On the east coast, just played with 34 ping

WutsKraken··99 votes·5,375 views

OMFG, I don't have to overcompensate with my skillshots back with 150 ping YES!!!!!! :D

I managed to dodge about 4/5 of the enemy Nidalee spears coming my way

I was also able to perfectly pull Alistar's WQ combo 10 times in a row without needing to hold down Q while mid Headbutt

Thank you Rito

Watch all of the players on the East Coast start missing skill-shots and last-hits because they keep leading them to account for their former lag.

It will probably take me a couple games to adjust, but it will be fantastic once I get used to it.

Yeah, we miss our skill-shots but can dodge the enemies now ;).

Yea its a little weird. Went from ~90 to a solid ~35. Last hitting is taking some time but skill shots are so much easier to dodge.

My first game under the low ping (I'm from southwest Michigan, so it dropped from 80 on a good day and 100-120 average to 30) I played Garen. Didn't have to worry about missing skillshots.

Do you have to worry about missing skillshots on Garen anyways? :D

That's kinda what I meant. It's isn't clear, but that's what I meant.

The best part of this is east coast can no longer blame their shitty play on the ping.

See, the worst part is that I can't even make a joke about you being salty because of your username.

My west coast ping went from 40 to 67 but that 67 is rock solid like WHAT. The game is BETTER at 67!!

DeynaTaggerung6 votes

Haha yeah I went from 70-14 and I haven't noticed any difference. Provided you're under 80 it's all more or less the same

Same here bro, I even live in Portland. I hardly noticed a difference in gameplay. Well played Rito.

Mine went from 60-80 to 84. No noticeable ping increase for better stability? Yes please.

I went from 80-120 to 35 and I'm still getting a ton of lag, although I'm certain that's because my internet at home is shit...thankfully I'll be back at school in 5 days where I'll have perfect internet connection...I can't wait to actually be able to play league again.

went from 90+ to 30-40. THANKS RIOT :D

I just went from 23 to 90+. Riot said the roles wouldn't be reversed, and I believed them. I hope there are still fixes on the way because this is really hard to play in.

ZenBudS1 votes

i agree. seems like a total role reversal. I think east coasters should be more sympathetic then trollish about it too. When did empathy become non existent to the riot community...

Wow.. I never knew NA pings were that bad... I get 20 ping consistently on EUW

WutsKraken5 votes

Well, on average NA East Coast pings were usually anywhere between like 70-150, I was on the unfortunate end of the spectrum

But with 34 ping...MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NOTHING WILL STOP ME!!!!!

It's fucking amazing. I'm used to 100 ping now I get 30. My CS % has shot up so much since i'm not missing nearly as many last hits.

I got a stable 31 T_T Now i know if I lag, it's probably my internet :>

I keep trying to check my ping via a custom game (I'm still at work) on my mac. But the mac client keeps crashing. I hope this doesn't mean bad things...

I went from 40ms to 95 today. Oh boy!

randomizer775 votes

I'm right there in that same range with you. I think it would be a good idea to have a west coast and east coast server {{summoner:2}}

reewinder4 votes

I live in Washington state and always had a 23 ping every game. Now it sits right at 64. So far haven't noticed any change in play but it's still too early to tell.

Niyumi4 votes

15ms to 90ms. I can feel the delay on everything now, and it's horrible. Shifting the problem from one coast to the other is NOT a solution, it's just a band-aid for the east coast crying about it all the time. We just need a server in both Chicago AND Portland, and then we have no issues -- but that would cost money, and I don't expect any F2P game company to be willing to spend money to improve their game because, honestly, they just don't care.

I think you mean every east coast player now. It's funny how you guys cried so much about it but now that it no longer affects you, it's fine. Yet you hate the west coast people who have the SAME attitude you did.

The hypocrisy is hilarious though, I'll grant you that.

dang am I the only one getting negative results from this? All day I've been getting unstable connections. I understand the ping increase but I am occasionally getting 1-2 second disconnects and constant 150--300 ping spikes. feelsbadman

Are you guys on the east coast saying ur ping used to be the same as mine!!!

Captain Aishi2 votes

as an anivia player, i have to relearn how to last hit because i currently missed 1/3rd of them because i attack too soon now that my ping is 100 lower D:

FrontlinerDelta2 votes

Welp, went to 110 from 70.

Thanks Riot! You were definitely right when you said you weren't just swapping the problem! :D

Jinxish2 votes

I live in Hawaii, haven't played with the server move yet... Wish me luck :D

BoxOfDOG2 votes

I lived right on top of the server location for 2 years straight, and now that it's moved I've gone from ~40 ---> 83/84

It's been a pretty weird transition.. I thought there wouldn't be that much effect (and to be fair, there kinda isn't) but there's this sliiighhhtt delay before I auto attack on a few champions that makes last hitting super awkward. Then a tiny itsy bitsy delay from my right clicks that I wouldn't have noticed if I wasn't paying attention.

All in all not too upset with the move.. **But what I am upset with is that my ISP is a bunch of Riven and Fizz mains, seeking to ruin my life by causing my internet to crap up so much, I can't watch more than 4 seconds of an episode of Parks and Rec on Netflix! YAY! **

I went from 30 something to 70 something. Couldn't hit my Q's as Malzahar anymore.

I can't tell if it's because of ping or because Zed is a bullshit champion.

ChenMingYang11 votes

I went from 120+ ping to 77 ping...wtf and I live in East Coast. AT and T is so noob. All my other East Coast friends are getting like 40 ping.. Eh whatever. It's a lot better than before.

Valenten2 votes

Riot said that they were working on putting equipment in place for AT&T and it would take a couple weeks soooo you should see a decrease once thats done :D
