Many League of Legends players around the world found themselves unshackled from Riot's hit MOBA recently when it became apparent they couldn't log in. Alas, the reprieve was temporary, and it turns out the reason for the outage stemmed from a classic accounting issue.
On Sunday, January 4, fans of the longstanding multiplayer game were left without access for a period of time. Servers around the world appeared to be down, prompting all sorts of speculation about what could be going on at Riot Games for something as big as League of Legends to suddenly go out like this.
