I might just be sadistic but I really want to see two lcs teams play against each other in (equal) laggy conditions, just to see how they react and adjust. It doesn't have to be major, maybe somewhere between 100-200 ping and a lower fps than they're used to. I just want to see how crippling just a little lag can be among the best of the best, hehe.
AbrahamBaconham65 votesForce pro players to experience east coast servers?
YES PLEASE
Rew7114 votesmy acquaintance came from the west servers to our east and it did not take him 1 week between our meeting of each other and the knowledge of us playing LoL was transferred between us that he said, and I quote, "dude, this lag is terrible. how do you even play over here?"

CoolKnightST3 votesEUW servers
Rock Rockburgh2 votesAs a frequent viewer of pro Dota, this is basically what happens. The video maker knows what he's talking about. (Context: Pro Dota matches, except LANs, are played on normal servers. There are frequently problems.)
Not enough disconnects and remakes, though.
SpecterVonBaren8 votesThe issue is that the problem with high ping isn't so much that your ping is high, it's that the ping of everyone else isn't. If you make it so everyone has the same amount of high ping then it won't be as interesting as you think. Not saying it wouldn't be interesting or that it wouldn't mess people up, just pointing something out.
DayVGaming8 votesI'd rather they just split east and west and let everyone have good ping.
Vellich0r6 votesbump for great justice!
BeatzBoyFTW6 votesThrown headphones in anger everywhere. Fear the Koreans.......
Killer X 125 votesLol you mean the ping for the average East coast player? Mine is almost always about 100-120.
Taarki4 votesThat's what I have and I am in Wisconsin. I don't understand why its that hard to play with?
jmaishere3 votesit really isn't in normal play, but when people are competitively playing it makes or breaks the situation when trying to dodge skillshots
Solumindra12 votesIt isn't that it's "hard to play with" It's that playing at 30-50 ping (west coast) allows them to dodge skill shots on reaction vs prediction. 100+ ping forces you to predict enemy skill shots instead of reacting, this is a huge disadvantage.
Incognonymous5 votesI want to see "Reconnecting" every pro game.
FancyKiwi5 votesIt'd be funny because some, if not all, pros hit 100 ping and say "Aw man what is with this lag.?"
DarkLiquidDeath4 votesIt would be fun to watch it, especially if we could hear/see their reactions.
Pikmints4 votesThese sadistic thoughts are perfectly normal. Wanting to alter the conditions of either the best or worst to get interesting results is common.
I'd also like to see a team of Bronze 5 individuals play against the pros and see just how that would be. Would the pros win in 10 minutes? Would the Bronze team hug their towers? Would the pro team get any deaths? I also imagine that since the pros are so used to upper tier play, some of the bronze running-in-circles strategy may be misinterpreted as them trying to do something that higher tier players would try to get an advantage instinctively.
jmaishere1 votesit depends, a lot of bronze players are in bronze simply due to a disinterest in playing ranked, you also have to consider the sheer amount of feeders and afkers in bronze, in about half my games recently i've had feeders which had around 10 deaths before 20 minutes, so even if i did well as the jungler, the other team was too fed
Frikgeek2 votesHappens to both teams equally. You're in bronze because you're a worse player than those not in bronze. Though not like silvers or even plats would stand much of a chance against the pros. I once played a custom game with a master tier(and 1 d2 player) PUG against a full team of plats that have been playing together for half a year. We beat them in just over 20 minutes through splitpushing and individual skill. You can imagine how hard they'd be crushed when playing against challenger pros that know each other and have voice comms.
iamthegoatofwar2 votesI'm a gold player. Frik that's not completely true about stuck in bronze cause you're worse. Some teams can't be carried and with bad enough luck you can't carry them most of the time.
jmaishere1 voteswell i mean im sure it would help if i also played a hyper carry, but i don't play most hypercarries
Yandere Carry1 voteswrong.
2000boxes3 votesIf i were to play against c9 hai i would lock in zed and show him that your supposed to ult the low health damage dealer and not the enemy support like honestly i watched worlds and 3 times in 1 game i had to pause the video log onto league and play zed to make sure that its not the champs kit that is causing him to ult the support but in all seriousness i would just hug tower and farm with q on zed until maybe my teams godyr is done farming

I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE
Samflash34 votesWe'll call the match, "SoloQueue".
AngryLlamaBaby2 votesNot unless pros rage quit and troll.
Stompburger4 votesJust read this as "Poros Playing in Lag"
You had me at "Poros Playing"
jmaishere3 votesthey should add in the occasional 500 ping spikes
InuYasha55493 votesDude....
On NA I get 100-200 ping normally and I deal with it. The day I get sub 100 ping I will go out and buy RP just because.
Sirin Gioro3 votesINB4 pro players rage "wtf this ping I can't CS, gg im afk fkn noob rito thx 4 this shit 150 ping"
Meanwhile us East coasters...
Decaedeus3 votesOr, you know. Featured Game Mode: BR Ping. Ping adjusted delay of 300 ms (300 ms - your ping). Then we get pros to stream this.
MeBuffULongTime3 votesYES! THEY CAN SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE TO DEAL WITH EAST COAST PING!!! Sorry for caps but I think they probably forget how good they have it living on the west coast and other places. I would love to see this.
TankEpidemic2 votesThat would actually be VERY interesting to watch.
Junkο2 votesPro players wouldn't actually care as much as people think they would. I had 200 ping when playing on NA servers and after about 10-20 games i got used to it and played like an average player. If they had a few games of practice, i'm sure it would be just another pro game, but since there would be a small 0.5-1 sec delay, i guess we wouldn't actually be seeing Thresh, Yasuo or Zed every game.
pro crastinat0r12 voteslol I have seen Dyrus Voyboy Wingsofdeathx Bjergsen Scarra and many other high level player whine and moan on stream when they get a 70ping (gasp wow much unplayable very lag). Wouldn't care, my big fat hairy nerd ass
Watch92 votesOnly 0.5 to 1?
ONLY?!?!
Junkο1 votesIt only matters if you play TF or Yasuo (you will always miss your W or never activate your ult).
Zen Fury1 votesIt only matters if you play TF or Yasuo (you will always miss your W or never activate your ult).
It matters on any skillshot based champ. It's a hell of a lot easier to hit your skillshots on 30 ping than it is on 120 ping. Pro players would adapt after a few games (and some of their regular champs may not be played as a result), but it would be vindicating to hear the complaining about lag.
HypnoBubbles2 votesset it up as a 5 team battle royal, 3 members per team, all battling for one goal.
we can call it the Riot Organized Fighting League.
of course, the pro version will be ' Riot Organized Fighting League Masters Advanced Ops.'

I see what you did there.
Drunk Rummate2 votesi think LCS should be hosted on the East Coast until riot fixes their sh*t
Gorbache2 votesI never go over 90 in Eastern Canada so I'm quite lucky... Speaking of pro playing on the East Coast though, Nightblue3 has kept in the top of solo queue constantly and he is playing with more than 90 ping pretty much all the time! I always wonder how good he'd be if he was on the West coast!
Rikari2 votesLoL my lowest ping ever is 200 What I want though, is to see a LCS team win with an AFK. THAT is what I NEED.
iainB852 votesHa, the LC$ players that regularly stream complain if their ping "spikes" to 40 and call it unplayable.
jmaishere1 votesclearly you don't understand what bronze is like, do you understand what's it like having someone consistently feed each game? the games basically come down to which team feeds more, even more than that, bronze is full of trolls who insist on certain lanes and then proceed to feed. Once in bronze it's probably harder to climb out of bronze than it would be for me to ascend in silver providing i didn't get too lazy and drop from silver to bronze
Yandere Carry1 votes"someone feed each game" welcome to every single game... YOU DO REALIZE someone Loses EVERY LANE every game right? like... both teams can't win.
jmaishere2 voteslosing a lane is one thing, going 0/6 before 15 minutes is a different story, going 0/6 before your turret is even down, is a problem
Yandere Carry1 votesPretty sure Dyrus did that at worlds.
