Having the exact same problem just today.

I completely uninstalled, re-installed and patching now, will let you know if this worked.

Obviously, they don't care.
I just got banned because I couldn't connect to this stupid game because of this bug or glitch or whatever the hell it is.
Press "Reconnect." Nothing happens. Press again. Same ****.
Thanks, Riot. Thanks a bunch.

So, one thing I've noticed a few people have done a system restore of some point, I personally did it, is anyone else experiencing this issue that recently did some form of a roll back on their computer?

So, after uninstalling and re-installing and patching the game this issue is fixed.

There has always been an issue with LoL and rolling your computer back, sadly the only known fix to this is as I said above, it takes a couple hours but it will fix your issue.

i cannot reconnect, after player selection, played a couple of minutes, now its saying that my firewall is blocking the connection and its off, and all the anti virus stuff

this happen to me 2 days ago and i still cant play -.-
plzzzzz repair ASAP

Same problem for 4 days. I've tried everything.

I just to got this Email yesterday but didn't see it till today.

"Greetings (Me),

It sounds like you experienced what we refer to as a ghost game. It is caused when the game server you were playing on fails to communicate the game-end message to PVP.Net.

The ghost game will last a maximum of 2 hours after this occurs. It often ends much earlier because the game server is simply backed up. Sometimes this issue can be fixed by relogging into League of Legends. Occasionally, restarting your computer may help. These actions force the client to request a new update.

Another side effect of the Ghost game is a delay with receiving your Influence Points, Experience or ELO. Once the game "clears" the server, these values will be updated on your account accordingly.

If the issue persists or occurs frequently it may indicate a problem with your connection. If this is the case, I would be more than happy to help you find the cause. If it was just this a one time occurrence, it was likely due to a delay in our server.

I am sorry for the inconvenience and wish you luck in your future matches.

Patience is a virtue.
Warmest Regards,
Benzino

I hope that helps everyone!
