Alright, I'm in my Clash Finals, i'm feeling good. You know what happens? From 1 to 8 minutes or so, ping spikes up to 40k ms. Now, I thought that maybe my router broke, but no. Everyone on team says they're lagging, and discord is going on just fine. The first 8 minutes of the match were unplayable for not only my team, but also the enemy team. Is this really gonna count as a loss for me because I couldn't do anything? Really Riot?
RiotBazerka14 votesThis is part of the beta / test experience. I imagine all the data is being run to understand what caused lag spikes / issues and are being fixed. Unfortunately problems like that really only reveal themselves with lots and lots of players playing :X. Hope it wasn't too bad though!

;) never said it wasn't bad. But the good news is I'd imagine we now know what caused the 40k ping spike and are working to make sure it doesn't happen again in future clashes :D.
JámZ1 votesI'm hoping this won't count as a loss, because that wouldn't make any sense.
INEEDmoreCOWbell3 votessince you cant replay it if you lose you lose.
Z3SIeeper3 votesHonestly man, Clash isn’t that important. You get a cosmetic banner on your profile and a chance at a more decent skin shard for placing higher.

Do you have anything concrete to relay? Prefacing everything with "I'd imagine" is an indication that we're not getting real information.

Do you know how beta testing works? They probably have an idea of what the issue is but aren't 100% sure, which tends to be the case from what I've heard about this stuff. He's being honest in that he doesn't know but has an idea
I'm all for biting Riot's head off when they do stupid shit, but this isn't kne of those times.

The key is the repeated "I imagine." "Someone's probably working on it" and "people have probably figured it out by now" are very different from "we are working on it" and "we have figured it out." The former is an educated guess that anyone could make. The latter would be concrete information that actually says something about actual events that actually occurred.
I'm sorry if my post gave the impression that I was biting anyone's head off. I'm rereading it and it still doesn't seem that way to me in the slightest.

I'd imagine that the rioter either A.) doesn't work for riot and simply is a volunteer B.) he isn't in charge of knowing everything thats happening 24/7 because hes a human being
If they had figured it out, they'd probably tell you what the issue was. Seeing as how they haven't, it probably means they don't know what the issue is. And of course you don't think you're biting anyone's head off. You're the person who wrote it.

Bazkera (to our knowledge) isn't part of the Clash team so the repeated "I imagine" comments are only logical inferences because they don't know either. Not every Rioter is involved with everything and anything going on at Riot.
Jennifer4202 votesim just curious... wasnt the beta supposed to be the other 2 times clash came around and broke everything? didnt riot state they removed fucking epic rotating gamemodes FOR THIS!?
idk man but shouldnt this thing work at SOME POINT

A beta isn't a one-and-done thing, dude. It can still be in beta because they're still testing it.
And it does work, I played Clash last night, all three matches were smooth sailing as far as performance goes. Couldn't have run better, honestly.
It's not going to work all the time, especially if it's beta, but if it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it works for nobody. That's how testing works.
Still don't condone losing RGMs for this though.

If I recall correctly, the reason Clash melted down twice before is that the service fell over trying to start too many simultaneous games. I can't help but wonder if we're still seeing an echo of that here.
Modl Ryden l5 votesTo be fair, the announcement for this weekends Clash testing was to test and see if their feature could be handled after they had refactored they're approach. So stuff like this was to be expected.
Chiitose2 votesHappened to everyone
FOR JUSTICE2 votesmost likely will receive a loss prevented because this actually happened quite a bit more then expected
