Your allies should be able to see if you are lagging

My unpleasant experience

I just played a game where I was getting 500-3k ping constantly. This is the first time it happened, and it was a very frustrating experience. I was telling my allies about the situation, they accused me of lying. An ally even typed in [all] "please report (me) for trolling. sitting in base and typing".

What the FUCK? It made a bad experience, much much worse.

**The solution ** If my allies can see that I am lagging, the situation would have been a lot better. In the game age of mythology, it showed icons beside their highscore when someone is lagging. When lag strikes, it made the situation more understandable.

What to do if it happens to you If this happens again I'm just to white lie rather than reason. "Fuck I forgot I have an appointment in 10 minutes. So sorry guys". Alt-F4. Trying to reason in this situation, makes everyone much more frustrated. There is nothing I can do to prove my innocence. Maybe at most wait for 2 minutes to see if internet improves. If not, there is really not much that can be done.

Wow, what a fucking terrible experience that was. Online games are at the mercy of good internet.

that's a terrible excuse If you have something to do in ten minutes, then why would you start up a game of league?

Better solution, riot should fix their servers

They used to have little ping meters for all allies when loading into the match. It was removed to avoid discrimination based on ping... :/

Waste of resources tbh. According to Riot, it doesn't matter what the reason is for your AFK/not playing, it's all equally punishable/bad. Fishing to not get reported is a waste of time that draws attention to the issue.
