And that you can freely play on either of them or any other server you want.
This is also the reason why I am not that worried about having 100 ping. I know I can play just fine with it but it takes a little getting use too.
That is all.

In 3-5 weeks, Riot's moving the servers to Chicago, so everyone in the US should have about a 60-70 ping at max.

should ans will are 2 different things. I think LA might end up with about 80.

The Fast3 votesDaily reminder that League of legends is based on technology much older than DotA 2 and cannot do the things it does as easily because it's engine needs to be updated alongside any features they want to add.
Shonjl1 votesAlso a reminder that Lol is also much more profitable than DotA so there is no excuse they couldn't just upgrade their tech or make new servers.
When a competitor is smaller (And just face it, Lol is bigger than DotA, not saying DotA is worse but league is far bigger than it) and is doing things like this and you aren't? I tlooks bad for you, since it makes oyu look stingy.
The Fast3 votesExcept you can't feed money into a machine and get perfect code out the other end. "Hire a bunch of people" doesn't solve anything, considering it'd just make it harder to communicate across a single project. If there was a 1 to 1 translation between money and speed, this would be logical. But there isn't. Riot wanted to move the servers to a more centralized location. It took them months because of ludicrous amount of out-of-company communication, updating hilariously outdated tech, and actual implementation time, rather than money. They clearly had the money, and they clearly wanted the change to happen, but it still took time.
DotA2 may be smaller, but it has an EXPONENTIALLY bigger company, and vastly superior tech behind it.
Riot basically has to release League of Legends 2 over the course of several years because of how bad their start was. The game was built for 20,000 players.
Shonjl1 votesMaybe I just don't know the exact details but I coulda sworn Lol is vastly more profitable than Dota, and their respective companies. And its not like they need to rerelease the game, this was just about making another server which isn't hard. They just have to buy the same hardware they have for the other servers. At most finding a location to house the server would be the hard part, but not unreasonable for someone as big as Riot.
The Fast2 votesValve is infinitely more profitable than Riot. It's not even a comparison.
And here's the thing, they kinda do have to rerelease the game. LoL, when it launched, was ALREADY based off of outdated tech. Every patch they have been adding more and more to the background stuff that we don't see. They are having to rebuild the systems of their engine, while still in the middle of using it. Its not just a hardware or space issue. Its an issue with LoL as a program itself, where in it is SO behind the curve, that it can't get the features it should already have out within the timeframes it should have.
Shonjl1 votesAhh, didn't really think that far. I was just figuring it from the standpoint of Lol vs Dota, didn't even come to mind that Dota/value has multiple revenues so it isn't even an issue for them.
I am kinda curious now if Riot is planning on rereleasing the game then?
The Fast1 votesThey have been. Like I said, over the course of the last couple of years they've been updating all of their systems gradually with every patch. We had that whole "audio system overhaul" a little while ago.
Sakura Mirage1 votesYa it's pretty hard to play riven now with the east coast servers as it's a gamble will I get 15 ping on west coast or have to face 50 on east coast. Fast q's feel so weird on the east.
Fadedpf1 votesBecause while Valve cant count to three at least they have 2 servers for dat good ping
ModAcademy Kayn1 votesOne company is much more established, with more then just one game out, with multiple more sources of income. Another is a company with a single game and a large technical debt.
Don't compare the two.
(Im afraid I actually don't understand the full idea of your post. What are you trying to state?)
ElegantDoge1 votesRiot has no excuse to not give servers to east and west to you guys but don't forget DOTA is from Valve...
