I'm usually the last to accuse Riot of neglect, but when there are so many posts on this, and even a reddit post on /r/leagueoflegends that got over 2500 upvotes, and still no response from Riot, I would naturally get upset. I planned to climb a couple divisions, and play enough ranked 5s to get the ward skin, but none of that can happen until this patch gets fixed. I can't even play with my friends because of it. Occasional ping spikes are bearable, but when I have to close out and reconnect every time that happens, the game becomes unplayable. This is especially bad considering the state of my computer, and specifically the amount of time it takes me to connect to game. I really want to keep playing this game, but until there is some solution to this problem, I'm not going to jeopardize 4 other players' games because of it.
