Getting Drophacked

So, i got DDOS( sorry for missleading you in the title) and its so obvious, but sadly I dont know who to report because it could be anyone. Me my duoQ and my support had multiple DC's but only when we were fighting. I just uploaded the most obvious example as a video. As you can see we both suddenly DC and had to stand still and were dead by the time we were back. I hope you can take further actions on this case and that this person gets a ban. I didnt know people actually do this and i never saw anyone do this before in my 4 years of playing this game.

Note: The Lulu is not my premade the jungler was.

Were you and your duo on the same network?

It's very very unlikely that someone did what you think they did.

Are you sure that this "Drop hack" even exists?

I mean if Rito's developers know what they do (I highly doubt it), there should be no way for anyone to get your IP address for DDOS you or anything. And if they would "attack" the game server then it will cause crashes for EVERYBODY, not just one of the teams, making it practically not really useful. (And also, if they attack the server, it could identify the player and punish him)

Does anybody have more information about this?

In the past, I am sure lag hacks existed. I don't know about now but back in the day, I encountered them quite a bit.

Everyone on our team would lag when near specific players, like team fights would be fine if that person wasn't there but if they were there, 5 of us would lag out and get aced and then reconnect while dead. Or if we encountered them individually, a person would disconnect, die, then reconnect.

This was also before the new client and so the way the game worked back then may not be the same way it works now and Riot has made many improvements to stop third party programs from influencing the game.

I don't think you understand what the existence of such a hack implies or the technical flaws League would have to attain for this to be allowed.

Running a netstat clearly and immediately shows there's no communication between you and the players. Their IP's are never released. Unless you got their IP by them accessing a link or any other methods, then this won't be possible.

This was most likely something on Riot's servers that we can't explain.

If you really do care, then try to see the win-rate of these people.

Was any of them in their promos?

Either way, if such a hack existed, whoever made it is as smart to know not to give it free to people / sell it for change and they'd have a bigger impact.

Just highly unlikely.

Make a ticket.

everyone here questioning if a drop hack exists for league, when there is a very popular video of a jinx dropping his entire team and enemy team when they were about to lose, the jinx then just pushes mid and ends the game.

It's definitely a thing, at least at some level. Riot even has an article on it: https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201751764-DDoS-Prevention-Guide

Do you have an outdated Skype install with a username matching your League name?
