Hi guys, i thought i'd come here as Riot customer service hasn't managed to solve my issues and the forums here are a life saver. So, ill get into the problem.

Playing league i get the error message that comes up saying "attempting to reconnect" it doesn't happen every game but if it does happen i will be unable to play for the entire game because of either not being able to reconnect or constant disconnects occurring about every 20 seconds. I have been corresponding with Riot and they have gotten me to change my DNS, turn of IPv6, disable all firewalls and uninstall antivirus software but to no avail.

I've been avoiding playing for the last couple of days because i don't want to get banned for leaving games and i have been playing some other games. I am getting error messages in some of these games saying "connection timed out" so i was wondering if my problem in league may be that i'm timing out as well. Are there any simple solutions for fixing this issue. I'm connected to the internet via WiFi and i'm not able to connect using an ethernet cable. I'm running windows 7.

Thanks in advance.

What ISP are you with? My friend used to get this all the time with Virgin Media, he wasn't on the fibre broadband though, and was using a 3rd party wireless dongle, when he started using a wire it fixed all his lag/disconnect problems.
 
I used to get this in WoW years ago. Web pages were fine but I got constant disconnects after a certain time of the evening. It turned out to be a problem at the cabinet.

But also as above your wifi dongle could be the issue here. Have you another one you can try?
 
I'm not actually sure what the ISP is because it's in a communal house. I'm hoping that we'll upgrade to fibre optic soon. I don't have another dongle i can try but i was thinking about buying a network card. Are there any you would recommend? Yeah it's really strange, i dont seem to disconnect from wow but i disconnect from league all the time.
 
wifi in a shared house - that will tell you all you need to know.

Probably patchy wifi and someone is no doubt hammering the connection.

Options:
Go wired
Tell your housemates to only dl porn at set times
Get faster internet
 
To find out who your ISP go to http://www.speedtest.net/ and look under the IP address on the left hand side, it should say like Virgin Media, BT etc there.

You can then try maybe calling up the ISP and see if they can do a line test on your broadband to see if they find anything. I still think the problem will be either the Router or the Wireless dongle though, my friend couldn't play league for weeks but could stream videos, when he changed to a cable it worked fine.
 
I did a check, im with plusnet. I'll look into getting a network card and see if that works any better

that's ur problem right there. I would close everything down when you play League, there is an app you can use, i think Razor makes one, that will shut down everything for you, it's worth a shot + it's free, but i would say ur net speed is the problem.
 
Ok thanks. i dunno if that is it because i can still stream tv which i think takes a lot more net than playing games.
 
That's not the problem, I only have 2-3mbs and I don't have this issue, I will get ping spikes when other's are using the internet aswell but never attempting to reconnect.
