It's a conspiracy! Riot has contracted a Chinese firm to eliminate the competition!

Seriously though. This is getting kind of bad. I love hon but it's down sooo much now.

Could you guys please (pretty please

) update this thread if / when it comes back on again? I don't want to waste my time trying to log in, gonna do something useful (while periodically checking here

).

I'd rather wade through this topic than the shithole the HoN official forums seem to be...

I wonder who's targetting s2 after all this :o they said there was that guy in the UK? I know nothing :o

The story I heard the most is that some guys from the uk and croatia ddosed the server whenever they were about to lose to avoid getting the stats uploaded. S2 games banned them and then they started ddosing the servers nonstop as revenge.

I'm no expert here but I guess it's pretty hard to prove. They're using botnets for the attacks so I'm guessing it's not easy to get some evidence to use in court.
If someone with more knowledge of ddos cares to explain, I'm wondering the same thing here.

Facebook is the new shizzle in finding criminals. I am never ceased to be amazed how criminals expose themselves on FB, do they think noone will find out? Jeez.
