Open letter to Riot: NA Central Servers

Hey Riot,

I've been playing your game for a long time now, since 2011. I LOVE this game, and have spent countless hours (81 actual days to be precise) However, I have stopped playing almost altogether. This is because I live in a place with bad internet, and it's getting to the point where I simply can't make risky plays, CS better, etc on the ping I have so it's no longer practical for me to play.

A while back you said you were working on centrally located servers. I have heard serveral Rioters say they don't want to talk about things like this because of commitment problems, so I won't ask for A SINGLE DATE. All I ask is for a thread (heck this thread for all I care) where you post monthly updates about what the state of the central servers are. I don't care if it's the same thing week after week. I don't care if you are behind schedule. I won't be mad if you do other things first. I won't ask for an estimated due date, or anything. All I want is a little transparency.

I just want to be able to play my favorite game.

All the best, Syndra Fyndra

np, I was the guy assembling this post during the whole March DDoS shenanigans and had it handy. While I don't think a monthly updates requirement would be a particularly exciting thing (probably "waiting on hardware" every month for a year, or something like that lol) an update of some form would be cool. I'm on the East Coast so I feel your pain, :P

Um I am pretty sure you guys are cherry picking threads on this topic. Other rioters said at times they had no set plans for servers in other places and that they were mostly working on improving direct connections.

Also riot has never has one person say something and other say something completely different. Merello, Phreak, any rioter in general. I have had rioters on the forums directly contradict the email support system. Riot is a company that does not even share what they do among themselves.
