No West Coaster wants 80 ping, and Im positive East coasters would be way more happy with 40 ping then 80 as well, this is ridiculous, fuck the "community" make two servers please. At least East Coast has LAN us West Coasters have no other server to proxy too. There is shit in this game you can't do at 80 ping, why are you fucking over every body instead of making two servers, how are you the biggest game in the world and don't have enough people in NA for two servers. I don't get this shit why are you downgrading the West Coast experience instead of, at the very least, giving us an option? Longer queues or Lighter ping. Like I'm really about to cry because I won't be able to play League anymore :'(

Yeah I think 2 servers would be ideal however until that happens, as an East coast player who successfully made it to Silver on 150-300 ping average game, im pretty excited for a more geographically centered server and a reduction in ping.

Did you speak up for the East coast before, or did you just start caring because it's going to affect West coast now?

80 ping isn't that bad. If we got used to that or higher, you can too.

It's incredibly selfish of you to want to split the community and fuck everything up because you yourself want lower ping. Do you understand the implications splitting the community has?

Talent and top level play will funnel into one server. If all LCS pros are on NAW, then all challenger team pros, amateur team pros, and aspiring challenger players will funnel into NAW as well. This has a trickle down effect, and may even affect Diamond 1-2 players. Think EUW and EUNE.
NA doesn't have enough players to split into two. NAE might be okay because we have way more players on the East, but NAW will definitely be really small.

i just think two servers would ruin a lot of things like say you had friends that played on the east coast and you live on the west coast if you want to play with them your pretty much screwed unless one of you wants higher ping. but thats just looking at it on a simple lvl

Tbh if Riot just had three servers one in the west ,mid ,and east coast and stream lined the data between all three on one large network you might not see a huge drop in ping but people would have better quality of service all around the U.S and less dropped packets due to servers able to stream line data from coast to coast most likely in a decrease in packet loss for a big amount of players. BUT as per usual it's up to riot if it is cost worthy to them or not, in all honesty if they want this game to be all on one server and work efficiently and keep this game alive it would be in their best interest in the long run to implement a system like this :/ .

Also, you can't tell me ping isn't important when the average Silver player has less then 80 ping, and the average Challenger has under 40 ping, it clearly plays a factor.

Edit: Added this to front post
