What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useFails

From Syria, the Riot Client stayed on "Updating" while installing Riot Vanguard. The tester says installing Vanguard or a game that needs it stalls at "Preparing files" or "Updating files" and never finishes.

Landing pageWorks

The tester says the Riot Games website opens from Syria.

Sign-upWorks

A user in Syria was using their own Riot account from a Syrian connection, signed in to the desktop client, which shows an account can be held and used from Syria.

Sign-inFails

In the League of Legends: Wild Rift app, an existing Riot account showed "Login timed out, please try again" (100010) on entering the game, so sign-in did not complete.

PaymentFails

Payment needs a signed-in Riot account, and sign-in failed in this test with a login timeout.
