A disparity in the east coast servers

So I just want to say that I took a speedtest on my wifi. When i use ethernet its significantly faster. Heres the issue, in game I have maybe... 100 ping at the lowest to 400 ping. But if you see my download speed its clearly not my internet and my computer works pretty well so my computer is not the issue.

So, Riot, if you could explain how the difference between West and East coast servers in your domestic continent. That would be great because my numbers seem to add up nicely. So why dont yours?

its because there is no east coast server, we are neglected, no matter how much we spend Riot puts that money towards tournaments in korea and, well, ANYTHING besides an east coast server, a year ago (with slower internet) i used to ping about 80, its been gradually going up (unaffected by my ISP upgrades) and now sits around 100(so it says) and acts like 800 sometimes(on a bad day) but still reads 110-120

ever since the new summoners rift came out ive been having major timeout and disconnect issues that have affected my gaming so bad that most people on my friends list dont want to play with me anymore, those that still do are either the ones experiencing the same problems (all my IRL friends) or the ones that have alot of patience and will put up with it only because i do (which is a bum deal for them too)

ive reported the problems many times, my posts either get removed or im told its my fault, ive twice upgrade my internet, re-installed League, messed around with my Anti-virus' and firewall, even went as far as shutting em off (bad idea) but nothing helped

and itll only get worse with every "update" many people still haveing trouble with the new patch, it took me 18 attempts before getting the patch, finally got it and in my first game i had the 100 ping that acted like 800, it was terrible, i havent played since (been almost 12 hrs and i keep wanting to play but its pointless because i dont live in the west, so dumb)

your speeds are higher than mine, logically you shouldnt have any problems with those speeds

sidenote : most games my ping is between 30 and 60 but in LoL 90 is the best i can hope for, assuming its accurate

Yeah exactly! We are the domestic country for which league was created despite the fact that the venture capitalist is a Chinese company. But seriously they need to expand domestically more. I can understand that they want to hit the 'hotspots' for gaming. But i kinda dont care. It seems selfish I know. I just think that you should have a strong base before expanding to the "east" side of the continent without fixing problems you have at home or at least better resolve them.
