining, reddit posts were being made, and even friends in separate games had been disconnecting. It got to a point where my entire team could not move, and theirs managed to get clicks off on our towers. We lost immediately after disconnecting, and I was sent back to Silver I. I really think that this deserves to be a loss prevented, so I'll play it safe by not playing further until I am responded to.

I was in my Promos to get into Plat 5 and 3 of us had connection issues and only 1 of them had the same problem... It was not my internet/router/modem/computers fault and i believe Rito should do lose prevention We were not in the lead but we were making a comeback and the Rito decides to screw us out of our chances to win

One loss doesn't get you demoted from Gold to Silver. You have to have an MMR that puts you in the range of low silver first.

LoL NA & OCE are currently experiencing technical difficulties. Riot is aware and working to resolve them. Apologies for the inconvenience. Loss Forgiven may or may not have been enabled at the time of your match.

Looks like you'll have to pay that elobooster some more money.

Looked at your match history... You were definitely headed for a demotion. Yes, it's unfortunate that the match that demoted you was the one where the server was acting up, but I wouldn't go as far as blaming that on why you got demoted. It takes a significant amount of losses to get demoted between major ranks, ie. gold to silver.

With that being said, you're better off just playing and getting back to Gold instead of waiting for a response from Riot (which you probably won't get one). Going from Silver 1 to Gold V should easily be doable in 1-3 days depending on your luck with teams.
