Oh, so ping is suddenly an issue now?
How long have west coast players said, "Deal with it, it isn't that bad"? Now I see a bunch of west coast threads complaining about how the new server location is "unfair".
Man, 
is a bitch.

I'm from the West coast and I can't believe how selfish people are doing.
"But muh 24 ping! I can't play at 50!"
...Then what about the East coast that constantly plays at 90-100...? Show some empathy.
Upvoted for the pun
Its beyond funny, to the point its just sad.
"Fix your internet scrubs, its not riots servers because they are fine for me, its you" - Average West Coast Player before the truth hit them in the face today with the possibility of FAIRNESS.
"OMG RIOT FIX YOUR SERVERS, THIS ISNT FAIR, DONT MOVE THE SERVER, LIKE WTF" - Average West Coast Player after todays test ended.
Its so silly that even the pros are posting on social media that this change is a horrible idea, and how unfair it is for them.
All I'm saying is, plz bring on the tears West Coasters/Pros. Plz More, God Plz More :)
One last thing, A few of those pros were complaining about 75 ping. I'm 100% serious.
7 5 ping....
The real winners are the people in the Midwest it is going to be so wonderful.
i play league with 200-225 ping, get over it, all of you
California peeps aren't going to be getting 70 if my time with the new server is any indication. Northern AZ here and my ping went from 65 to 104. Most Cali folks can easily expect 120+
I'm from west coast, but I've never seen anyone say "deal with it" to east coast players.
to be fair, having your ping go up isn't the same as it being high from the beginning.
My favorite part is all the pro players having to move when the game becomes unplayable with +20 ping
The thing that frustrates me the most is that for much of the Eastern US, if you really, really want to play with good ping, you can play on LAN. I don't have that option on the western side of the US. I can either play with 100+ ping or not play at all. Great for everyone who benefits from the server move but I am deeply unsettled by just how ok most of you are with the western states and Canada being screwed because Riot refuses to run 2 servers.
That's because people were literally saying they were held back skill wise from ping lol. All of sudden people on the east coast are saying 80 ping is playable and people on west coast should stop complaining yet were the ones crying for a change lol.
