Why is everyone one all up in arms against Riot for the slows and d/c's when it isn't their fault (kinda). I mean just because they released Final Boss Veigar with his code changing ways doesn't mean that they are to blame for the server problems they are having, right?

Because when something goes wrong people need someone or something to blame that isn't themselves. And the highest relevant authority is always to blame in the eyes of mob mentality. And when said mob mentality posts crop up Reds don't (and imho shouldn't) respond to them because they'll just be attacked anyway, and the resulting silence is taken as lack of interest in the issue, which then spirals down until the problem is actually fixed and the mob breaks up because their banner (i.e. server lag) has disappeared.

I'm not saying there aren't competent people actually respectfully requesting information regarding to said problems, estimates of when it'll be repaired and statements of discontent (because saying you're not satisfied with a service is critical to good business), but people are very prone to be caught up in the mob and quickly go from "We're not happy with the service!" to "Why does this always happen!" (quickly forgetting anytime they've been content) to finally "Why you do this Rito!"

Its all final boss Veigar fault from now on! Rito has nothing to do now with lags and crushes.

Veigar "Suffering awaits."

Things like this happen and suddenly every player is an IT tech/business analyst. It's really kind of amazing, in a sad, 'watching humanity slowly burn' sort of way.

No the matter is much more simple then you think the vast majority of Gamers don't know how a game works they only know how to play it.

Riot has done a really bad job of informing people about the "Lizard group" which is DDOSING them. I myself had never even heard of them until recently during a tournament, they said the lizard group was ddosing the servers. If they get more infastructure they should be fine.
