This issue is mainly affecting the servers and players trying to connect from Asia. An undersea cable is failing to relay signals, possibly due to a cable cut which was the routing path for a major ISP. Riot is currently working with the major ISP for rerouting and fixing the VAL 43 error. If you are also receiving this error, no need to worry you are not alone. Riot is actively working on the issue and should be sorted out soon. However, if you are receiving other errors including DNS, this could possibly be because of your ISP.
