Can a Rioter please reply to why we don't have east coast servers or when we will have ?
Well i just wanted to talk about why we don't have an east coast server. People in the west get really low ping like 10-80, thats really low for most people that don't live in the west. But then i get like 100+ every game, the lowest my ping has ever been was 95. The worst part is that everyday, for multiple games, i get disgusting ping that ranges from 250-2000... how is someone supposed to play like that. if you haven't experienced that, its horrible, you can't move, you don't know whats going on and then after like 10 seconds, everything all happens at once and then it repeats. How are we east coasters supposed to compete in ranked games and climb the ladder if the lag is unplayable. How am I and others supposed to compete with westerners that have 60 ping. If my ping is good it usually ranges from 100-120. I was watching a stream, and the streamer asked a friend if he wanted to duo Q, and he said no cause he was getting 100 ping every game (this was during the problem the server was having like 2 days ago in the southwest) When i heard that i was like thats what i get every game. When i ask others what their ping is and they say anything lower that 80 or something i go crazy cause I've never experienced that. I feel like Riot is basically forcing the people in the east to learn Spanish and join the LAN server. And it can't be my internet cause my internet is good. So like i would like to know if you guys are planning on fixing this and making east coast players have better ping or you guys are just gonna completely ignore us and not care for your eastern players.
I also found this on the boards....

So basically what this Rioter was saying was that they were or are trying to make the connection better, but seriously 2 years and nothing has changed ping wise, that really makes me sad, and disappointed.
Thank you. HtFviper
