IS this possible?

Some players where acting extremely fishy and would lag spike whenever they got near death, then they would poof away, and come back perfectly fine, so my question is, can players:

  1. Lag Switch
  2. Cause DNS crashes aka "DDOSing" In this very same match i all of a sudden couldn't connect to the game, it wouldn't even let me log on, i d/c'd twice and the final time league wouldn't let me log on, but it isn't my internet, i logged onto other games and had a low ping as always, so it's not an issue on my end.

My thought is that the same way people crash streamers streams called "Ddosing" , can players do that to other players in league, because i swear i got league ddosed, our team was winning at the current moment, and when i logged back in they had already immediately taken down 2 towers and an inhibitor which is EXTREMELY fishy timing, that we would be pushing them then all of a sudden get d/c'd and then our base nearly gone

Like i said i could log onto other games perfectly fine, my internet was fine everything was loading, i had low ping around 30, then boom instant d/c and unable to even log back into league right at a critical push moment in the already fishy acting game. And my ping is still 30 in any other game and i don't have any other issues, except this one match in league that i just can't even log back into.

UPDATE, i just logged on a few minutes after the match was over, with no freaking issues, this means i got ddosed in game by other players, i was playing with a buddy also in the same household and it happened to him in the same match, we both could log right back on after the match had literally just ended, THERE FOR we got IP ddosed :/ that is the only conclusion i can come up to, BECAUSE again, all other games worked just fine, our internet was fine, everything loading, low ping around 30 as always, all other games played fine and AGAIN we instantly were able to log back on THE MOMENT this match was over, sure hope riot can get to the bottom of this.

Maybe make a post similar to this in the support thread so you can get better information and help than you will in the miscellaneous thread?

Well i just want to see if this has happened to anyone else, it's not really something i expect to be investigated, lawd knows riot won't do their job correctly, all i know is that was the first match this has ever happened to me in, players lagswitching to get away from death, and then Ddosing our team so they can push and win, that's some advanced stuff there honestly, and the support thread would just call me a crazy lunatic who's theorizing, or making conspiracies but i and 1 other know exactly what happened, both of us reconnected the moment the match was over, so it was either a SERIOUS match bug that affected our ip, or a Ddos from the enemy team, that just so happened to push every time it happened, at the exact moment it happened, it occurred twice where i could reconnect then the third being a perma until the match was over, then i instantly was able to get back in. All other games during this still worked and our internet was fine.

ALSO theres now another post about DDOS attacks, with multiple replies saying they experienced the same thing
