How long are the servers down this time? Keep trying to check the server status but the server status page is down too. Clever.
I;m just trying to figure out why they're even host the website AND game on the same server to begin with.
They need to dedicate all their funds to developing more and more champions. Having servers come up for 60 minutes so everyone buys a champ, then bringing it all back down again must be a nice cash spike.

I bet they don't host the game and site on the same server :) I haven't looked but, I'd be amazed if they did. Possibly even separate data centers. Someone could verify that doing a little tracing.
The problem is, when the game goes down a huge traffic spike hits the web server and then that goes down too. Same problem happens on WoW during big patches. My guess is that paying to maintain the infrastructure required to handle these rare spikes on the website is too high to make it worthwhile for them.
Same reason MMOs introduce login queues instead of buying piles of hardware and bandwidth to handle everyone at once - they know that the next day all that traffic will be gone and it will have been a waste of money.
So just pretend that saved money is going into building awesome new things for the game ;)
