Please Boot Up the Portland Server
I wish that you could get away with only having to use one server, but the fact of the matter is that the United States of America has terrible internet compared to the likes of Korea, China, and Europe (willing to have my facts checked on that last one). We have companies like CenturyLink who provide a fraction of what they promise (we're paying for 5 and 5, we get 2 and .74). Before the server change, I had 52 ping. Now? I have 89 on the best of days, with 120-300 on every other day. If it's a matter of money, consider that more people are going to spend money on a game they can actually enjoy. Lag, moreso than champion inbalance, is the WORST reason to lose a game. You don't feel like you could have done anything better. It's akin to going 5 rounds with Jackie Chan while drunk...and without hands...while dead.
