My friends and I have tried to join multiple games (ranked, custom, normal) after patch 8.1 and we constantly have ping of 135+ms. We typically have a ping of around 30ms. I've tested my ISP (Verizon) multiple times and pinged the NA servers. My highest ping should be 29ms and the average is 28ms. Please let me know if you're working on a solution.
Kairoptra1 votesI would submit a support ticket for this kind of issue, if you haven't tried that already.
ScaryWaffleMan1 votesits prob on ur end riot servers are really good actually
Hydra Headhunter1 votesI'm sorry, 135 is playable (if consistent). Also, it's likely not riot's fault. There was a vulnerability in all the PCs that just got patched, but it was one that increased performance speed on PC based servers. So with the patch to Windows, all the servers everywhere got a lot slower because the patch had to role out early before it was optimized because someone leaked the vulnerability.
And that is why the servers are probs slow. Because people with the right bot, know-how, or both could access some or all the information PC servers keep super-encrypted without proper auth. Would you rather have 100 extra ping or debt for the beach house in mali a hack bought using your credit card?
They're probably working on something to fix it, but my understanding is it's not really riot's ball.
ZephyrDrake1 votesthere is a help and support part of the boards you know? this type of question would be better off there and will have a better chance of being seen there by someone who can actually help you... or someone at all for that matter since here the thread can just get buried by all the other gameplay threads that pop up
ModJikker1 votesHey Toothpicx,
As others have already said, this isn't really a Gameplay discussion as Gameplay is for discussing things like champion kits, game balance, items, etc... It sounds like you're having a problem caused by the recent patch. I recommend either recreating this thread in Help & Support where Riot can help you on the Boards or submitting a support ticket where they can help you directly. I'm going to lock this thread up now.
If anyone has questions about this lock, feel free to come discuss it with us on the Discord.
Best of luck getting your ping resolved!
