@ RIOTERS: How can you Seriously expect us to continue to support this product. WEEKLY Server issues

Weekly If not daily server crashes and hiccups is just not professional, nor is it acceptable. How can we continue to invest in this game with all this instability. Its been happening way too frequently. Every week crippling server issues that shut down our gaming experience in the worst way possible. Its becoming way too routine now. League of Legends is now becoming that game with the crappy servers in the back of our minds. Why be apart of something so unreliable. I can't help but think at least some these problems are the result of outdated bad tech that riot is simply unwilling to upgrade and replace. I can't help but stress how fundamental it is to the gaming experience to have your game function reliably.

Can we get some reds to comment on this? Beyond " we have our guys working on a fix". How about getting a new boat instead of more band aids that only last but so long. Sorry if I come across as callous, but its just extremely frustrating doing all I can on my end to get better, only to have the game itself fail to keep up its end

Winning handily a game I needed, and its disrupted by servers fail. Enemy team is of course unaffected and I get a demotion. Others got a leaver buster ban.....

Any rioters understand how frustrating this is and how it makes us not even want to bother with this game anymore. All of the cool skins and content in the world isn't enough to keep my interest If I can't depend on the game to function. And thats without even mentioning east coast latency and lack of official replay that doesn't break with every patch

"We’re pushing the visual changes to the patcher and client landing page we recently shared with you on PBE to the live experience along with some new core client technology." - Riot

"Updating the look and feel of the patcher and client landing page means we can add new tech, minimize risk, and deliver some neat stuff." - Riot

Yep, totally seems like Riot is unwilling to upgrade and replace. Though it is extremely frustrating to have so many server issues, they really are trying to fix it. Be patient my friend.
