Investigating Na Ping VS Korea.

So currently the united states has a fair spread of servers, so their ping is pretty decent no matter where you are, looking at the map of Canada, the north needs more servers to play on. I currently have around 60-70 MS ping and i know what your thinking "oh that's really low wow, i spike to 150 ping" But keeping a steady low ping has a high impact on games.

FOR EXAMPLE Look at Korea, the most prestigious league community known for being very good at what they do. I may be ranting here but on stream they are often seen with 15 ping or less. Now, Korea is small so they shouldn't need as many servers because ping wont have as much travel time, but over here in north america we are just over 98 times larger than them. (ONLY U.S. INCLUDED, Including Canada would make it near 200 times larger then mexico etc..)

a steady 65 ping makes moves like insec or even the khaz double jump or even general kiting much harder to do. Playing this game as long as i have i can feel my ping between clicks, its hardly noticeable but it is defiantly there.

Lets put this into perspective. 50MS ping is 0.05 seconds or 1/20th of a second. Now lets say that a projectile is heading towards me and i only have 250ms to react. That is a 20% ping based handicap, i cant tell you how many times i have just barely been hit by an Ezreal q or some other fast projectile, and i honestly feel that if that 50 MS ping was around 15-20 like Korea, i would be much faster to react and thus, i would be hit by less projectiles and likely be better at the game, since that same handicap would now only be at around 6-8% which is potentially less than half of what it would be currently.

Deeper perspective. Many people on NA play with ping north of 100MS. and many play at 150MS ping in some severe cases. Those same reactions at 100MS and 150MS ping would net the following numbers.

At 100MS Ping 0.1 second delay, or a 40% handicap At 150MS ping 0.15 Second Delay, or a 60% handicap Anything higher would likely make you unable to dodge the skillshot because human reaction generally ins't fast enough without prediction.

In conclusion, I'm not saying that i would be challenger if i had lower ping, because there is a lot of macro in the game rather that 100% micro, But i'm sure it would help out quite a lot. North america needs more servers. It would be very beneficial to have my reaction time closer match the games reaction time with decreased ping. Hike the rp prices if you really do need to pay for more servers, but riot is worth over 1 billion dollars and league of legends is has shares held from higher net worth companies.

Just my two cents on NAs current situation. Thanks for reading.
