League of Legends: Riot doesn't care about the game anymore? (MemberZone)

Yo hentaidude, can you make a rap about potatoes ?
Sure I can that's not even a question.

Its funny how people always complain about EU WEST, im playing LoL since 5 years, have >7000games played on EU WEST and had those issues in under 1% of all my games ive ever played, i dont know with what shitty internet or computers ppl play(mostly with calculators when i see their loading times), cant even remember the last time there was a problem with EU WEST and i play a minimum of 5 games a day...

So lol failed to load the character select window and i get removed and get a 45 min ban. Not a great start for the game when i have just download it and got ban before i even play a game........well back to elder scrolls online then ceebs with this game.

Hey guys, not one of those jerks promoting games, I played league for 4-5 years, (since beta) and Dota 2 is so much better when you get the feel for it, trust me it is worth the time to learn. League is old news, i tried going back into LoL to play 1 match, and i was bored out of my mind, dota 2 is just more fun !

I read your story, and i want to share mine. I have played this game Since Season2. I remember everything my first champ i bought and the champ of the loading screen when i first played. It was love at first play and i couldn't stop playing. But the problems never seemed to end it's been about 3 years of playing for me. I remember having the Avast problem long ago as well. I couldn't Choose a champ very well i was very laggy ect all the stuff you had problems with and then in game i couldn't play then suddenly i would Dc. Well the support said use Avast Ect weren't helpful then they asked for personal details about my Pc and scanned my Pc and data like Wow.. Finally they told me a few simple Bs things like turn off Fire Wall. And get rid of your other Virus Scanners. And i did and i was able to play just fine..... Which is... Uhhh very Strange.. But since then i am practically a full time League of Legends player i play everyday i love this game so much. I have been playing for years so usually when i get bored i'll play something i haven't played in a while i will just switch between champs back and forth. I noticed the community is full of Ass holes and they are brainless sheep who see something in LCs and then everyone copies what the Lcs pros pick and then you see a champ that wasn't touched in ages suddenly be over played for the next 2 months.. It truly is sickening to watch because like i said i will play any champ and i can play them good. My Smurf is Plat5 and my Main is Diamond3. Well aside from the Community of Ass holes who will over play the same champ because of Lcs videos. Next we also have LAG AND PING SPIKES. Oh my word... Na server Man.. If you haven't seen your Champ Actually Slidding to walk while being plagued by Ping Spikes you haven't played enough i have seen this many times. I have screen shots of some of the weirdest shit too, like i have Minions attacking each other and you can see the Summoner Spell Flash and Ignite as the Caster Minions Attack NO JOKE! And i have seen this probably like 50 times in all my time of playing. I have also seen the Summoner spells around champs. Or a Champ Animation on a enemy for like 2minutes. I have even seen LCs matches with bugs and the Creators Don't Give a FLYING F*. I made a post on the forums talking about how i was wrongfully SUSPENDED for 2 weeks and the Creators of the game accused me of botting?!? They suspended my Smurf.. I have been a faith gamer of this game for 3 years every day and have spend probably upwards of 1000$ on this game and they had the nerve to take away all my ranked rewards for that account and WARN me if i ever do it again they will Delete my Account! Wow harsh especially when their balls dropped and they actually were cowards on the follow up info. They went straight ahead and PRIVate messaged my Email to tell me they will delete my account if i do anything again and that i have time to prove my innocence. In a Nut Shell they really had no idea if i was guilty or not and they took action before being sure.. Wtf?!?? Then i tell them i was using a VPN and i told them to message me the time stamps so i could email them back a Screen shot of the exact time Ect of what they were accusing me of Boosting.. So the jack asses of the company ignore me the full duration of the suspension and i emailed them 5 times within that time. I got so pissed that i created a forum post to gain the Help of the community the way i saw it, i figured if 100 people were on my post that someone working for Riot would have to come listen to me and i wouldn't be able to be ignored. And the Community were like Riots LAp Dogs they had just came and mocked me these people were Mean in the purest form they had Wished the worst for me and my account they had made fun or me and took turns creating jokes they had Chanted Riots workers names that they knew of hoping the workers would ban me from the game it was shocking to see people band together to wish the worse on someone i was like wtf.... I stood my ground i knew i did no wrong and i just wanted my account returned to me the way it was meant to be. Finally the bastards emailed me and they wouldn't give me TIME STAMPS. All they said was Sorry we can't give away that INFORMATION Because it might be harmful to our game and could potentially allow Boosters to figure out our security and how we find out things. I was like wtf... You really expect me to give you exact info from months ago if you won't even give me TIme Stamps?!? And they were like, Well we are closing your Support ticket Now so if you have anything else to prove your Innocence now is the time. Wtf?!?? Are these people for real?? Instead of giving me what i asked for in order to help them help me they just tell me no after i waited 2 weeks to talk to a support service then they just close ticket and leave me with no options. So anyways theres also a AFK PROBLEM!!! Ohhhh man assuming you have the perfect game and no LAg or PING or ANYTHING!! These Bitch ass players will usually die oh ya no once or twice and then tempers really flare.. I am not kidding ya one death or 2 deaths and people start typing GG wp and all kinds of crap. After 10min someone usually AFK because people are saying surrender at 20 like wtf. Even if you have the better scaling late game team these people have no brains. Idk if they are all 6 year old kids or what but they really can't expand their realm of thinking into play safe and wait for late game. Even with a scaling team they give up. I have actually reported people and added additional info about ideas i had on how to fix AFk and i gave real good ideas. But Riot never even bothers reading the Tribunal. Oh that's another thing. See this Reporting thing of theirs anyone can report you for whatever and they can lie and talk shit it really doesn't matter they have the Idiot Player base judge you and so if someone talks shit and lies and says bad stuff about you then players can really let ya have a beating. Then Riots automated system will generally tell you that you have been a bad boy and tell you everyone has a bad day but calm your tits in a nut shell thats what they say. And you can even get suspended for a few days if enough people report you. This Game is like one of the best games ever... The CONS of the game is the Ranked ladder is full of Sheep who don't have a brain and pick something that they see pros play and expect to auto win game because they throw around the word "OP" so much you could assume they drink it up like it's water. And when their Champ that they copied with full runes and masteries copied right out of a guide lets them down and they die a few times they want to quit the game. Other cons include Trolls, Afkers, Rage Quits, Crappy Customer Support, New Champs only released every 3 months SEASON4 we have 3 new champs and it's almost the end of the year. 8/10/2014 when i am typing this and GNAR is the new champ and he isn't released yet. Other Cons Include the Creators of the game Noob Trapping their Own Player Base. Man if ya don't know what a noob trap is it's basically the game saying "Hey Kid, buy this item it's good for your character, man and if you got a brain you know every match is different" See well i say they noob trap their player base because i have noticed supports all rush Coin. And i was like WHY DO you guys RUSH COIN?!? It gives no combat stats and the active takes way to much coordination for a Solo Q team to take advantage of. Then i looked through all the supports and most of them the Game shows it in the shop as a item that is good for your character. It's a Classic F* Noob trap. And i swear they use Lcs to control their nerfing and Buffing of champs because they could control the Sheep from copying everything if they would tell the announcers to talk about champs that work good against champs u see in the Lcs. If they talked about counter picks and why certain champs can beat others then you would see the counter picks played just as much f* believe me. And they only f* nerf champs that are over played in Solo q ppl play champs because they see them played in Lcs then Riot nerfs a champ so that people will play something else. I swear most of the nerfs don't make sense they are just a small nerf of like 20 damage per a lv of a spell most the time it's usually a small base damage spell nerf designed to make idiots who think one nerf is a big deal not play them. And it works so then their counter to nerfing a champ and keeping their game alive is releasing a NEW skin for a Champ they just Nerfed i have seen this trick Deployed a Million times. Meanwhile CHamps that actually NEED Buffed i am TAlking ALISTAR f* Cow has the shittest scaling in the game or F* Viktor!! Holy Shit.. Viktor his Mana COst on his Spells are just disgusting you go OOM after a few spells.Man i saw a Nerf to Twitch a while back dam Rat hasn't been played in Lcs since Season3 he got a Visual UPgrade nothing was improved in his Spells he was the same champ but bitches started playing him and he got so popular in Solo q because of lcs that they nerfed him. He had the weakest passive in the game which would deal like 50 true damage if you auto attacked 6 times in a row. That passive does half that amount now it's like 32 true damage at 6 auto attacks. Holy shit really?? That nerf makes perfect sense. Or the Leblanc Nerf Okay so they took away her Silence... Ya... Like wtf.. And everyone stopped playing her. Funny as f* a weak nerf that was pointless but they did it anyways and their plan worked no one plays her now. Okay i could write a book on how much is wrong with this game and COngrats to anyone who read all the way but really i gotta stop typing. I spoke nothing but the truth this is a good game but the list of bad things with it is a LOOOOONNNGGG LISt... Man

I agree with this post because me and my friends are her, waiting for 1h20 min now, to log in. There is a queue to log in.... AGAIN (because of north european and east european who want to play on EUW and because EUW is rules by total idiots). So first it said "place in queue: over 20 000 wait 20 min" .
I waited 20 min.
Then it said "place in queue: 1 waiting time: 1h"
OK i waited 1 hour and now it says " place in queue 1 waiting time 1second"

Biggest joke i've ever seen in a game. Now i know all the skins i bought and RP i bought were used to buy cocaine and LSD, and were not used to repair problems.
Sincerely pissed off.

Thomas.

I hate how people whine about servers. Am I disappointed when servers are down? Yes. Do I bitch about how they're releasing champions and skins instead of fixing the servers? No. See, the people who design champions and skins are an entirely different team from the network team. The fixes they provided ARE what should be done. The OP is just an uneducated rant.

The game is absolutely free!

Oh and look, it is semptember 29th and the problems are worse then ever. You can not join queues, you can not log in. Champion select site freezes and as usual no comments from riot, no explanations.

such* things like that.My bad.

I want to play league of legends. this is my favorite game.But with those issues....and i know that alot of u are gonna rage after u see this but i also think that riot doesn't give a shit about the game. Every new camp that they release is JUST SO OP and they dont nerf it.they are so many things that they need to fix.I am not sure if i want to play it anymore...And the community is just so offensive.I haven't played a single game with no guys saying "gg nooobs my team fed u" "report that fag " "OMG NO HELP REPORT REPORT " and suck things like that.This is my OPINION.

i so do agree with this post

And ppl that doesnt understand RIOTS problem, are trollers. So delete trollers post here plix. Cause Riot srsly have issue.

well the players with that attitude don't bother me, but mmobomb supporting this? (well when you put this on the news page you are still supporting this child).
I played lol since s1 (there were no such thing as seasons back then i guess) yes it has a lot of problems, and still do but its FREE, if you want you can buy skins but that doesn't mean you have to pay a subscription. It's always funny to see gamers who don't have a clue what's like to have a server and having a LOT of people logging in at the same time, the community grown a lot, they are still not prepared, so be patient. Back in my days the queue could last 3 hours and more.

so sad to see mmobomb posting this kind of thing, well better find a better source of information then

What are some of these people talking about, saying biased and crap? MemberZone is meant for people to post their opinions about an argument someone brings up. Albeit he did complain a little much, but it's still an argument. It's debate. When did MMOBomb say this was their opinion as well? Also, if you think MemberZone is pointless and you don't like it, just ignore it on the front page. It isn't that hard. Obviously you care enough to read it and comment on it.

This game is the home of all the internet games scum.

Agree, i play EU also and last couple of days while loading game server crashes and have to close and relaunch the game to reconnect.Beside losing time to get ahead of the game,beside fustrating this also can get ur account a ban for "leaving" game. I see riot page on facebook or on youtube about the LoL,they guess dont give a rats about the game in my opionion!

Its a shame that a person gets so much hate because he critics a game many kids love.
After reading thru some comments, i wonder if most of the ppl did even read the article.
"I play on US and never had problems"
Well, he wrote "only EU West", so those comments doesnt make any sense.

But its commen, "lets post a stupid comment so everyone knows i do exist." what a fail....anyways, back to topic.
3 Weeks..There was no apologies, no free skin, no nothing. Some ppl still have the probleme, even with the fix.
Like Riot said by themselve "we did upload the new patch on KR server and they start to have the same issuses.
Guess what server got fixed first? For sure the KR server.
Now thing about it...
but again, after reading some useless, stupid comments here...Wanna see you kids, if ur internet wents down for 3 hours and u start crying and kicking the Pc. 2 weeks, or in my case 3 weeks, ist just not ok. Doesnt matter, what service it is, what game and so on...

Why i hate this game:
1) lag is horrible. And i have fiber optic super speed net.

2) the report ban button is abused since day 1. Riot doesn't have the code to fix it so they support it by adding a drop box of reasons to ban like "unskilled", super abused. You can even ban peoples accounts in A.I. Maps...like this day 1. When i asked in riot forums " if this would be fixed." they banned my forum account for 30 days and ran a t-shirt sale.

3) catered to idiots. I play on all servers around the world: russia, us, eu. My main account eu' but i have to play another region/ account durring patch. Down time (eu west has worst) and bans. Every region has their play style. Only us is the worst. They do not like balance or patience. It is packed arma. All assassins go mid. One lane fights. You take any other lane you play alone. Riot last updates? Make single lane maps. They had a huge 5 man volcano map designed for tactic but they announced they cut it short and will make it 1 vs 1 and 2 vs 2... See the connection yet. And guess what region has more kids with credit cards.

4) need i say more? I can go on. But if you see where they put energy
It is all marketing and image. They say they ban bad players. Nope honest players are banned. They cant track verbal abuse in russian, spanish, portugesse, etc... They just ban in us mostly to please the child like mentality.

Haha, I laughed so hard. The OP is so stupid.

"If you will go to the League of Legends EU West forums, you will find not one single positive word in ages about the game."

This is such a misconception and so stupid, I dont even know what to say. The forum is always a place for those who wants to complain or need help in any way. It has always been like this.

"With that said, I have given up on League of Legends. I’ve uninstalled the game like many others already did and I wont be coming back. If you’re going to try this game, be sure to avoid the EU West server. Maybe it’s a good idea to avoid the EU servers all together…"

like many others? I played like every day and dont even have a single problem. Have you even tried one of those suggestions? Have you tried reinstalling the game, readjusting your router or anything else? I´m sad, that something stupid like this is posted on this website.

Who cares about the EU anyways? The best LOL teams are in the US. Its much bigger in the USA then in Europe anyways. Logical business practice would be to focus on the region that brings in the most money. This is just one persons complaint and doesn't need to be on here....This belongs on the League of Legends fourms.

mmobomb has to be trolling with this post. It's something you would read on a 12year olds facebook that is there just to cause drama. It's a problem that a small amount of players are experiencing and will get fixed sooner or later depending on how many people actually cooperate with riot instead of bitching coz its not fixed the next day.

Honestly i couldn't agree more thou i found my Solution on my own. The thing is the EU West Servers are the ones that got the worst Support and Stability, Normally Riot gives you something like Riot points to compensate for the Down Time and all , well that usually does not happen on the EU West server. Overall the Other Regions run smoother and better and got a better support than EU West , but i do disagree on that Riot isn't caring anymore , they do work hard that's for sure yet that does not change the fact .

And to all those LoL Haters out there , i played Dota 2 for quiet some time now and all i can say is rubbish.

The opinion of a Single Person ? No not at all , he just nailed the Biggest problem in LoL and receives hate.

I hate those Fanboy Wars witch are all over the Internet, Xbox Vs. PS , CoD Vs. BF, Lol Vs. Dota , totally dumb to fight that out , and well most of those Fanboys never played the opposite but are still experts in it just to Justifies there stupidity.

I played LoL for 2 years just like you. At the end I got bored from same heroes with same items all the time. 1 thing I really loved in LoL was being a support (with utility tree), I really had fun with that. Just swich to Dota 2, ofcourse there are problems in Dota 2 too but at least you won't get frustrated like that. Wish you the best ;)

When you aren't a noob, you are a retard. That's the way it is. No one care about anyone anymore. You are alone in the jungle and you don't have Wilson as friend. There's no faith in humanity anymore. I just hope people will kill themselves with chocolate burgers..

If I'm not mistaken, the EU servers were once run by a partner company which Riot had some trouble with. I am not quite sure if Riot has taken the servers back or transferred the server care to another company but I know Riot cares very very much about their game and are doing their best to make everyone happy. Note that Riot hq is not located in Europe and thus they are having to rely on making phone calls with other companies to get their game out to the world. Don't blame everything on Riot when it may not actually be them maintaining servers outside the U.S.

Source: I got to sit in on a lecture with a Riot dev ^-^

Worst post in MMOBomb I've seen in a while I'd suggest to the site owners to remove it.
Such bullshit and hatred against Riot, you think they don't care about the game? They're working really hard to fix this and the game has constant updates and new characters along with new maps coming, they don't care about their main source of income anymore? Make me laugh more you stupid tool.

Ya know its only the EU server your on that's really experiencing this. I play on the NA server and have had no problems with my league in a long long time. So don't go saying Riot doesn't care anymore because it's obviously just your countries riot HQ that cant seem to fix it. People need to stop generalizing crap like this without doing their research on other areas. It just makes them a hardcore rage/ranter and quite frankly its annoying.

Just FIRE every member of the RIOT EUROPE that's managing the game and replace it with responsible one's, cuz in other countries that has League Of Legends, doesn't have that kind of problem, its the lack of interest of the workers to better their own community which in my opinion really sucks, and i really hate people that don't do their work properly...

My guess is that when EU riot people is fixing the technical problems of their game maybe they do multitasking ALT TAB then play other games LOL!!

My opinion Try SHUTTING DOWN LOL for 1 week and focus on solving the issue rather than let it continue like that... Goodluck and i dont mean anything to offend EU players but its not the players fault, its the STAFF's fault..

well i couldn't log in 2 times in the last week i dont think its a big deal just play something else than go back and connect again and it works...

It is weird because I don't experience any of the issues above, and I play on the EU west server as well. The only problem I have is that the queue times sometimes are amazingly big (up to 10 mins). Every time I get disconnected it is my internet's fault. Not the client. How I know this? Because anything that needs the internet doesn't work anymore.
On the other hand though. I cannot play Dota 2, My PC can handle it, An error pops up that steam hasn't been able to fix for over 3 months. So I am stuck with LoL. Luckily enough that works.

I have the same promblem wiht the account.I cant log in.!!!!!!!!!

Ehh? I never get this problem when I play? Get a better internet connection perhaps?

Also why are people still using avast and other free anti-virus software, when 'MICROSOFT SECURITY ESSENTIAL' is there and is specially created for windows PC. It's also free!

Never in my LoL history I have ever experience those, other than those server overloading times.

My sympathy to the OP and others who can't play LoL.

Get a better Computer and a better Internet Cable Access. I've been playing LoL ever since it was on ABT and CBT till present. I've never once had a major problem with the game. I think the poster just don't know how to tweak things up to his crap computer. Please delete this thread or w/e you can call it. It's a sore in the eye just to see it in the home page.

There will always be problems on the servers. It is a very very hard work, very complicated, very deep. It is not similar to your fortrun or C++ code. It is very very complicated and it takes very long time even with lots of people to find what caused the problem. To me league cominity not counting the weird playerbase, the responsible ones are very caring of their players. Their support system is very slow because hundreds of thousands of players mail a ticket each day. Wouldyou be able to read all that? They are still developing and improving. They are not perfect yet, they need the support and positive attitude. Just relax untill they are done
with their job and come back to the game.

all you ppl are doing are naming and comparing fav mobas and all comments are off topic with few expressing opinions on the matter...

so you think LOL and Riot are the only ones with these lame support answers?

same thing happened with me in back light retribution they made me add ports and what not nothing happened i could not even connect to the server so i just un installed it.

you see every person has a right to express their point of view one person is speaking up rather than bashing up the person clearly understand what he is saying and stop with the fan-boy bashing.

this post is just one example to many other companies foolish support responses and i believe this post is speaking up against the sheer negligence of the company towards its players.

I've played this game for 2 years now aswell, and I never, never had any problems with EUW , and if i had problems , it was from my side and not the games side, (ping/lag/fps drop/etc) . You often see the people with problems speak, but the amount of people with problems is still way smaller than the people with no problems at all. Stop QQ'ing , reinstall, get a new pc, or get a new isp.

good that i sold my lol account for few bucks :D

You know function and meaning of TANK in games? tank must carry the game, croud controls, slows silence and other sh**. if u are SHEN, RAMMUS, AMUMU, or MALPHITE; you cant kill him with ADC and melee AD, you know?
I play long time games from dendy, I'm 24 years old and every TANK i seen in games, YES you never cant kill good tank but he cant deal damage like here, for example in world of warcraft, you cant kill tank but he cant kill you too in 1 taunt like rammus can i n that game. ok tank champ is one problem and second is that even LE BLANC can use thornmails and warmog, its bullshit i cant watch that 4 of 5 wearing warmogs and thornmails its idiotism its not game !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAKE ITEM AND CHAMPION ROLES - like if champ is TANK he can put warmogs and thorns but if he is AP or ADC - he couldn't use it
P.S. sorry for my English

I have been playing LoL since it first launched. And I gotta say, Riot has gone way down hill in terms of community relations. Riot continuously does things just so they can make more money. I.E making champions 7800 IP for the first week. They know a lot of summoners don't have that much IP so they put it at a high price so people will buy RP to play the champ. Riot also increased the price on the most popular skins and lowered the price on the least popular skins. I am deeply saddened by what Riot has become.

like seriously delete this crap this kid is obviously trolling get over it if the game is down go outside and enjoy life don't come to mmobomb and complain no one else does...

I don't get this post, like this "Telling people to shut down their firewall, is JUST WRONG" thing... every company in their first reply, the support will tell you everything the guy did, including the firewall, this is not wrong, this is to narrow the possibilities so the support can help you further

don't expect that your solution will come with 1 e-mail to support, sometimes it takes 5 or more, depends on what is the problem

also, you can say that the problem is in their end if "a lot of people" have problems, it can be a internet provider problem, pc specs, etc... and if you don't give them this type of information -and apparently you didn't - it will take longer to find the fix to the problem

about having complains on forums, omg, any forum of any game will have hundreds of complains, that doesn't mean anything, there are people that, after 30 min without the support response, start making posts on the forum complaining

and, if in the end the problem IS on their end, it is a database problem or connection or whatever, you have to understand that it might take more than 3 days, especially when people rant about it but doesn't give helpful information about their problem

Player suport just stated to that KR servers get better treatment due to eSports, I am very disappointed on this !

I've been playing LoL for about 2 years now, as well, started on east, and switched to west later on. Never had problems like these, if something does happen, they leave a message that there are problem, and that they are working on it, and usually, it is fixed within an hour, which is pretty acceptable for me. I never alone had problems, that aren't affecting everyone on the server, and that maybe happens once per month, or even once in two months, and that's between the patches, so it's reasonable that something has happened with the new patch, and that it's causing problems, but they work it out very fast.

Riot already stated they are testing the solution for those issues and already talked about a possible compensation. Just wait for it.
Had an issue with delay during 4 days in which we had 3-6 seconds delay in game and I didn't rant about it, had to wait for the proper solution to arrive.

Makes 2 of us, Dumb game

well altho its not to do with EU for a ages they hint towards AU servers since of the large player base here and still CBF getting them cause having 250 ping vsing someone with 12 isnt realy fair. and tons are posting about when they r adding them.

I've been playing on EUNE for a year now, and I haven't noticed any problems regarding the client or server. I don't understand why this thread is on the main page of mmobomb.

many people who have commented on this post did not understand anything,this person is absolutely right and I have the same thing .. but people like you who do not understand, he can not even give the right answer anyway ...so go buy a skin,champion spend your money like a GIRL...

Why on earth is this on the front page? This is just some rant by some player who had a problem with the game.

LoL is a huge game with millions of players. Crap happens A LOT when you're dealing with a large playerbase like that.

IMO, articles like this should be posted elsewhere on the website, not on the front page. There are hundreds of rants, complaints, pissing contests, etc. at the LoL forum already... we don't need it here.

Whats wrong with the solutions the admin gave? They are like 80% solution for most of the cases, this opinion is ridiculous, MMOBomb, delete x)

Another thing,

I've been following this website for a while now. About a year.

This is the single most disappointing thing to see pop up on the main site page.

MMOBomb, please take my advice and move this member zone trash to a more subtle location for people that actually want to read whatever some member has to say about games can just visit the member zone page or something.

This article is extremely biased and has horrible intentions. Do you really want to advertise something that wants everyone to avoid LoL even though it's a hugely successful game with one of the largest game communities? How do you know that this one person isn't just having problems and over-exaggerating in his article about it? There's no facts. Just a documentation of one persons bad experience.

So again, please make a member zone page dedicated to these articles. No one wants to see them on the main page as you can clearly see in the comments.

If he's under a router he should also try and pet trigger using the ports mentioned.
Otherwise if he really really love the game, I would attemp a fresh install. People don't notice but sometimes lots of other third party services that run in the background (even if you disable it) from most F2P games give conflicts to others. I am no where saying that this is the solution but there is still stuff that has to be done to ensure its not your end and in many cases, if they mention that most people shouldn't have a problem at all, then a fresh install dosent sound bad to me. It's either a couple hours if installing or weeks and maybe months of your favorite game.

All I see here is butthurt complaining.

Honestly? You're probably right. But only half right. They don't care about the EU servers. The servers their servers are actually located in run perfectly fine. It may or not be true, but I have a feeling their EU servers might not even be located in the EU area, thus explaining ping issues.

You're better off trying to play on the more populated and maintained NA servers that they actually do care about.

Sorry to any EU players. You guys always get the short end of the stick when it comes to online gaming. I can feel your pain oozing out of my monitor right now.

GOOD! All uninstall LoL. Join SMITE instead. Better support and more mature community...

you know the easiest solution to your problem would be a server change. Just go to EU west if east has so many issues. Everything you own will transfer over with your account. I play on the NA server and there are hardly any problems there.

As for the company not caring about its game, riot games probably has the best model out there currently. They have proven it from time to time hence the reason why they are hosting global tournaments with millions in prize money giveaways. Riot is the only company that i truly respect because they take action, continually update their game and address any major issues that seldom arise and most of all you don't have to pay to win.

Look at PWE's latest venture neverwinter. You have to get 600 zen just to respec your character. The game has major issues/bugs, has downtimes almost every alternate day. The gear is horrendously overpriced, a messed up economy and you hit end game in a matter of days. I know you can't compare a moba to an mmorpg but if you look at the company ethics and the way they treat their customers i'd say Riot beats every other company out there by a mile.

So yes i agree with the first reply, this is a troll post and needs to be removed

Play smite!!!!

I understand the poster's frustration. I'd be rather irritated at a game I wanted to play not allowing me to get on the servers. However, being perfectly honest, I do not much care about his/her problems. Probably mostly due to the fact I don't much care for League of Legends, if at all. DOTA-likes are pretty boring IMO.

What a useless thread.

No wonder EU came last

1 thing that i hate in this game is that ITEMS and CHAMPIONS dont have ROLE, everyone can use everyting, its like rogue and warlock coud use plate armor in world of warcraft, everyone is running with tank items, and one more thing if u are tank and have tank items you also dealing tons of damage, tank is 1 damage dealer in game. game slogan: "take tanks or tank items and you will win"

if u read this riot balancers - change name of game to LEAGUE OF TANKS!!!!!! shame on you

I got this problem recently so i know that for the last couple of weeks it HAS been an issue, two of my friends got it as well during the same time but we've managed to fix it, so yes, there is a problem on the EU west servers. However i looked up the help page on their site, and guess what? their help page helped me. I spent 2 hours trying to fix it, looked on youtube for some helper videos and now its working fine for all of us.
You can't expect them to magically fix the problem just because you want them to, everyone has a problem in some form for LOL at any one time across the world, so stop acting like yours is special and your entitled to their full attention.

I have tried a lot of these mobas and rpg games i just dont like them at all,rpg games are cheezy and combat is boring,mobas are just blah,both moba and rpg games are very repetitive.Unfortunately the majority of free to play games that have been coming out has been moba and rpg,sucks for me

I like seeing game that i dont like dying, i hope it will end up in dumpster.

Its a danm shame , everytime mmobomb post something now and days the first 4+ comments be fake account trolls bullshiting the person that made the article\video really sad.

I will never play Dota 2 again , I played it for 1 hour and then uninstall ... boring .

Finally someone speaking out against the actual problems of League of Legends. While this post may seem extreme to most people he has a valid reason to be pissed off, he paid money to support this game that he really enjoyed yet it is now un-playable because Riot has terrible servers and no solutions other than the classic "Turn it off, now turn it back on. Does it work now? No? well i got nothing." Also EUW may be getting the worst of server issues (like not being able to login) but its well known their asian servers seem to be pretty bad and a lot of my friends and I (whom are on the NA server) will get random ping spikes. For example we will be playing a game then half way through everyones ping jumps to like 999 for the rest of the game and we can't do anything about it (and we generally lose because it takes about a second for anything to happen). I love LoL but i agree Riot needs to get their shit together, especially for a game with such a huge following. Anyways just my twenty cents. Thank you OP for writing this article, something had to be said.

Just go play Dota2 already.

the firewall thing is a moot point, because yes, you should allow league through your firewall, which is exactly what they requested, the poster, whoever it is is an idiot. and the post about the facebook? called a vocal minority, people who don't have a problem aren't gonna post that they dont have one, that's pointless, they are busy playing, of course it's gonna look like everyone has the problem.

just delete this post, bs
