In reality? No. There are fairly simple ways to circumvent problems like long queue time and splitting the community. Arguably a lot more simple than the national network with centralized servers approach Riot decided to take.

I don't think this approach is bad though it looks like the West Coast ping could be quite a bit higher than expected. It seems to be an ISP infrastructure problem with At&t being a major factor.

Yes. Economic and logistical issues aside, assuming that the playerbase is more or less split between the east and west coasts, splitting the playerbase would roughly double queue times, since the available player pool is much smaller. It would also make matchmaking more difficult, since the amount of people at a particular level is smaller, so the skill level in games would become much more uneven.
