NA East Coast Server

I don't understand why Riot cannot just give the East Coasters of NA a server. What downside would there be. Sure it sorta cuts into your profits but seriously if there was a East Coast server more East Coast People would, more than likely, play the game and buying RP from you to buy champs and so fourth. You keep on saying, "We are working on it." or "This is something under our radar." There hasn't even been a Riot update since the new forums came out! Why do you leave The EAST COAST in the dark. You could make so much more profits if you put a East Coast Server out. EU has two servers and and they are smaller than just the US. When there are also players in Canada. So Riot, I would love to get an actual response on this topic or a possible ETA of a East Coast Server or NA relocation date.

Also I feel this link shows just how bad it is at times for us east coast players. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cmfy4nrEWmA

I'm in Southern CA, and my ping is average 150-250 now. Not all west coast players have amazing ping either.

I'm not on the west coast but close, and i am currently sitting around 100+ so Idk how some on the west coast are doing better.

The hard part about this is... Hawaii. If they move the west coast servers central, people playing in Hawaii will have even worse ping than they already do(right now Hawaii ping is just as bad as east coast ping). If they make an east coast server, Hawaii will be unaffected. If they move the servers central, Hawaii could be in the 180-200 ping(or more, idk) range instead of 90-130ish that they are getting right now. That would be extremely rude to all the players in Hawaii.

If they don't want to separate the servers and don't want to create an East coast server then the only real Vi able option would be a central server.

LAN 15ms ping, NA 94ms ping. What country am I living in? (Hypothetical)

Playing on Latin America North is much better ping but I don't understand anyone and cant read anything.

It's not about ping, its about PACKET LOSS. A lot of East Coast players can play EUW w/ 120-130ms ping w/ out packet loss. MS= miliseconds, ei.. 1000th of a second. 130ms is about as fast as you can blink. SO quit whining about ping, and look at the real issue Packet Loss aka lag/freeze frames. Go play EUW, seriously I can play all day w/ no LAG aka Packet Loss. NA on the other hand I can't go 2 games w/ out some type of Lagg. BTW I live in OH.

tbh it's not just the east coast, I live in Arkansas and every one of my friends and I run an average of a 108 ping. It's ridiculous.

Riot lives in CA so they do not care about this issue. If they do care.. why does it take a nine figure company so long to address? its because there is WASTE.

dont even think im mad at the high ping, or wasnt at first.... I moved to Georgia (i know first mistake) and when i first got here i had a 69-78 ping. 3 yrs down the road and went from a 20mbs connection to a 120mbs (same provider) i am constantly higher than 115 ping now.... i understand that west coast is where there hub is or main stage is w/e u want to call it. but the fact that is getting worse is stupid. Not sure if its due to more players playing overe here or wat... but i would really like to see some change for the east coast. maybe expand bigger and go NA west and NA east as far as leagues are in the LCS. IDK please fix though.. i am tired of playing at a huge disadvantage to west coast players playing at 10-30 ping =(
