Are Riot servers down? Valorant & LoL players report outage on April 7

Players across all Riot Games’ titles – including Valorant, League of Legends, and Legends of Runeterra – are currently experiencing disconnect and login issues.

Players started noting issues with lag, disconnects, and long login queues from 4:30pm PT on April 7. While these usually only affect one region at a time, all regions, including NA, EUW, and EUNE have been experiencing problems.

Riot are aware of the issue, tweeting out on the official Valorant account that the issues are affecting all games.

There are some Riot-wide server/login issues impacting all games. We’re working on a fix now.

A similar message can be found on the Legends of Runeterra and League of Legends server status page. “We’re aware of a problem causing login attempts to fail and are working on a fix,” it says.

It comes after League servers went down briefly across all regions on April 6 at around the same time.

Planned maintenance has been scheduled for most servers across the globe, as demand for Riot’s services continues to increase.
