2 Years and counting Riot.
Food for thought. Amoralism East coaster have a significantly poorer experience playing the game than west coasters, Must be nice having low ping We are not asking for much. Can we please get some information on the status of the servers. Our ping, collectively, is getting worse every patch. Many of us have a ping around 120. A lot of people in the west coast have a sub 40 ping. That's is a big difference and provides a reasonable advantage. Please Riot. #fairplayingfield - Use this in your posts to spread the word Upvote if you want answers.
The Octobus I live in the East Coast and my ping is normally 90-110. I thought it was only me... So east coast ping does exist...

Halohappy I think the reason the servers are sh!t here in the east is because the LCS is focused in the west. They give them the better ping so they have better practice environments and can bring that to the LCS stage in Cali and then the world stage when that rolls around. I've got an average of 95 ping and anything above becomes unplayable
splitsticks Riot is in fact a greedy company. Employees here and there may genuinely care, but at the core the company is owned by greed. There's no reason to run a game as successful as LoL for this many years and not have servers on both coasts, aside from greed. Any rioter who thinks otherwise is deluding him/herself. #fairplayingfield
Yuwao I live in FL and playing this game from beta. What can I say, back in the days my ping was about 50 I guess but now it's 120-150 so yeah kinda not cool.
Sefam It's very frustrating to see your ping go from 90 to 140 over the course of 4 years. Yea, it was 110 a few weeks ago, now it`s 140. Awesome.
Learnding I'm not going to sit here and complain that 60 ping is any better than 100, but ping spikes on a upward scale of 300 or 400 is simply unacceptable, the example you're setting is, "We don't give the slightest **** about anyone but ourselves, but when someone lashes out at us, we send in the PR specialists to literally reiterate what was already brought up".
Its simply outrageous that I get 0 ping spikes, -100 the ping in LAN, and a better experience on a server that is, A) Not native to my actual server B) A server that doesn't support English C) A server used to siphon money out of your pockets, because simply, why not? EA already won the worst company in the world award, we won't get it this year.
****ing, #fairplayingfield
Jib Jig When I first started playing in Massachusetts around 2012 my ping was consistently less than 70. Now that I moved back here, it's always floating at ~150. Riot please; you're not improving anything.
Xonra When I started playing in 2011 my ping was 80. I have actually upgraded both my computer and my internet substantially (to both) since then. My ping now sits at an average of 110 and on a good day it is 105. 3 months ago I was saying 105 was the average and 100 was the low, 6 months ago, 100 was the average and 90-95 was my low.
So my ping has gotten worse slowly over time but worse a lot more this year. Still no Servers even though this has been an issue for YEARS not months. Riot has acknowledged the issue, admitted it being a problem, have even went as far as to admit they themselves see a correlation between higher ping and lower ranked. This has been years of them saying "we are working on it, be patient with us" and then they go quiet and nothing gets done
FFS All is OP And every patch it gets worse.
At this point I'm resigned to it which is why I stopped buying RP. All I've seen out of riot is apologies after apologies with still nothing done. It's been YEARS.
