Cover-Credits:
Riot Games is performing extended maintenance on its North American servers for League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics (TFT). The developer took to Twitter to announce the 12-hour maintenance break going live today. The maintenance will affect the main League of Legends client including Teamfight Tactics. TFT mobile is also affected by maintenance.
As mentioned in the tweet, both League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics will be unavailable today from 1:00 AM PST (4:00 AM ET) until 1:00 PM PST (4:00 PM ET). Ranked queues will also be disabled until the scheduled maintenance is done. This has affected Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android platforms.
Usually, server maintenance updates last a couple of hours. While Riot did not provide any more details about what exactly it is fixing, the 12-hour period indicates a fairly major issue. Riot Support has been hard at work in the past few weeks, most recently during the latest Star Guardian event which suffered delays in Star Guardian: Another Sky rewards processing.
Some players have reported being thrown out of games before the maintenance went live at 12:30 AM PST (3:30 AM ET). If you’ve received leaver penalties during this period, you can raise a ticket with Riot Support and get the issue resolved. To create a League of Legends ticket, you need to login into your official Riot Games account that you use to sign into the game. Support tickets can be created to report bugs, seek assistance with technical issues, report cheaters, and more.
