NA Server(s)

Why aren't there multiple NA servers? Why don't we have a US West and a US East? Is there some official Riot statement out there providing a legitimate reason for the centralisation of the NA server? It doesn't make any sense.

Before, West Coast players would have good ping and East Coast players would have shit ping. Instead of creating an East/Central server so that both parties could have good ping, Riot decides to move their only NA server to gatdam Chicago. Now everybody has mediocre, slightly shit ping except for players in flyover states.

Riot's reasoning was that they didnt want to Split the community (despite the fact that they could still have 2 different servers and still have it connected to their main one. I think its the way Dota handles their server, but i never played it) I can somewhat understand that reasoning, but the fact of the matter is people are being disconnected from their game, or have such a high lag/ping when playing that its just irritating. if it even means splitting the community then so be it if it means we can all play fine. Especially with the recent moving of the servers im from Hawaii so we got hit hard went from an Average 100 ping, to 120. And while its not too bad, i know some people here who got it really bad that they cant play anymore. But to be fair there are more people on the East Coast than Hawaii (and i think Alaska got hit pretty hard as well) so its understandable to try and fix potential buyers and have them be able to play the game than us.

Hopefully one day they finally get their act together, but i find that highly unlikely. i mean they need that money for E-sport. how else will they get to rent out a huge Stadium, and fly out all the people they need to attend these Tournaments?
