Its season 8 and there are no servers in Africa. best ping for players around here is 180-200 and that is if u have good internet. the continent is massive and there are tons of Gamers in south africa, why not make south african servers?

Just by googling league server request u can see what im talking about or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ataYuYI8tBQ&t=108s .

Do you think a South Africa server could service West Africa? Or vice-versa, could a West African server help South Africa? In terms of population, somewhere near Nigeria seems to make the most sense for an African server. Lagos could be a good location if population is a good indicator.

I feel like the people in this thread have never been to Africa if they think the population is small because that is the dumbest thing i have ever heard rofl. I want to remind people here that Australia(24m) has a dedicated server and it has a smaller population then S. Africa(60m). People sometimes i swear...

They won't do it, they never will. They see there's no profit in making your server. If your server would bring tons of money then yeah they will make it.

But for small population and not profitable, they just never will.

Don't know if you've heard about the SACS cable.

That may be about 30-50 ping decrease if you want to play on NA, 80-100 in Brazil. Of course not close to having a server but it helps a bit if you don't mind playing on a different region.
