What is this place?
This site used to track the uptime of the League of Legends server from 2011 to 2019.

Why?
I used to play League a lot. It seemed to be down a lot. Communication about the outages from Riot was not great and i thought it would be interesting to collect the data.

How?
Used a packet sniffer to determine what the client was trying to do when it logged in. Used this information to figure out a way of determining if the service was up or down. Collected this information every five minutes and stored it in a database. Then presented the info on this page broken down by intervals of five minutes, one day averages, and one month averages.

Results?
Usually over a span of about six month the servers would have an uptime of about 98.8%. Anyone that works in IT production will tell you this is not a great availability. You aim for 99.9% League was also know to have random long outages. There were months where the downtime was over 30 hours. One of those seemingly endless outages was the impetus for starting this site.

Why is it now longer tracking the uptime?
I stopped playing League years ago and don't care about the game at all. I have about eight years of this data now, but it takes up a lot of resources on my webserver to keep it here and display it here.
