Riot thank you for giving me the best game ever

Everyone in our game had at least 200 ping.

At first we were all mad at riot, but then we started enjoying it,

it became a turn based moba where everyone had 2-3 sec to carefully think their next move without being able to change it afterward. and each time the game refreshed we were in another position, skill shots and dashes were still possible but the way you had to predict was entirely different.

No more: blitz is grabbing this way, better flash this way (fast paced game highly based on reflexes). It was more like : blitz may land his grab here but i should also think about the other skillshots that may hit me (time to think about your actions and their consequences ) The goals were obviously the same but the way you played it was completely changed it was like playing a board game.

I think I'm going to be the first one to use this sentence honestly: "Thanks for the lag riot"

Putting the "s" in Riot Games ladies and gentlemen.

I think that would be a cool mode if they could pull it off. They'd call it:

200+ Ping Mode

Somehow I get the feeling that even if Riot were to create a turn-based game.. it would still be laggy as fuck.

I play with 200-220 ping everytime, and I climbed this season 2 leagues. It's not so difficult once you've gotten used to it.

You know, 200 ping is like 1/5 of a second delay. Here in SK we regularly play on NA with 200 ping just fine.

I would like to point out that 200 ping isn't even close to 2 second lag. I have had 2000 ping (actual 2 second lag) and I would have to agree that a game mode which revolved around universal 2 second lag would be hilarious.

lag 2-3 second turn-based moba

Hahahahahahahah! That was brilliant!

I would +1 you, but you're at +42, and I like 42. Maybe I'll upvote you later on when someone else changes it. Til then, you get an imaginary +1 from me.

I live in SEA and I get 250 ping** at best**, with 325+ my average. I understand that it's just a circumstance of where people live, but it still really grates me when people complain about 100+ or 200+ ping.

I know this is really about the ping, but I was thinking this game would actually be amazing if you could make it turn based somehow.

I play in Asia and 250 ping is average for me, suck it up :P

Forced delays like that would actually be pretty fun on Howling Abyss, make it a true turn-based mode (really lame during lane phase of SR though).

I play with 200 ping all the time, it is not a 2-3 second delay all the time it's less than a second....
