The League client is struggling to get players past the login servers, while players already in the client are reporting that their service times are slow. According to the crowdsourced website Downdetector, most League players are struggling with server connection and login issues, with well over 50 percent of all active reports being in regard to server connection problems.

When players attempt to log into the League client, they’re met with an error message that reads “Unable to connect to the login queue. The platform may be down for maintenance.”
