I think i can sacrifice 10-20 ping if it means 50% of usa will be playable with instead of complaining about lag. The new location should mean less lag spikes for people (especially in ranked) so i dont see the big deal on the west getting such a small spike. Ranked might be less laggy for most now. look forward to it.
Hell Week9 votesim pretty sure riot has the resources and money to have 2 servers. which would be better in my opinion, fair all around.

Honestly this^. It would be perfectly reasonable and not leave any room for anyone to complain. And also would be very convenient just in case a server malfunctions for whatever reason, the other will always be available for back up until the other is back and running.

yup.. 2 servers is always better than one. people would be in the server where they belong therefore, less people will be crowding the servers. ( pretty sure that also helps. )
7ha7guy7772 votesThey actually stated that the Oregon server will be a backup in the thread about the roadmap. I can't remember if it will be a permanent backup though.
Zenthon Prime8 votesI was getting anywhere from +40 to +70 ping during the test. Most of California is near or above 100, Hawaii is unplayable, Alaska is barely any better. Make no mistake, the East Coast and Midwest just decided to screw the rest of the US over because they didn't want queue times to be slightly longer.
I'm pretty pissed that Riot didn't see the obvious solution of using the same system Dota or LoL China uses, which is multiple, easily switchable servers. Riot easily has the capability to do this. Odds are I'm still going to be pissed on this one for years to come.

i went from 40 to 53, with random lag spikes.
Auryiel12 voteslol...
Yeah, the East Coast and Midwest decided to screw you over
TOTALLY THE PLAYERS' FAULT, BUDDY
Zenthon Prime3 votesMostly Riot's fault, but many East Coast players requesting a server move instead of two servers didn't help.
Auryiel3 votesYou do realize that this server change is good for the majority of players, right?
Yes, pretty much every single person with a brain agrees that 2 servers would be better. However, that's clearly not an option for Riot (for mightily stupid reasons, but still). So the move is actually a good thing. Asking for the change not to be made basically means the West Coast decides to screw the rest of NA over.

Yes. But....
However, that's clearly not an option for Riot (for mightily stupid reasons, but still).
And here's the issue: it IS an option for Riot, just one they're not choosing right now. Riot's actual limits are few, considering their levels of funding and staffing.
I am ok with this as a temporary solution, but nothing more. What Riot should be doing right now is creating an easy way to switch between the theoretical USE and USW servers at will.

how is having 2 servers " stupid ". can't you find others words such as, " a bad idea "??
i would like to know why it's stupid to have 2 servers.
Auryiel2 votesDat reading comprehension tho
Hell Week1 votesDat reading comprehension tho
my reading compehension is comepletely fine. you made your parenthetical phrase tricky to understand, only you really know what you meant. you coudl've meant 2 things.
Ratbert1 votesIt's pretty clear the subject of "stupid" is "reasons".
Auryiel1 votesNo, there's not really another meaning.
I'm talking about the fact that, for Riot, having two servers is not an option and I add that it's for stupid reasons.

yes now i get what you meant, sorry i always check all my forums when i wake up. i thought you meant having 2 servers is stupid for this and that ( aka stupid reasons ), not that riot doesnt want 2 servers because of their OWN stupid reasons. confusing lol.
Jacobofcourse2 votesThat is impressive how one person can speak for most of the state of California. The East Coast and Midwest weren't the only ones, those Canadians were involved :)
9baksQuJhb1 votesI was getting anywhere from +40 to +70 ping during the test. Most of California is near or above 100.
Boo fucking hoo. You hit over 100 while you were still in the middle of the country for years. I'm in arkansas and I never play below 100. I promise you can handle it...
Make no mistake, the East Coast and Midwest just decided to screw the rest of the US over because they didn't want queue times to be slightly longer.
In what magic world of strawmen and narcissism does over half the country's desire not to suffer from huge standard ping and regular, gamebreaking spikes in the thousands have to do with queue time?
I'm pretty pissed that Riot didn't see the obvious solution of using the same system Dota or LoL China uses, which is multiple, easily switchable servers. Riot easily has the capability to do this.
Now this is an acceptable point.
Odds are I'm still going to be pissed on this one for years to come.
No you won't. If I had a dollar for every time someone promised they were gonna rage quit league...
sakuda1 votesI agree as a EUW player, if it involves people getting HALF of the ping while others getting more 5-15ish ping I don't see the problem
ARequestOfDeath1 votesCanada and Alaska on the other hand.....
Orokiyam4 votesCanada and Alaska on the other hand.....
I live in Québec and I will get 30 ping compared to the 80 I have right now.
ARequestOfDeath1 votesbc and yukon on the other hand
Lord Galvatron1 votesI live in New England, but I'm still getting 120 ping, are all the games on the east coast being handled by the moved server?
DrCyanide1 votesServer move isn't live yet, the ping numbers people are pulling are by using the command line and running tests against the new servers IP address.
Sassmast3r1 votesI'm not currently home right now; however I live on the west coast, literally as far west as you can get other than like, Alaska and Hawaii haha. I used to get around 30-40 ping, which honestly was really easy to deal with, and it only spiked when my family used the internet. I'm concerned now that, even if I wait until around 10:30-11:00 P.M., which is when everyone in my family is asleep and I get the internet to myself, that my ping will still be in the upper 90's-100's, which I have indeed dealt with before and it is NOT fun. Look, east coast, I'm truly sorry you've had to deal with what you have had to deal with. I really am. But I feel like what they have just done is caused the people living in places such as: Washington, California, Oregon, etc, to literally experience the same problems you are dealing with now, and believe me when I say that I've already dealt with these before back when I was stupid enough to try Skyping with my friends as well as play the game at the same time. Now, there's not even a possibility of Skyping with them while I play EVER again because that will just further increase my ping, and I'll end up averaging about 150-200 ping every single game I play regardless. I don't feel like this was a perfect solution, but I can deal with it for a little while. However, assuming I'm right and my ping has become truly outrageous, then I can't say I'll be playing this game a whole lot longer (I love to spectate, I just mean I won't ACTUALLY PLAY) due to how frustrating that can be.
