League of Legends Down For Maintenance

Massive MOBA League of Legends is currently offline in North America for maintenance, and it will remain that way for many more hours. Riot Games writes on its website that the "extended downtime" began this morning at 12:01 AM Pacific and will run for 12 hours.

"For about 12 hours, you won't be able to log into the client or play League on the NA sever," Riot explained. "During this downtime, you also won't be able to refer a friend, sign up for a new account, change your password, update your email address, or modify your account."

Maintenance periods for major online games are nothing new, though Riot didn't explain exactly what it's hoping to fix or change with the maintenance.
