ADD SOMETHING FOR US TO SEE THE PING BEFORE WE COMMIT TO A GAME

Hi, i think you should add some kind of in-game app for us to check our ping (ms) before we enter and commit to a game, specially a ranked game. I still check it by creating a normal game but with that app it would be much easier for everyone, put our ping maybe next to the IP/RP values. :)

I approve of this idea!

I think it is believed this will cause a higher demand on the server, which can lead to an overall high ping or some other connection problems. It's too much for the server when every client is pinging into the server. I don't know anything about it myself, though.

If they're pinging the server with 32 Bytes of data I doubt that's going to make a significant impact on the server's throughput.

You need to do more than just ping the server, you have to establish a TCP connection as though you were connecting in a game.

@echo off echo %date% %time% >> "C:\Users\User\Desktop\pinglogs.txt" ping 104.160.131.1 >> "C:\Users\User\Desktop\pinglogs.txt"

I run this as a Batch file it pings the server and saves it in a text file

How come certain direct competitor whose name ends with 2, allows you to ping all of their servers, at the same time, and to refresh this ping once a minute? Surely the highest grossing videogame in history can allow themselves such a feature, right? Or maybe, you know, they actually don't care to enable one, wow! What a strange concept, who would've thought! Stop making up excuses for a faceless and company, they're not your buddy

even if that is the case ( idk shit about servers) i think they could make the server "stronger" like invest more money into it instead of champions every week haha
