The Season of Fulfilling Promises: Portland Server?

You guys still have it...so...could you pay the power bills and then plug it into the wall? I'd love for Hawaii, Alaska, and the West Coast to get playable ping once again. Thank you for the replays, sandbox mode, and most of all the absolutely AMAZING new client. I'm not joking when I say that I log into League sometimes just to look at and explore the new client. Thanks for refreshing the game, and I look forward to playing in the 2017 season. See you soon Riot!

They've already stated multiple times that they have no intention of dividing the NA server into 2 servers

However they also said that this was the season that they were going to truly listen to their playerbase. This is our season, and so I have hope. Even if they don't reinstate the Portland server, my comment may be the straw that made the camel improve the Chicago server!

The West Coast holds too many games hostage as it is. Aside from WoW, I've had to suffer with shitty ping on damn near every game I ever played as I am East Coast. Studies show the majority of players(in general not just LoL) are East Coast so why would Riot bother with that again?

I'm saying that BOTH should be on.

It'd be great having terrible ping again because I live in the middle of the country instead of one of the coasts, I'd love that. /sarcasm

In all seriousness, I lived in WESTERN South Dakota during that time and I had lower and more stable ping on LAN and EUW than on NA when the server was in Portland (despite Portland obviously being closer). I'd really not like to repeat that experience.

No, no, no...I'm saying that they should have them BOTH on. It would improve your experience by lightening the load on the Chicago server, and would be beneficial for everyone.

West coast absolutely has playable ping. I admit Alaska and Hawaii are kinda screwed, though.

91 ping is playable... it's not ideal, I just want my 12 ping back, because I pay for decent internet... I want it to mean something.

And for fuck sake, I get better ping on R6S... and that is UBISOFT SERVERS, you'd think rito would at least wanna be all like "Oh shit, lets not have something worse than the ubisoft servers!"

92-8000 ping is bad. I pretty much play Russian Roulette whenever I play, which is terrible for ranked.

I have 67 ping 100% stable, literally has not fluctuated since they moved to Chicago, and I live in Portland. It's your internet pal

Week one I went to 200-8000 ping, and ever since it fluctuates between 91 and 250. That's not HORRIBLE, but it's not great for those of us in rural areas. I know someone in Hawaii too, and it's an absolute nightmare for them.
