Less skins more equality for ping

the only people who would disagree would be the west coast scum who cry about 30 ping.

So... you're saying Riot should have the graphic designers and artists they have working on new skins move over to building connection infrastructure for east-coasters? Or perhaps you think they'd be better off just going on with new servers.

Either way, I'm left wondering how art and graphic design skills would translate to that kind of work.

No thank you. I think if the art team started working on the servers that West Cost Ping would jump to 100-200 and East Coast would get banned out by LeaverBuster for never connecting.

or they could limit skin production while they make the game fair enough for east coasters to play.

They could, but why would they?

Riot isn't going to want their art team to leave, so they're going to need to keep paying them. And if Riot is paying them, they're going to want them to work. And if they're going to work, it might as well be on something productive.

Honestly, this suggestion makes less sense than suggesting that you move to the West Coast.

you went too literal with what i said. with the amount of skins being released right now.. something could be done about the servers but its not.

This just makes you look childish. Really? You think there's no one, not a single person at Riot working on ways to fix the ping on the East Coast? Riot's already mentioned that the server maintanance earlier this month was part of the project to reduce ping on the East Coast.

no it wasnt to reduce ping in east coast. the title itself had a parenthesis saying it was for west coast. lol.. also every single time we ask them whats going on with east coast servers they tell us this "soon". not a single red post has been made about it. its a simple understanding that they dont care.

it would still be better than this current shit stain east coasters play with.

lets stop worrying about that part for now and get to the part i care about. equality. nonstop riot preaches how if you are good you will be rewarded but the simple truth is that east coasters are already at a disadvantage from the moment they download league. how can they proclaim that their game is fair when the game itself is supporting nearly half the players but not the other?

Hey, now. You're the one that wanted to make this about skins and their connection to East Coast ping.

I'm just confused about what that connection is.

the connection is they keep releasing all these skins but when someone asks them if an east coast server is in the works they completely ignore them. fuck the skins when i cant even enjoy the skin in game to begin with because im teleporting all over the place.

Okay, so you don't care about skins because you're having ping issues. Sure, makes sense.

But what does Riot's skin team have to do with your ping? What good would cutting their workload do?

I mean, it wouldn't free them up to work on something that they're not qualified to work on, so that can't be it. It won't free up funds, because they're already getting paid (and likely paid a salary, so it's a fixed amount regardless of the actual hours worked), so that can't be it.

So what do the two have to do with each other?

And understand, I'm fully sympathetic with your concerns about ping. I just have never understood why so many people want to make this whole "stop making skins" argument, because it doesn't make sense.

listen idk what kind of answer you want, but ffs stop bringing up the stupid literal term. I MEANT LESS FOCUS ON SKINS MORE FOCUS ON EQUALITY. i already know the next answer is "but what do they have to do with ping???"

That's not really an answer, but a question. But yeah. Because you still haven't answered or addressed it.

Your entire argument is based around the idea that somehow if Riot's Skin Team stopped working on Skins, it would free up something that could be put towards improving ping on the East Coast.

But you don't address how that would work, or what benefit would be offered towards improving ping.

Honestly, you'd be better off complaining about the PB&J team, and the focus on removing toxicity. At least the people there have some training in systems and software development that might be applicable.

You're also ignoring that there's a whole team dedicated to improving performance, who have a whole slew of things they're working on for that goal.

the benefit offered towards improving ping? idk.. better ping? with all these skins being released it seems that their company is hard at work at making money. but when it comes to making better servers they seem to lack the brain cells for it.

No, the question isn't what is the benefit of improving ping. The question is what benefit - towards the goal of improving ping - would be offered by having the Skin Team stop working on skins?

Or, to phrase it another way, assuming that Riot did stop releasing skins, what would the Skin Team be doing that would - in any way - affect East Coast ping?

PLEASE, I live in China, with really bad internet. Best Ping I have ever gotten and usually get is 180-200. Nowadays after this patch its 350. And no, skins are how riot earn money. Don't cry about your 80 ping, if you do, just quit. please.

Why would I play on the Chinese Server, I can't write in Chinese and understand anything their saying... All my friends are on NA too. But now that I know people like you exist, who cant deal with 100 ping, I'm thinking of moving to the Chinese server.
