Server move and Lag - Hawaii

I honestly believe that Riot made the right business choice to choose west coast over Hawaii since they will probably generate more money than Hawaii alone. However, Riot has barely attempted to communicate what will happen to Hawaii to Hawaii players. Riot needs to do something about the server lag that many Hawaii players have endured.

Me and my friends already play at around 90-120 ping before the server move, now it's going to get worse. Riot said that Hawaii is going to experience a ping increase up to 45ms, which is a pretty significant jump. We already play with high ping and Riot is just going to sweep us under the rug.

Well this thread is probably gonna die before a rioter can reply soooo oh wellz.

Honestly, i'm about to just drop league all together, before this i had 85-93 ping, after the server change i'm at 150 stable and it constantly goes up to 170~180 regularly. Welp gg boyz rito done abandoned us time to go find a new game to play.

the next step in riot's plan: put the servers in space! that way, everyone can ping the server at the same time for half of the planet! XD

though i'm actually glad they're moving the servers...I don' tknow how good the internet is in hawaii (probably very good because it's a tourist destination), but rural areas of the US can find it nearly impossible to play the game even with decent internet and ping spikes were far too common with the servers on the west coast

It's pretty obvious what's going to happen. They even put out that little chart. You're looking at 50+ ping increase.

I agree mate. My ping is 88 when the planets align, though it's typically around 98-120. With a internet provider like Time Warner, ping spikes to 200 is quite common.
