Disable VPN

If you’re using a VPN to play League of Legends, try disconnecting it. The game isn’t geographically restricted so you don’t really need a VPN to play it. It’s possible that the VPN itself has problems which in turn are causing the Unexpected login session error. Try connecting without a VPN.

Conclusion

League of Legends has thousands of players online at any given time. It isn’t new to dealing with a large number of players and its servers are more than capable of handling them. The Unexpected login session error has more to do with the game that’s running on your desktop than it does with the game’s online servers. Specifically, something stored locally is either corrupt or has expired (much like a cookie) and the game is unable to refresh it. A simple forced sign out is the key to fixing the problem in most cases.
