The amount of disconnects is HORRIFYING. I haven't had a game in a long time without one, and they always seem to work out against me.

There is no way you are going to be able to do ranked games like this. You need to implement some kind of pause feature or something when someone disconnects to give them a chance to get back into the game. Perhaps give both teams two 2-minute "Time Outs" they can take IF AND ONLY IF they are down a player.

Just... do something. I'm so frustrated with losing games 0-30 when we are ahead 300-30 because someone disconnected at the wrong time.

What makes you think it's something on Riot's end? Entirely possible that people are disconnecting due to issues completely unrelated to Riot.

Regardless, pause feature would be nice.

Yeah I can't believe the server issues as of late. Then again you get what you pay for...it's a free2play game...

i couldn't get in a game for 5 straight til i finally uninstalled my firewall and reinstalled lol, the patch did a number for some reason. so i can say that it was my side that was having the issue, though im sure it would appear as a dc in game.

Because I don't experience this issue anywhere nearly as frequently on Summoner's Rift. In fact, I cannot remember the last time I had a game on SR where someone didn't load in at all after champion select.

I had this issue 4 times last night. In one case I had someone who disconnected from a winning game just before we won, and it became a losing game (4v5 doesn't work in CS AT ALL). He kept trying to get back in but couldn't. I'm sure he was as frustrated as we were, especially since he received a "leave" for it.
