Got slapped with ultrahigh ping in my first ranked game with the new queue

Ok, i am super excited about the new queue. its really nice and seems to work well. The graphics are awesome too. When i dialed into my first ranked game with it i was stoked. then i noticed my ping. I had spikes up to 2k, where nothing went and then intermittent lag ranging from 200 - 700, fluctuating constantly. I finally couldn't take it anymore, logged off, restarted, logged back in. First my ping was still high, but then it settled down and arrived and stayed at 50, where it usually is since the server move. We fought a good game, but eventually lost. THAT SUCKS!!! obviously.

i recovered well mid, had pretty high cs, good damage to champs but my opponent used my lag and my resulting absence to snowball. I should have known better and not trusted Riot.

I have to make a note and pin it to my forehead:

WAIT WITH RANKED AFTER A PATCH. THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CLIENT AFTER A PATCH! NO EXCEPTIONS!!!

You do realize that the new champ select did absolutely nothing to change your ping in game, right?

I have been playing for weeks on 50 ping and just now after a patch i got high ping and lag spikes. If i could explain it i would but the most obvious explanation is the patch itself, since before it everything was perfectly fine.

you seem so very knowledgeable though, why dont you explain to me the sudden high ping. go ahead.

also, i never said once that it was the new champ select causing the lag.

  1. You implied that you believed the new champ select was the cause. See the "with the new queue" part of your title.
  2. Ping is dependent on your home network, your connection to your ISP (internet service provider, guys like Comcast or AT&T), your ISP, the ISPs that your ISP partners with, and Riot's Servers. Any one of those parties changing anything can result in a sudden high ping spike. You only know Riot updated their servers, but if the issue was with Riots Servers Ranked would be disabled and the problem would be wide spread. If the problem was with the client it would also be wide spread. Seeing as the problem is not wide spread, we can safely say it's not a problem caused by the patch.

except, now that its disabled there is zero lag whatsoever. you can say what you want. this was a problem that was on riots side. its so funny that you vehemently try to pin it on my connection or isp

I only applied the scientific method for you. You can't say it was Riots side because you didn't have enough games to conclude that.

Yes, actually.

In order to prevent people from getting Leaver Buster over a bug in the Champion Select, they disable the Champion Select itself.

did you bother to pingtest.net while u were in the game and experiencing 2k ping to see if it was your connection?
