League of Legends patch 12.16 server downtime (August 24): Maintenance schedule for all regions, Ranked Queue disabled, and more

League of Legends patch 12.16 will be going live in some time. In anticipation of the update, Riot Games will be temporarily taking down its servers across all regions.

The developers will be conducting maintenance, and the servers are expected to remain offline for around three hours before players can once again log into the game.

According to the official statement on the League of Legends Server Status website, the MOBA will first be disabling all Ranked Queues before taking the servers down for the patching process.

Riot Games mentioned:

“Starting at 08/24/2022 01:30 PDT Ranked Queues will be disabled in preparation for patch 12.16. At 08/24/2022 03:00 PDT the servers will be shut down and all games currently in progress will end in a draw and stats will not be recorded. We estimate the battlegrounds will be unavailable for 3 hours.”

While the developers have mentioned that the maintenance will last approximately three hours, it might extend beyond that, depending on the number of features that need to be worked on.
