Over the last 2 or so weeks my connection has been really bad.
Random DCs I think is a local issue.... but lately also been getting really bad ping spikes. Yesterday I got up to 3k a couple times. Did they make a server change or am I being dropped in to a South american server or something?
No. There is one set of servers for each "server" - this account of yours is on the NA server, so it is connecting to Chicago.
There are multiple reasons you may be getting spiked ping:
The best bet is to contact Riot Support and provide the "trace route" they ask for - this will help them help you identify what the problem is.
Damn Was hoping something would get fixed.... hard to play with the lag.
Just almost killed a Trist before she jumped away... I ignited her but it lagged and didn't actually cast. :'( (she said she had 10hp left)
I have found out that the problem is a connection between me and the server.... but it seems you can't even look up the AREA that the IP is from on any site I visit.
I also find 2 things strange: 1: I use to only be about 15 "hops" from the server... now I am over 30 hops.... but I can't even get the tracert to finish. (starts timing out when it gets to LA) 2: One of the hops goes out of my city and then the next connection is BACK to my city.... or a different part of the city?
I can see why our internet is getting worse even though we have faster speeds......... damn ISP monopolies
lol, I just realized.... California internet has the same problem its roads do. XD They don't have any long runs to get traffic around the cluster in the middle.
