"Server issues," no Loss Prevented, got demoted because of it...

EDIT: Looking at the replay, everyone but Brand (the first disconnect) is still farming in their respective lanes. At the 8-minute mark me and MF began to intermittently disconnect, reconnect and disconnect immediately in a loop. At that point, everybody on the enemy team but Jinx grouped mid and began attacking the towers. It looks like a DDOS attack to me. If it were a server-wide issue, virtually everyone would be affected in some way, wouldn't they?

First, Brand dc'd suddenly. He was 1/1. Internet issues happen. Then a couple minutes later, my MF dcs, and within a minute or two later, I start "Attempting to Reconnect." I'm literally refreshing Youtube on the side, and I've an extremely reliable ISP; I HIGHLY doubt it's coincidence that all 3 of us (and likely our other 2 teammates) would be having internet issues while the enemy team destroyed our Nexus by around the 13-minute mark.

The fact they did it so quickly is because someone tipped them off about the situation, so rather them being split up and pushing other lanes as an enemy usually does so early in the game, they must've all known immediately and grouped mid to end the game.

Every Single Player on that enemy team is a suspect, and I've sent a ticket. But I wanted to reiterate this - --

ANNDDDDD before I could finish that sentence, Riot JUST releases this: "RANKED QUEUE ISSUES Ranked queues are temporarily disabled while we investigate an issue that's negatively impacting games."

Fucking thanks. Not even a Loss Prevented, which I haven't seen in like 4 seasons. @Riot, this was my 2nd (illegitimate) loss at 0 LP and demoted because of it. DO something about it other than telling me you're sorry or some bullshit like that. Surely you can revert my rank or patch my MMR to ease my climb back or something. Don't expect me to climb back up TWO divisions in 4 days when I've a life when it was hard enough.

This isn't really a player behavior thing, more of gameplay thing.

So you lost 1 game due to server issue yet dropped 2 divisions? Sounds like you are in a losing streak to begin with, this one loss hardly contributes to anything. Better dust it off and grind. You got a few days left.

apparently a lot of people were affected. In my game, 3 people from each team had your problem, dc'ing and reconnected but never getting into the game. It was basically a 2v2 , but some people got lucky and connected back after 10 mins, I had a loss prevention though
