Downdetector.com counts the outage
Downdetector.com later showed nearly 10,000 users reporting an issue with League of Legends. That scale suggests the problem was not limited to one player or one connection.
Riot Games checker stays quiet
Riot Games' status checker did not indicate an issue at that time. It said League of Legends had a scheduled patch for 1:30 p.m. PDT on Wednesday.
Anthony W. Haddad on the report
Anthony W. Haddad was named in the article by GV Wire. For players trying to log in on Tuesday, the practical sign was simple: the launcher was the part most often failing, so repeated sign-in attempts were the first thing most users were already dealing with.
The open question is what caused the reported outage. The numbers show a broad disruption, but the checker and the outage reports were not pointing to the same picture at the same moment.
