Probably not. If you do that, you'll basically have to add up the ping between you and the cloud gaming service and the ping between the service and Riot's server. In game it might be displayed as lower as it would probably just show the ping between the cloud and RIot, but as a whole the response time is probably going to be higher.

Move closer to the game servers. Decrease Hops. Increase Network Bandwidth Praise the sun god

I'm not sure. I think I've heard that some VPNs do help a little bit, but I'm not sure about that. Why do you want to play on NA instead of EUW anyway? Do you have friends in NA you want to play with or something?

Well, the best advice I can really offer then is to play basic champs on NA that won't be too negatively affected by high ping. Champs like Singed, Garnen, Nasus, Yuumi, etc should be relatively playable with 170 ping, though it will still definitely hurt. Also, I'm sure TFT would be fine with 170 ping so you could play that with them too. Good luck!
