Has it been going on for too long Riot?

Lag.

How many times a game would you say you see someone yelling ''FUCK THIS LAG''? I know that I, as an east coast LoL player, hear it regularly, not only from myself, but my teammates as well.

Anything from sporadic jumps to 1000+ Ping, to ''Attempting to reconnect'', if you are or have ever played in the east coast there is a slight chance (Well not too slight actually), that you have suffered from some of these.

And before we get into the ''Well your internet is shit LOL'' argument, I have constant 70ish ping in most of my games, with the random occasions where this happens.

But whether it be 5 second lag or 5 minutes, I have lost games, had teammates leave and even myself because the lag was absolutely unbearable.

So, to all these LoL players in the East Coast, will there be something done? Not asking for a server or anything, but any solutions?

BTW: I know that not all of you from the east coast suffer from this, but those of you that do, this very well applies to you.

I live on the east coast. In fact, I can see the Atlantic Ocean while sitting here typing this. My ping to the NA server has incrementally been getting better for the NA servers for over 6 months now (was 102ms back in November 2014). In the past 2 weeks, it has dropped again to a very constant 84ms. I hardly ever lag in game, and when I do see a stutter its another player's champ that moves weird. The lag you experience is very rarely Riot's fault. Most of the time its either your computer or your home network that is having an issue; sometimes its you ISP, but not as much as you think.

I live in Montreal and I never see said lag you are speaking of. However I do see a lot of "LAG" calls right after you see some one make a bad derision go in when they shouldn't and get deleted. Not saying this is the case for you but many use the lag excuse as a cover for bad decision making and probably makes it look worst than it actually is!
