You can't ignore EAST COAST forever Riot

This game left beta in 2009.Since then Riot has insured that they would further establish a more stable and reliable infrastructure for its players.And since then certain dilemmas and obvious balancing issues have become more apparent as time progresses.The issue I'm here to discuss,which should be obvious from the title,is that of the blatant disregard from Riot,to a large group of players primarily located in or around the east coast of NA.

Here is a post that I recommend you take a good look at:http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=2277789&page=1075

Now when a company that has generated a revenue of over $600 million USD in 2013 and in excess of $ONE BILLION USD as of 2014,gives an assurance to their players that certain issues will be resolved,I feel that they should be held accountable for their words from the same people that made them as big as they are in the first place,US. Now back to that link I provided;I would like you to take a look at the sheer volume of comments it has accumulated.Now reflect on the fact that that thread was created in mid 2012,not to mention the ones related to that before it. Based off of that simple observation I can come to the conclusion that if this BILLION DOLLAR company was legitimately taking this problem seriously,they would and could have easily had the issue resolved within the lifespan of that thread itself.

When I first started this game I was already aware of the stigma associated with playing LoL in the east coast and this was some two or three years ago. As time went on and I got better the issue became more and more obvious as it grew in severity.What was once a stable ping of 100 became 110,then 120,gradually increasing every other patch.Now as I sit at a ping exceeding 130-140 I have given up all hope in any redemption this game could offer to make me ever want to play again.

Facts are facts and numbers are numbers and it couldn't be any more obvious that Riot is spitting in the face of loyal,paying players,constantly giving false hope to said people in the disguise of promises and posts claiming to be working on the issue and threads where they claim to be expanding servers and balancing ping across the NA.

Well its almost 2015 now and the FACTS are that this is STILL A HUGE PROBLEM.The FACTS show that this company is too stingy and unprofessional to fix such a simple problem in less then SIX YEARS.the FACTS also show that the NA has ONE SERVER throughout its countries,WHILE CHINA HAS A WHOPPING TOTAL OF TWENTY SEVEN SERVERS. And as I come to my conclusion I have one more FACT;and that is Riot is owned by a CHINESE investment company by the name of Tencent which apparently isn't interested in the major issues affecting other regions.And until this problem is resolved I will stick with the impression that it never will be.

You know what another fact is? I've had a stable ping at 80-81 (with almost no lag spikes) in Western PA, NY, and Virginia. I don't know why you have a worse ping than me, but where the servers are located is not the problem. Also, there already are east coast servers. It's called LAN, it's located in Miami. I get a 35 ping when using it. You need to chill with the Riot hate.
