40 MS less latency in Michigan (Midwest) Thanks Rito?

Stranger Ways··5 votes·1,629 views

Title

I don't know if this was part of the work that Rito has been doing on network stuffs, but my latency has recently dropped form 110+ MS down to a consistent 70 MS. Now, 70 is still not competitive (some say) but I have noticed a fairly significant difference.

So Rito, if this was you, one earnest and average skill level Midwest Player thanks you

Yeah, I am in a bit of a small town & I have been running on 110 ever since I graduated from Michigan State. (Where I had a pretty standard 80)

My ISP is Charter, and I know they are on Rito's Good Guy List now

Nice. A 40ms drop is significant.

70 ping and that's while on the Rito network? Jesus Christ. There is no hope for us easterners. If 70 ping is what I have to look forward to some day in far future I might as well uninstall now and forget that LoL existed.

Those cheapasses made over $1,000,000,000 USD revenue in 2014. Yes over 1 billion dollars, and yet they adamantly refuse to provide an east server, a server, the most essential and basic component of online service. The greed is unreal.

Making an East Coast server would make them more money. The people on the East Coast would be more likely to have fun playing and so may spend more. Not making ECS is probably bad for Riot as far as money goes. Not greed.

What you describe would happen but do you really think the fat finance managers will say that? They just want to look out for themselves, they want to show they've helped make the most profit ASAP, short term. Whatever makes them look good.

You would have to have a very low opinion of the intelligence of everyone at Riot to think that that would work. I can't think that people in charge of the direction of such a big company could be so easily fooled.

So when tools tell you that 70 is not competitive just ignore them. I live in LA and i get 55 if you watch berj, hai or anyone else they get 40 to 55 in the LA area also. The difference between 50 and 70 is less than 1/10 of a sec.

Glad your pinged drop.

Hmm, I haven't noticed anything yet. I didn't really check, though. Is it just Michigan so far?
