Ok so recently I switched my smurf from NA to lan and omfg my ping went from 120-130 and now I get 60 that's a big difference and I really want to switch my main but it's all in Spanish and I cant understand anything so I think riot should either make a NA east server or make it to where you CAN have it in English do you think changing my main is a good idea??
TeemoJenkins2 votesI for one was very happy when they created LAN as when I was a beginner we had a lot of language barriers and when you're learning League that's a killer. Learning Spanish is never a bad idea, it's a good utility language in the US. I think Riot making an East Coast Server and splitting the NA services into East and West would be a positive as it'll lower the overhead on West Coast servers. The only drawback is you Divide the community.
Chaotic Reks2 votesor they could just make a central server, so than us certain east coast players can still play with our west coast buddies
Dr Clueless PhD2 votesIt would be better to split it in two like EU. It would mean less load on each server, and better ping for everyone involved. East and West playing together would have to pick one and stick with it (once again, like EU). Does it suck? Yes. But, it's the lesser of two evils.
Dr Clueless PhD2 votesmake it to where you have it in English
Yeah, Riot's going to force people on a Latin American server to speak English. lol
Anyway, just move your main over. Most chat in this game is just toxic shit anyway, so the ping difference is worth it.
C9 Mythic1 votesSorry I meant to say "make it to where you have the option for English"
Dr Clueless PhD2 votesYou mean in the client? Oh, you can do that. I don't remember how, but you should be able to find it with a quick Google search.
disregardable1 votesFirst, open the client and change it to LAN. Close it. Right click on the icon. Click open file location. Click on the folder that says "RADs". Then the folder that says "system". Open "locale.cfg" and change it to "en_US". The next time you switch to NA and back, you'll need to do this again.
C9 Mythic1 votesOh ok thanks :)
Gear Kitty2 votesWhere do you live/what's your internet?
Cause I'm smack dab in the middle of VA with Verizon and I get 15-25 to LAN, 105-120 to NA.
Only played a couple matches on it. The difference is way, way too drastic to play on NA if I got used to LAN's ping.
To put it in perspective, when I started playing LoL in S2, I had 55-60 ping. I don't want an East Coast Server, I just wished Riot would actually move their HOME REGION'S SERVERS AWAY FROM A HORRIBLE SECTION OF INTERNET INFRASTRUCTURE TO SOMEWHERE MORE CENTRAL AND OPTIMIZED.
C9 Mythic1 votesYeah it's bad I live in AL and as of now I've been using a Mobile hotspot cause of that rare unlimited internet plan a while back and Ive only played one game in lan server while on tilt and a losing streak but went like 15-9 and won so idk if umma go back
Shentai1 votesAnyone know what pings are for LAN for someone in Boston..? I speak Spanish so meh why not try it.
C9 Mythic1 votesMm idk the NA server I think is in Cali and the lan is in florida
EffectFX1 votesLAN is in Miami. So that's probably why.
