League of Legends ranked play disabled due to Recall bug

League of Legends developer Riot Games has had to shut down ranked play.

A League of Legends bug with serious game balance effects has brought ranked play offline.

Kotaku reports players recently discovered a bug allowing them to cast Recall (teleport to base) without a charge timer.
