India, June 24 -- League of Legends was down for thousands of gamers on Thursday, June 23, and many took to social media to complain to Riot Games. At the time of writing, Downdetector logged over 5,000 gamers facing problems with the multiplayer online battle arena video game.

The gamers appeared to be getting a black screen with the loading icon visible. One wrote "what's going on with League of Legends".

Another added "lol when will league of legends stop adding things to the game that are useless and start fixing the damn client." Yet another wrote on the Downdetector comment section "Client opens, most other stuff in client doesnt load after login, RP and be missing, etc, won't let click play and so forth."

A cause for the reporte...
