People using lag switches and hacking other players too often when they start shit with you

I keep getting attacked on my computer. It keeps shutting of specifically during league of legends games. People get mad at me, and that makes me angry and we start fighting and then I conveniently get my computer shut off. My PC shuts down, my internet keeps going out. I'm definitely being attacked by people who play this game, and I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this. It happens too often. I know people have pingspikes like up to 1000ms... people getting randomly disconnected. It's all too convenient for me to brush off as a conspiracy or coincidence. It's definitely happening to me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, which is why I'm here to talk to the community about this behavior. I want it to stop happening to me, and I am trying to get help from Riot by contacting them. I need their help especially right now, I'm no hacker or DDos'r or lagswitcher or cheater. I can't really fight this at all. I need Riot's help, and maybe even the communities help if they're willing to. I just want to be able to play through a game, and not get my PC shut off. I know it's not my PC now...people just hate me because I'm stupid or something. I don't know. I do have a lot of enemies, and I understand that. Still, though...doing this to get rid of me isn't right. No one should be removed forcibly...from playing a game or hacking or giving viruses to them to make their computer get fucked up. It just isn't right and I want to help it stop. I want my life back, and this sucks dick. Please if anyone can help stop this shit from happening to me, or just in general. Please please please help. I hope this is the right place to ask.

For starters, stop fighting with other players. If they try to start stuff and you feel compelled to respond, just mute them instead. Doing this will also prevent you from putting your account at risk of punishments.

But I highly doubt this is something people are doing intentionally. If it were happening this often to you, it would be a widespread issue that a lot of people report, but this is the first I've ever heard of something like this. My guess is there's a hardware or configuration issue on your end (or maybe even just your ISP) that's causing it, and you only notice it when you're already riled up and arguing with other people.

Confused, which games are you being "d'dosd in?

To my understanding riot, has solved the biggest loopholes surrounding ddosing .

Have you considered you system is at fault? Have you downloaded anything recently? Is it possible your running background programs that are interfering with the game?

Have you fully wiped and reinstalled your system?

A lag switch implies that they are the host of a game. That isn't how league works.

If your computer is shutting down, that might not be a hack or lag switch. That might be a problem with your video card or ram.

If your video card is overheating it'll just shut off to prevent a fire

If your ram is corrupt, every time it runs into the corrupted fragments, then it'll also shut down.

Have you tried looking at your hardware diagnostics to see if there's a temp or a memory problem?

NON sérieux, est il possible qu'un joueur vous fasses avoir un lag parce que vous joué trop bien pour lui ? Car moi ça m'est arrivé plus d'une fois... Quelque fois quand je joue teemo top et que je suis archi feed, il se trouve que mes ms augmente soudainement je dis que se n'est pas un hasard et ma question est. Est-ce possible qu'un joueur entre sur votre réseau et par n'importe qu'elle moyen il change vos ms
