Is LoL PH down? Here's how to check server status

League of Legends, simply known as LoL or League, is a popular PC MOBA game that is played by millions of gamers around the world. However, like any online game, the Riot Games-developed title can be prone to server issues that can affect the ability of players to connect to the game and play.

League of Legends Philippines (LoL PH) has its own dedicated server since Riot Games regained the publishing rights of LoL and TFT from Garena for the Southeast Asian region. If you are experiencing problems connecting to LoL PH, it is important to check the server status to see if there are any known issues that are impacting the game.

Most of the time, it is difficult to determine whether the problem lies on your end or on Riot's servers. In 2024, there are a number of easy ways to determine if LoL PH is down.

How to check LoL PH's server status?

Knowing how to check LoL PH's server status is important, as it can save you a great deal of time when troubleshooting. Here's how to check the LoL Philippines server status.

Method 1: Check Riot's official service status

To know if League of Legends Philippines is performing maintenance or experiencing a service interruption, you can check [Riot's Service Status page].

If an issue or outage has occurred within the past 24 hours, the page will indicate it. It may not always be completely accurate, but it should give you a fair idea of what's happening. If all is well, the message will read, "No recent issues or events to report." This is the best way to check the status of LoL PH.

Method 2: Use a third-party "service monitoring" website

A good alternative for checking LoL PH's status is by visiting "service monitoring" sites like Downdetector [https://downdetector.ph/status/league-of-legends]. The website monitors server outages in real time and provides a comprehensive timeline of problems in the previous twenty-four hours. If LoL PH is down, the site should be flooded with hundreds or thousands of reports.

If everything is normal and the website has detected no server outages, the problem is likely on your end.

Method 3: Check Riot Games Support Twitter

You can also follow Riot Support on Twitter [https://twitter.com/riotsupport] to know the status of its servers. If there's a major issue with LoL PH, Riot will almost definitely tweet about it.

If an issue occurs, Riot Games will tweet something like the following lines:

• "We're aware that some players are receiving an unexpected error when trying to access LoL, and we're working on a fix."
• "Due to patching issues, you may be unable to launch the client or access certain parts of the client. We are aware of this issue and working on a resolution."

What to do if the LoL PH server is up, but you can't play?

If the server is up, but you're still unable to queue up for a League match (normal, ranked, or ARAM) or log into the game, there may be a connection issue on your end. Before trying any troubleshooting methods, you should check whether there are any pending updates for LoL. You can also try to repair LoL to ensure the integrity of its game files. Once logged in to the Riot client, click the profile icon and select Settings, then League of Legends, and click the Repair button. After doing this and you're still unable to play LoL, here are some of the troubleshooting methods you can perform.

Restart your router and computer

Sometimes, a simple reboot of your computer and WiFi router can resolve connectivity issues, especially if a software bug causes it.

Run League of Legends as an administrator

To run League of Legends as an admin, right-click its desktop icon and select "Run as administrator." If the problem persists, you may try the succeeding methods.

Switch to a wired connection or a mobile hotspot

If you play on WiFi, try connecting your computer to your router through a LAN Ethernet cable (RJ45), or tether your mobile data plan by turning on your smartphone's mobile hotspot feature.

Contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP)

If all else fails, you can try contacting your ISP to inform them of your situation. For your reference, here are the official Facebook pages of major telco companies in the Philippines: PLDT [fb.com/pldthome], Globe [fb.com/globeph], and Converge ICT [fb.com/convergeict]. Likewise, you can call these customer service hotlines: 171 (for PLDT) and 211 (for Globe). On their end, your respective ISP operator can utilize additional tools to check the current status of your network. Issues detected by your ISP may be resolved with a simple reset on their end, or they may instruct you on additional troubleshooting steps.

Submit a support ticket to Riot Games

If all the methods previously mentioned didn't work for you, you might consider directly submitting a support ticket to Riot [https://support-leagueoflegends.riotgames.com/hc/requests/new].
