To everyone from SEA - How do you guys play this game with reliable ping?
Other than Garena. Please , I cannot stand the queue timings, and the amount of trolls there.
How do you guys play LoL with anything less than a 100 ping on a reliable server?

Well, it’s physically impossible, unfortunately. Ping is based on the amount of time it takes your connection to go to the server (and/or vice versa). The EUW servers are located in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
The distance from Amsterdam to Singapore (as an example) is 6,500 miles as the crow flies - i.e. not considering the distance that your connection has to take. That means that at a minimum, your connection would take about 40 ms just to be transmitted over wires. Now, each “node” it goes through will add 1-2 ms to it, and it may have to go through quite a few nodes to transfer wires to get it to the right place. The front and back side can be anywhere from 10-20 ms for it to be transmitted from your computer to the first intercontinental node, or from the last intercontinental node to the server itself.
It’s physically impossible for you to get lower ping on the EUW servers. The OCE servers are located in Sydney, Australia, which depending on your location you may have slightly better ping, but I still wouldn’t expect less than 50ms at a bare minimum.
