I posted this nearly a year ago and riot deleted it because i posted it in the wrong section.... Lol lets try this again.

Okay i'm sure others have thought of this, but i haven't seen any posts for it. So we have all had bad internet once in awhile, right? Well this wont fix it per-say, but it will stop the people who have bad internet before starting the game (or atleast make them think twice). A ping tester build into the client!!!! Simple and not ugly. Now I know you can go to a site and test your internet speeds, but they don't test straight to the league of legends servers.

I personally think this would be a GREAT improvement to the client. It should also help (not fix completely) those afkers from afking. I mean who wants to start a game and afk because of lagging internet? NO ONE.

Tell me your thoughts on it.

(Ping tester is in upper left corner near the League of legends Logo)

this is what the good ping would look like.

this is what the bad would look like

Notice in the upper left hand corner where nothing is going on? The only thing up there sometimes is the notice you get when there is a bug with an item. This would go right behind it. Easy. simple. slick.

Just played a game this morning. First game of the day, 500+ ping all laning phase. After that I was near useless. Rito pls.

3 step process to never enter a game with bad ping again:

  1. Get LSI at http://www.leaguelsi.com/

  2. Make sure your region information is correct.

  3. Before entering a queue, press the ping estimate "Check Again" button.

Honestly, LSI is solving a lot of the long running issues that Riot is actively promoting third party developers to solve (ping estimate, replay recording, aggregated postgame screen stat checks, super accurate death recaps, client customization, the list goes on).
