Start up a ranked match. Pick your favorite role, champion, whatever - just go about your champion select as normal. Flame your team and instalock ad mordekaiser top or whatnot. While entering the game, set a timer on your phone to alert you every 30 seconds.

Play the game as normal with two exceptions:

  1. You must blink four times a second for the duration of the game, or otherwise slow your reaction time by about 0.2 seconds.
  2. Every time the timer beeps, take your hands off your keyboard and mouse for 5 seconds and let your champion walk/stand still in the direction you are currently travelling blindly for a bit.

Congratulations! You're now playing on the East Coast. You may notice you are now losing the game. Worry not, this is a typical symptom of this condition. Repeat until East Coast servers are completed in the year 3059.

Not all east coast players deal with that, contrary to what the forums want to believe.

I actually live in Georgia as well and I have around 90-130 ping all the time. Just saying.

And a few matches a week it will sky rocket to the roofs to above 200.

My internet is fine, and my type of computer might not be meant for "gaming" but it's quite ok.

I have a game for all of you...

Play like I did in China with 280 ping and 350 ping lag spikes...... You DC, and u shuffle in the game....

Good enough be like faker, and predict enemy movements...

Too bad Tencent blocked NA league in China....... I do not like the Chinese client, because it is incompatible to my mac.

So for all East Coast Player's, whining and stuff, please realize that there is still a large international player base that is playing in NA.

I've lived in Atlanta, GA for the past 5~ months. This is without a doubt the best internet connection I've had since I started playing this game, and I started Mid S2, while living in California.

Maybe ya'll just need to invest in better internet and dont play on WiFi.

It's just getting ridiculous now. I started playing this game in season 3 and people were complaining about it before then. With the recent Steam summer sale I picked up CSGO. While I'm awful at it, whenever I play the game, it's roughly the same as everyone else's 30ish. At least when I lose fights there I know it's because I suck, and not because I'm at a 100 ping difference between the person I'm playing with.
