Champs that use the server to do calculations are harder to beat with internet issues

I've been playing with a weak, spotty, and sometimes nonexistent internet connection lately. I've noticed some issues when it comes to champions who can abuse their "auto-calculate" abilities, or those that are click and forget. The abilities allow some people to press just one button to start a wave of added damage or cc moves that are not castable, or actually not need be castable. One-click abilities are those that can be execuated by the server or wherever even under cc affects or even death. This leads to people like myself being frustrated when we are unable to adequately counter these champions because we are at the mercy of the server, not the player. I don't want to point out these often called "low-skill" champions that the players abuse this mechanic to get in damage while they are being controlled as being broken or in need of a fix. I just want to call attention to low-connectivity players being easily preyed on by "auto-casters". If there are more in the new champion or rework pipelines, please Riot, make sure you are ready for them to be abused against us without a perfect connection. I'll discuss an example below, though there are many others.

Illaoi can cast q which can proc her passive and ultimate both which have some issues with proper range indications but that is beside the point. Even into death her q will still finish casting (beyond a initial cast completion point) and will proc and remaining tentacles in her ultimate or along walls. The server does these calculations, maybe more than 8 per 1 q cast even while dead.

Well without the Server doing nearly all calculations the game would be easily hackable.

You shouldn't play the game with >80ms

Where does Riot say that 80ms is a cutoff. They make they game to play on whatever you want. That includes many different setups. They even moved the server to increase the latency of west coast people to sometimes over 100ms.

Imo the game is simply unplayable with high ping.

Everything is server side. So you are wrong.

Plus you shouldn't play LoL with a shitty connection.
