League of Legends error

Error 1B: your ISP is getting in the way of the login

League clientLogin

Riot's name for this error

League of Legends Error 1B

What it means

A connection problem between your internet provider and League's servers is stopping the login. Riot says it usually sorts itself out in a couple of hours.

What to try first

Run the League client as administrator and try again. Otherwise, give it an hour or two.

Is it you or Riot? If lots of players are hitting this at once, it's probably the servers. Check League server status before you start reinstalling things.

What Riot says about 1B

Riot's League error table gives 1B two lines. The error keeps you from logging in, and Riot puts the cause with internet providers: something on the ISP's end is disrupting your connection to League's servers.

That makes it different from Error 7, where Riot's own servers are the ones struggling. With 1B the servers can be fine and you still can't get through.

How to fix it

Riot's one suggestion is to launch the League client in administrator mode, on PC. Right-click the shortcut, choose Run as administrator, and log in from there.

If that changes nothing, Riot's advice amounts to waiting. The table says 1B is known to fix itself within a couple of hours. It's still worth a quick look at League server status so you know which side you're waiting on.
