As a Japanese player with the Chicago server

Hello, first time posting here and probably one of my last. I normally don't like to complain too much about the game, since ragers, toxic people, game imbalance and all that stuff exist in all games. Lag does too, but this move just hurts too much to not vent out my frustration.

Normally, my ping would hover from around 130-160, ever since I've moved to Japan from the states (New York, 80ish ping). I've basically given up on ad carry, mid and top lane, because it requires me to last hit and constantly play against players who have better ping than I do (unless they're from Japan, Korea, Oce, etc). I am okay with that, since I like playing jungle and support and not being able to last hit or going for trades doesn't affect me THAT much in those two positions.

NOW with the server move, my ping is somewhere from 180 to 230 ping. Have you ever experienced lag, not with your movements and commands, but with your in-game notice pings(on my way, careful, mia...)? That's how bad it is.

I've invested too much time and money to just say "oh well, I guess I'll just quit." League is a huge part of interacting and having fun with friends back in the States (SNS like facebook and twitter don't count as "having fun").

I know this message won't bring about any change and you're thinking "just another one of those rants." I just wanted to share how this move has surprisingly hurt me.
