Long time player: East Coast Ping
Hello, I am a 4 year player of LoL, and I have enjoyed the game quite a bit over the duration. Unfortunately, the gameplay has gotten tediously aggrivating, specifically over the last two years for no other reason than ping.
In S3, I still maintained around 70-75 ping and was Plat 2, in S4, I averaged above 95 at all times and went 2/8 in placements, dropped (on tilt) to S5, then barely made it back up to G5. Today, I regularly see 105-110.
It is indisputable that the ping has a huge effect on gameplay, and the fact that East coast players are automatically forced to be multiple divisions better than their competition is just rediculous. Now, I'm not arguing that this is the sole reason for my division drop, nor am I complaining about my drop, I am merely bringing attention to the severity of this problem and providing a primary account of its effects.
I am looking into the possibility of LAN servers, currently, and would appreciate any advice, help, dates, or anything that might have to do with lowering my ping. Also, if you have a story similar to mine please feel free to post it below!
