People shouldn't be able to play ranked if their ping is too high.

It's basically asking to lose if you have a constant 200+ ms. Might as well be afk. It's unfair for their teammates to have to go through it, and it ruins the ranked experience all together.

Thats only a problem if people are not adjusted to it or if its unstable/spiking. It would be pretty unfair to block people with high ping even if they are able to play well with it.

mine goes anywhere from 60 to 400 whenever it feels like it's a struggle so I try to stay out of PvP unless it's a stable day

most of the time, the player doesn't know that their ping is bad until they get in game.

which is why riot should implement a ping tester that connects you to the nearest server and shows you how well you connect to it.

or maybe just maybe the players should take responsibility upon themselves to check their own fuking ping instead of having someone else do everything for you

isnt the server IP constantly relocating? finding the address of the server would take awhile but riot can simply implement a button linked to the server that will show you how the connection fares

the server is stationary... in one place.

you can get apps on your desktop that will show you ping/speed etc if you truly wanted to know...

you can go to test sites while in queue... cuz we all know you are on here, facebook, *insert xxx site here *.com , youtube and whatever else while you are waiting for a game... so why cant you if you are that concerned (or you know you have connection issues ) do that before you go into a game? also they show your ping as you load into game as well. and just because your ping is ok pregame don t mean it cant change while in game. also ping to riots servers is different for everyone based on their connections, traffic, packet loss, etc and not all on riot or their server

I love when people complain about something that Riot can't do anything about. What do you expect them to do, lock out 90% of their playerbase from ranked? Bet those queue time would be looking even better for ranked then huh?

Queue times aren't even an issue, if you're too impatient to wait 5-6 minutes for a game, you have a serious issue.

Shuyin1781 votes

Say that to Master and Challenger (sometimes plat) players with 20 minute queue timers.

Jingo Jhin1 votes

Master and plat players don't have 200 ms.

Shuyin1781 votes

No, but they have the long wait timers blocking everyone with high ping out would cause. You sure you'd rather wait 20 minutes for your bronze matches when you hit 30? You're level 21, you know nothing about this game and its wait timers.

I like how i'm not allowed to make a smurf.

Shuyin1781 votes

If you're making a smurf then don't complain about the lower level players that probably don't know things about the game. If you're losing to noob players, regardless of your account level, then I think you shouldn't be smurfing until you can get out of Bronze and into Gold as a minimum.

i still think displaying player ping already in a corner of the client would help to prevent a lot of bad games. if people knew theyd end up with a bad ping in game beforehand, they probably wouldnt que up for ranked games at those times.
