So to recap:

Almost everyone on all servers suddenly stopped being able to create games. The few people that could create were swarmed by hordes of people trying to join their game.

Ranked play at least for me would match me but then the game wouldn't start. Worked for one of my friends though.

Random people started becoming admins and having the brown text.

All servers went down after about an hour of this.

Yea lol I think you're right, anyway the servers were definitely having major issues, I think it was some kind of DDoS

"The outage on US West was simply a software failure in the automatic deploy process, not an attack."
