A good suggestion for Riot reguarding lag
So i got home from being out for a few hours and wanted to play a quick ranked game or two before bed, well in champ select i noticed my game lagging already, it took like 5 seconds to register my selected champ. So im thinking "oh great im gonna have lag problems....well a simple soft reset should fix it"
Yeeeah i entered the game and had ping spikes of 80-250, i decided to just cut my losses and reset the modem....i never came back, my team was so tilted they all just afked and let the enemy team push mid for game 13 minutes (i checked my match history)
So my suggestion to riot is.... GET BETTER SERVERS! cough actually i got a better idea, because this was probably my side lag as my modem was probably just over heating or something. Have the LoL client show your ping under the play button (it can be an option to turn on or off in the menu screen) or make it so we dont have to create a custom game (which btw has a bug where if i try to make a game it takes a few seconds to "receive data from server" only to fail and then let me setup the bots) but yeah it would take like 3 minutes just to create a custom game to see if my ping is in the 40 range...Most of the time my internet is fine so i dont even bother, but my ranked game could have been avoided had i saw my ping acting funny before i queued.
Now i dont even want to play anymore, At least not for a few days. It makes me feel bad man knowing i was that guy who lagged out and afked. I mean im a try hard, im gold 3 aiming for diamond
So riot please add a simple to use latency check on your client (because online ones only check latency from your pc to their servers, not the chicago riot games servers) That way players can log in and before clicking play see the ping they will have in game and prevent these lame afk freelo matches from happening.
