When I started League of Legends this evening, i sat in a login queue with is pretty rare on EUW. Worried by the fact that the numbers on the Queue were static or missing completly, I had a look at their new Service Status Page.
After i didn't find the Button to switch to EUW (it defaults to NA even though i am logged in with an EUW account) and edited the url by hand, i found two current Messages:
-
Login Issues: Due to recent issues, there is currently a large login queue that will delay login times while it drains.
-
Ranked Queues Disabled: Ranked queues are temporarily disabled while we investigate an issue that's negatively impacting games.
Looking at these messages i would think we should be able to play Normals or ARAM, but we dont. I think Riot should give some accurate and precise information on issues like these, for example an estimate would also nice to have. Especially the second message seems more like a "catch-all" message to me, whenever there is some issue, we get this message without any details or updates whatsoever.
I personally have the feeling these message where better when the Service Status messages were Forum Threads and Rioters occasionally replied with updates to them.
EDIT:
The Region switch is grey on black background below the "About League of Legends" link.
BTW Even the EUW client links to the NA Service Status
