Quiting League of Legends for Overwatch because of no US West servers

RAINDROP WALKA··6 votes·1,591 views

I just can't play on 110 ping anymore. It ruins a close game and also limits the amount of champions I can play at high level. My movement is delayed which forces me to have sloppy ADC skills. I still like League of Legends more then overwatch but just haven't had fun in a while. I would certainly come back though if riot add US West Servers.

As someone who played on the East Coast before the server move, I find posts like these funny. I know this isn't a constructive post in itself, but this is still funny to me.

The ping holds them back from getting silver.

OMG so funny for me too. I was playing 150 Ping daily here in Ontario Canada. Now I am at 35 and LOVE seeing these people complain for them NORMALIZING the ping lol

Would love it and I would tell you all the ones on the list I performed with 110 Ping. lol

You play long enough you get the timings to a point where it's almost the same muscle memory as 30 Ping.

"cant play on 110 ping"??

First world problems to the max.

I used to live near Riot HQ and got 9 ping and I was a god at Vayne. Now Im living in Japan getting 200-250 ping and I still play just fine. Last hitting is a little bit more difficult, but you get used to it and theres no problem.

As someone who played on the East Coast for multiple years before Riot finally centralized their servers, you have zero sympathy from me. You guys had West Coast servers for YEARS, quit fucking crying.

thats not the point, its to make an EVEN play level for all players and riot has the money to do it so they should :)

my ping before servers moved was 100-200 on a good day and bad days were 400-500 (east coast AND college wifi, it sucked)

Everyone on the east coast played for years with higher ping than that. And everyone on the west coast said it didn't matter. So get over it.

I actually just made a very similar post in the General Discussion. I feel the same way. I am just very frustrated at this point. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/GD/fyUNIBzp-why-i-am-quitting-league-for-overwatch-even-though-i-believe-league-is-the-better-game

Where on earth do you live? I live in Seattle and I average 60~. Do you like live in Hawaii?

I live in Cali. Have some of the crappiest internet, most unreliable internet ever. One day it can be 80-110 and the next 300-400. When I hear people complain about 60 ms cause they normally have lower it makes me sick since I've never gone below 79 haha.

"I just can't play on 110 ping anymore" did i say i get 60 ping? i don't think so...

Step 1) stop crying, Step 2) get better internet.

it's your own fault if you don't, not riot's.
