Common problemLeague of Legends
League of Legends keeps saying Attempting to Reconnect
Connection drops during a match
The Attempting to Reconnect box appears when the connection is badly disrupted and the game is trying to catch up on missing data. Your champion may freeze while everything else keeps going.
How to fix it
Check the server status page and ask your provider whether there is a problem in your area.
Switch from Wi-Fi to a wired cable.
Close streaming, music and voice chat apps while you play.
Turn off third-party firewalls for a test, and change your DNS to a public one.
Unplug your router, wait fifteen seconds and plug it back in.
