League of Legends is blocked in Syria and Iran

Because of major sanctions to be imposed by the US tomorrow Monday, League of Legends is blocked in Syria and Iran due to U.S. Govt. restrictions, disappointing fans. As a US company, Riot Games has to comply.

As seen on a Riot Games post, a screenshot shows the following message: “Due to U.S. laws and regulations, players in your country cannot access League of Legends at this time. Such restrictions are subject to change by the U.S. government, so if and when that happens, we look forward to having you back on the Rift.”

According to the user who posted the screenshot, Legends is unplayable. “I played league for years. A lot of people I know too. We can’t play anymore. I love League of Legends. I wanna play. It’s the only game i enjoy playing. Please let us play.
Political problems between Iran and America is between governments. Players and people have nothing to to with this.”
