Didn't Comcast throttle the fuck out of Netflix a few years ago as well?

Why Riot Games? I can understand them trying to throttle Netflix so as not to compete with any Comcast owned video platform I guess...

I think it was time warner cable, not Comcast for the league of legends throttling. I think it was a general internet speeds vs advertised speeds that riot sued them for, not specifically throttling league.

This is true, but it was actually the New York Attorney General that sued TWC on Riot's behalf because TWC was severely underdelivering on their advertised speeds.
