As we all know, poor people can't afford nice things, like a decent internet connection. Should Riot just ban poor people from playing the game? Besides, poor people shouldn't be spending their time playing video games. They should be out working so they can stop being poor. Thoughts?

It's actually not based entirely on income, it's the stability of the connection, as someone who's experienced both a high speed connection and a high latency connection, it's not just about speed, and if you did any research, you wouldn't need to make such a rude post. Here's some information for you: Ping is based on a combination of Speed, distance from the server, distance from router/length of ethernet cable, DNS settings, Computer settings, as well as the amount of people on the server. So before you assume it's just poor people, do your research.

Downvoted.

Jesus,no what is your problem? People can work 2 minimum wage jobs, come home and play a little league to unwind on an old laptop they got a while back, and still be classified as poor. Someone may have gotten injured and are recovering from their injury.

Oh, undoubtedly good sir! It always amuses me to see the proletariat attempt to interact with the proper gentlemen of society. How fun it must be to string them along! I showed this post to my butler and my in house five-star chef; we had quite the guffaw over it.

What is your definition of "poor"? Anyone that can provide and support themselves isn't "poor" in my book. Just because someone doesn't make as much money as you doesn't make them "poor". Anyone's internet at anytime can cause connection issues, a storm, maybe a transformer went out and caused a power outage.

If anyone DCs at anytime, I do believe there should be an option to remake after a few minutes if they don't return.

What if you live in a country where they have free high speed fiber internet? Not everywhere is America with the most expensive and slowest internet.

Assume i can save something from your thread, Bf servers kicks high ping players.

So, in a utopic universe in which riot think that players conditions and wellness>>>>>money, yes they could have added some kind of provider check

Not a chance in hell, because I'm fairly certain they can end up in quite a bit of trouble for discrimination of some sort.
