 Spoiler

Friends and I queued up for a normal game today at around 11 PM. Just messing around, y'know, running Viktor/Karma bot. Loading screen starts and I notice one of the enemy team is a Diamond I player who I see in a bunch of featured games on an almost daily basis; I start freaking out since I apparently had to lane against him bot, him being an ADC main while I main support (not to mention the lane combo I was a part of). Anyway, game actually ended up going quite in our favor, our top lane Kha'Zix was 6/0 at one point and we didn't actually do too bad in bot lane outside of being out-CS'd since we don't have the mechanical skill of a Diamond I ADC main, until...the Singed on the enemy team says one of my friend's actual name in all chat. A minute or two passes by and then he says his full name, and my friend's internet is disconnected. A few minutes later he starts saying the names of everyone who was in the current Skype call, and "going down the list" of who he was to disconnect next. I tell my friends we're being intentionally DDoS'd but they don't believe me until it's just two people on our team trying to fight off triple-inhibitor-down super minion waves. The game lasted 40 minutes; we didn't surrender because we wanted more concrete evidence in the chat logs for when we would eventually report them all. It's kind of scary having someone read down everyone's name and then "pick them off" like that.

Man I was really looking forward to having an honest match with a Diamond I player I would normally think so highly of. We would have probably won too...

(...his teammates though were a bunch off prepubescent plantainwads though, thinking they could demand "RP payments" in order to stop the DDoSing/claiming they "knew riot employees" so our reports would be worthless. Little do they know I recorded the entire match (I did not ever disconnect as I have taken many precautions against such shenanigans))

Needless to say, we weren't ready AT ALL. 0/5 games won. We're now Bronze 5. Whoo! ._. I'm so depressed. We have a LOT of practicing to do before we're even close to ready for trying that again...

Corn Wrote:Oh relax. That only means your ranked team is in the bottom 10% of League players, which is honestly not that bad considering you and Zelkova just hit level 30 (...didn't realize Zelkova was 30 O_O). Not to mention your placement is not solely due to your performance in the placement matches. It also relies on your individual elos.

chrome Wrote:That doesn't make anything about their placement sound any better.

WillDaSnail Wrote:Wow, that's kind of messed up. And in normals too (which is even more sad). Sorry to hear you had to go through all of this. Did you send in a support ticket as soon as you gathered all the evidence you needed?

GodHaseo Wrote:I'm looking to get better at this game and would like to play with people with the same attitude I haven't touched rank because I know myself that I would rather do it when I have a team that knows what to do and not just a bunch of randoms going off on there own.

NotaryPublic Wrote:Yes, I recorded the entire match, uploaded it, and sent that to Riot in a support ticket. I also instructed my friends how to trace the IP that the attacks were originating from, and it seems he was based in the United Kingdom; I have contacted the ISP of that area hoping something will be done. Riot has yet to respond to my ticket, but my four friends who also sent in tickets with screenshots received automatically-generated messages telling them "how to know you're being hit by a DDoS attack" instead of anything relevant to the fact that we were explicitly being told by the attacker that we were next to be disconnected, etc.
