i hope the reason i went from 70 constant ping to 300 constant ping in the past week is because they are actually working on it

because riots a greedy company that would rather pour money into poisoning the minds of the youth into believing pro gaming is a good career, instead of going to school and doing something useful all in the name of hype for profits so they dont buy decent servers, let alone east coast servers.

rekt.

Agreed.

that would rather pour money into poisoning the minds of the youth into believing pro gaming is a good career,

Depends on your definition of 'good'. Most of these pro gamers make an average annual earning of $240,000/year, and upwards of $2,100,000/year (based on external factors as well; eg. streaming, donations, sponsorships, tournies, recruitment payoffs, coaching etc.)

instead of going to school and doing something useful

Disagreed. There are a ton of useless people out there that went through all sorts of schooling. Then again, there are a ton of people who didn't go though school (to an extent) and are living a happy, balanced life/career. If you'd rather go ahead and shift papers hidden behind a cubicle until your face wrinkles from old age and you're too elderly to enjoy retirement, go for it. I'd still take the pro-gaming route. I don't owe the world shit, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't seize an opportunity to play a freaken' video games for tons of profit and fame.

all in the name of hype for profits so they dont buy decent servers, let alone east coast servers.

RIP East Coast servers.

How does it feel?

So how is being a pro gamer any different than being a pro athelete, or an actor/actress? Answer: There is no difference because it's called Culture, in today's society we are slowly revering Professional Gaming as a form of Culture, this is practically South Korea's past time, much like America's past time is Baseball and Europe's is Futbol (Soccer).

You cannot just expect to be able to purchase location, equipment and then set everything up in a heartbeat, it takes time and I'm sure they are working to implement things over time. They are releasing a new server system as I have read on some other posts they've made regarding this.
