What I really want is to be able to see what my ping/latency will look like in game before queuing up. Sometimes my internet is just super fidgety and some days it's incredibly laggy. This is because I live on a campus of about 16,000 College students. Since this is an ongoing problem with thousands of players, the best solution would be to have a chance to test what your ping will look like in game from the home screen upon logging in.

it doesn't show it unless you're in a match, but they want it to show you your ping outside of matches

Oh, I thought he meant on the loading screen, that makes more sense.
TheTwerkinator1 votesThis. Also I'd like it if you could customize video options outside of a match. I sometimes use a crappy computer to play and it keeps my setting so I tend to go into a match with everything on high and lag my ass of 'till I can change it.

Kyleman1431 votesgo to the windows tab on your comp go to run and then paste "ping 216.52.241.254 -t" this into it without the quotes and it will pop up showing you what your ping is on the north american serves
Im Free Food1 votesexplain better?
Kyleman1431 votesIf you are on a windows computer then click the windows button on the bottom left hand of the screen... in the search bar on the bottom type run and then hit enter... Then a box will pop up asking for a command... type in ...ping 216.52.241.254 -t... and then hit enter... then it will pop up a tab that will show you a bunch of different numbers one of which will be what your ping is
Tomate Cru1 votesEven better, the ping of all players on the team comp screen. I don't want to play a game if my connections is not good, and I most certainly don't want to play with people that are having Internet issues.
So lets say that one member is having a ping spike or whatever, the team could vote on a resign before the game even start. No LP lose, no harm done, lets move on to the next game.
3TWarrior1 votesI'd rather riot fix the servers so that they don't randomly disconnect you for a quarter second of disconnection and on that same note are immune to drop hacks and don't fail on their own
a server should be able to differentiate between normal ping requests such as a person spamming a button 10x a second or unnatural 200x a second, etc
