official League of Legends

I just started playing this - i had played back in the beta but i quit for HoN. HoN has become too... "hardcore" for me, so i'm looking for some neowinians to play with - if anyone wants to play my name is "Ruran".

^So that's who added me ha ha.

[trag3dy]

I haven't played in a while, I was thinking to try it again but I suck. Last time I tried to play a month or two ago I had some annoying errors with Adobe Air so I gave up on it.

Updating now, but it's downloading the patch at 3kb/sec. Is there any where else to get patches from?

No idea, but it's odd you are getting such slow speeds - i was managing to get over 1 mbps last night when i patched.

[trag3dy]

I uninstalled and redownloaded it. It went much faster that way.

So I finally installed this after playing HoN for the past year. Really liking the set up and game play. I only played 3 matches last night, lost the 1st, won the 2nd and 3rd. Skills from HoN transfer over very well, and I was able to easily keep a 2:1 ratio, even when I was on the losing team. Still have to get used to ability power and description of items, but other than that I really like it. I will probably get on later tonight.

My chars name in it is NowNudda , Add me :)

This new patch hasn't let me play all day. :wacko:

Same, I've been getting absurd queues - and after waiting for 40 minutes i will get kicked out and it will say "Server error". I give up until tomorrow.

my gamer id is: zappyALICE

I have Garen and Ashe so far. I hate it when the game matches me up with lvl 30s

I also joined a clan called FEVER

Yeah, I made it through the queue twice. First time I got an error when the timer finished. Second time the launcher just stopped responding. I could turn the music off and animation but that's all.

Is this normal for patch days? :wacko:

The login queue started just recently. It was never like this before. I'm sure they have a lot of players but since it's a free game not enough money to upgrade servers (yet) or something along those lines...

Hello summoners,

As you all have noticed (or at least heard about) by now, we have been experiencing many service affecting issues concurrently and systematically that have lead to an exceptionally long downtime this patch day. While we are currently working diligently to resolve these issues, we feel you all deserve a better explanation of what happened today and why you have been unable to log in and play.

Given how vast this mornings complications have been however, that list is very long and will take a while to compile. As such I will work regressively, starting with frequent updates to what is happening right now and slowly add in the opposing direction with what has already happened and been resolved, and how we handled it.

Also, here is a public address by Pendragon regarding the downtime through the weekend and today: http://www.leagueoflegends.com/board...d.php?t=655229

(PST)

8:06pm - Initiating restart. Estimated time that the servers will become available: 10:00pm PST.

7:49pm - Website experiencing intermittent timeouts due to excessive traffic.

7:38pm - Organizing Rioter stream to entertain you all during the downtime.

7:28pm - One of our internal systems ran out of memory. We will need to do a full restart. The servers will be down for a minimum of 2 hours.

7:18pm - Patcher set to Unavailable while we diagnose.

7:13pm - Button pressed.

7:07pm - Reports of massive game lag.

7:03pm - Games not starting. Login failures. Unknown errors. Investigating.

6:44pm - Bear brought me a box of chocolate covered rice crispy treats. Awesome.

6:18pm - Everything still running smooth. Button disabled.

6:04pm - Everything still looking good so far. Everyone who was stuck in champion select will need to restart their clients in order to play again.

5:45pm - All systems are back online. Monitoring as we funnel players back in. Login queue time around 20 minutes.

5:31pm - One of the new boxes that was added to our server cluster failed and promptly removed. Queue time is currently 25 while we filter players back in.

5:01pm - We are currently having login and game start issues.

4:51pm - Chat, platform, and server issues presumably resolved.

4:47pm - Website back online.

4:36pm - Web issue identified as an issue with the firewall.

4:33pm - Chat issues, platform issues, website issues, and server issues all simultaneously being triaged.

4:30pm - Button pressed for North America.

4:23pm - Confirmed reports of platform issues. Summoner disconnects, crashes, and login failures. Began triaging live issues. Website back up.

4:10pm - Still working to remedy web issue. Players are able to login to the North American platform fine. Web issues not affecting PvP.Net.

3:55pm - Site extremely slammed. Put up the maintenance page to alleviate the server workload while we continued triaging.

3:47pm - Still triaging. Cause still elusive as the forums are serving intermittently, but most of the time inaccessible. Apache server began choking up.

3:38pm - Triaging of web servers in progress. Many boxes are responding while some are not. (Which made this very difficult to pinpoint and is also why some people were able to visit the website while others were not.)

3:30pm - North American forums and website went down. Investigation proceeded.

12:30pm - Audit complete. Corrupt data found in several locations. Downtime extended to 2p.m.

9:35am - Patch deploy took much longer than expected. Began patch audit.

3:04am - European servers explode (not literally). Not going to go into too much detail here but the issues that affected EU resulted in a considerable amount of our operations and production staff (the same staff that has been triaging NA all morning as well) were called in to address the issues. I'm going to bring them cookies tomorrow.

3:04am - All users out of games.

1:34am - Autoshutdown initiated for scheduled downtime.

They're still having issues.

It's been fine for my today. I played a match with 2 new players, and a leaver, and i somehow managed to carry the team as Ryze and we won 4v5. Extremely close, but also extremely fun.

[killmaster84]

I'm on a 6 game losing streak...I don't like this =/ Feel bad for f3llyn for playing with us and friends and I are all playing horrible.

[trag3dy]

Seriously? You shouldn't, if anything I'm holding you guys back. I died like 3 or 4 times to that Yi in the last game. For the most part I could have avoided those deaths too but I tend to get to aggressive.

I'm still trying to find the right character. I like Cho'gath a lot but he's a bit hard to get kills with. At least for me. :laugh:

[YounGMessiah]

Kennen all the way!

[Tharp Daddy]

Just went 24-1 as Fiddlesticks, and we won the game in 20 minutes - i was already level 16 with 4/5 of my item set. It was quite exhilarating being able to take on their whole team by myself.

[killmaster84]

I missed Ashe <3

[YounGMessiah]

Ashe is still there?

[killmaster84]

Ashe is still there?

Yes? She's one of the better carries.

[Tharp Daddy]

I literally one shot 4/5 people on their team by the end. Cho'gall was the only one who could stand more than one hit.

[YounGMessiah]

Yes? She's one of the better carries.

I meant to imply that, "she still is on there, I seen her", because you said I missed Ashe; guess I was confused lol.

[killmaster84]

Been playing LeBlanc lately, nice glass cannon. Two hitting Brand makes me giggle.

Double confusion go!

[shakey]

I've grown to love Jax. Went 24/3 with him on Tuesday. I've been playing this a lot more lately, though I still split my time between HoN and this. I'm now lvl 7 on LoL.

I find LoL either filled with people who don't know how to really play, or I just somehow play it very well. But I tend to lead the group after a couple of minutes, taking the initiative to lead attacks, gank, and become the carry/tank to push us through.

I like how LoL seems to make the spells each person have really compliment each other more so than HoN really. You can quickly link up attacks and just totally take someone down quickly if you know how. Not so with Jax, but he is more of a jump in and beat people up in the middle of confusion type of fighter. But tons of fun... Damn it, now I want to play, and I don't get off work for another 2 hours lol.
