Desprate for a server in the Middle east

lol player00·2/5/2020, 11:30:48 PM·4 votes·1,168 views

I have been playing this game for around 7 years now and all that time i have been waiting for a server in the middle east for all the players that have to play in Eu or NA servers and suffer from high latency which pretty much makes the game unplayable and not fun at all.

Riot kinda got our hopes up then let us down in 5 seconds during the 10th anniversary celebration when we thought they were gonna announce a server but then they just announced they are going to be offering the client in Arabic which i am sure most Arabian players don't even use.

Even when i get a notice that I'll be getting lower queue matchmaking and wait before every game,they say you can click on this Lag report page and surprise and it doesn't support my location.

I got a lot of my accounts banned because of connection issues and disconnecting from a game and not being able to reconnect many times and there is nothing i can do about it.

I talked to my ISP and talked to riot and didn't get any far with either of them and this problem has been going on forever and i wasn't able to fix it.

so the question is: Are there any plans to make such a server or any plan to help players in the middle east who are having connection issues or is it just going to be ignored forever?

there's servers in Turkey right? I don't know if there are other countries stable enough in the area that it would be a worthwhile investment

Saraha brother, that's not going to happen anytime soon due to the infrastructure complexity. I too thought we were gonna get a middle eastern server when I heard the client was going to be supported in Arabic but turned out wrong. What's the point of an Arabic client if no Arabian server??

Did you try EUW? Idk why you would have an NA account but for our case, our best options are either euw or eune. I currently live in Lebanon and both servers are good for me.

You know, there would be more NAW players than Middle East

if Riot start giving every damn Region their own server, they would have no god damn players left to help shorted these que time lol

Like yeah is it pretty dumb and annoying but it's what we get, and it can be a disadvantage in the game rather than "I just want to play the game" if you're disconnecting from the game.... my dude, that's your internet lol if you have good internet but just high ping, pretty sure you can play it whole lagging.

Talking to your ISP won't help. Riot only put money where they'll generate more and where it also benefit them and the game itself.

There are situations when the server is not even in the declared country. For example, a Russian server. He is in the European Union.[zombie-brand-mindblown] Because of this, 60% of the country has a terrible ping of at least 100 and 160. Accordingly, if you play from Siberia (100) or the Far East (160) against a team in Moscow (40), then your main opponents are not the enemy team, but the geographical location of the server. In the regions near the capital, ping is not higher than 40-50. Regions of Siberia - no less than 90-100.[sg-janna] Region of the Far East - not lower than 160.[sg-ahri-1] For example, when connecting to a North American server from Russia, the ping is 200-280. Another example. If you live in the European Union and connect to Russian servers, then your ping will be lower than that of players from Russia because the server is located in Europe. If from the Far East it connects to the Japanese server, then the ping is 40-50.[slayer-jinx-wink] If you connect from Siberia to the Japanese Server, then the ping is 50-80. Due to the size of Russia, it is geographically advantageous to locate servers in the city of Krasnoyarsk, which is located in the south of Siberia. Or place it in the city of Kyzyl, which is the geographical center of Asia, and then players from Mongolia and Kazakhstan can play on the Russian server.[slayer-jinx-catface] From the city of Novosibirsk in Siberia to the Japanese server, the same distance as to the Russian server in the European Union, but the difference in ping is very noticeable. Japanese server - 50-80. Russian server - 100-120. [slayer-jinx-unamused]
