Hey guys,
I just wanted to see how the server changes are affecting you, the League of Legends community!
PS: If you think your ping is higher than it should be with the server move, check out the Chicago Connection Clinic Megathread! http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/help-support/PZclbVoE-chicago-connection-clinic-megathread
Plastic Mem0ries2 votesWent from 70 MS to 160-200.
RIP living in Alaska, huh?
Sarutobi1 votesi went from 90 to 120. its not noticeable at least from what i can tell. its still playable for me!
ModWuks1 votesHey Bunta!
Your ping went up to 120ms? What region are you playing from, and what ISP are you using?
Yash Gautam1 votesI went from about 70 to high 20's, and I'm in southwest Michigan, so I feel like my ping should be lower, but I'm not complaining.
ModWuks1 votesTWENTY? I think you're good xD
NeverGiveUp11 votes84 ping to 35 ping.
Tigsy91NA1 votesPlaying from abroad (Japan) Ping went from 100 to 170ms Quite a noticeable latency. You can visibly notice the time difference when you click and when your champion starts moving.
ModWuks1 votesHey Tigsy91NA,
I really feel for you. I hope that Riot Games Tokyo opens up League of Legends Japan soon! I know they've been in the process for a while now :P
Alljoy1 votesMy ping was at 300ish, still at 300ish, but with slight spikes whereas earlier it was stable.
I'm to assume the spikes are because of the move taking place and the fluctuations as a result of it, yes?
ModWuks1 votesHey Ginnjii,
It's likely that the ping spikes are a result of a lack of peering from your ISP to the new server. What region do you play from, and what is your ISP?
Alljoy1 votesSouth East Asia, and my ISP is Dialog Axiata.
ModWuks1 votesAh. Found the problem! xP
Alljoy1 votesBut I've always had a stable connection to NA, high ping but stable.
It was stable and at 300 during the transfer and after it too until a few hours ago, any solutions?
ModWuks1 votesIf you're finding your connection to the Riot Games servers are unstable, try the potential solutions in the Troubleshooting Connection Issues Riot Games Support article!
Alljoy1 votesIs that the party line now, that it's a problem on my end? Because it's not like I hadn't done that already, with you even a month ago and we established my ping was high but stable so it was playable.
These lag spikes just started a few hours ago, you know these are the same issues everyone else is having with Riot optimizing the server routes, why are you giving me the same old spiel about trying the Troubleshooting article?
You could just tell me there are no solutions for people from SEA and save us both the time.
ModWuks1 votesHey Ginnjii!
Sorry, I didn't mean to offend. I try to help summoners to the best of my and their potential. I wasn't aware of any changes that Riot was making to the servers that could cause these ping spikes. Unfortunately, I do my best to help the highest amount of summoners each day that it's difficult for me to keep track of who I've helped and what I've recommended, so I really do sincerely apologize for the misunderstanding.
Alljoy1 votesDon't apologize, I was a bit short myself.. probably because when I sent a ticket to Riot Support, I had some quack ask me to disable my firewall entirely and try playing, even though I've made all the necessary exceptions and shown the firewall rules as such.
Feels like no one even bothers reading the details of the tickets and just pastes generic replies.
S2C2Xd9KOy1 votesMine went from 78 - 28 , but my friend who is with the same provider as myself that lives like down the road went from 78-18 and I hate him now lol. Although that 10 ping certainly wont make a difference. I barely even notice one from 78-28 honestly..
ModWuks1 votesHaha! Yeah, I used to have 45ms and I didn't notice any lag, so I'm sure anything lower than 45ms is pretty much the same :)
Project Xero1 votesmine went from 140-160 to 72 which is much better then i could hope it would be, i wasn't expecting 20 so i'm pleasently happy with the change. however as i posted in the thread during a aram game my ping shot up from 72 to 200 for a hot second. but i think that's because of the server move still going on.
ModWuks1 votesHey boociferious,
Are you still encountering ping spikes?
Project Xero1 votesHey boociferious,
Are you still encountering ping spikes?
yeah i played 3 games last night and got ping spikes in all of them, i've sent the test results to riot and now i'm just waiting to hear anything back from them.
LaceUp231 votesPing dropped by about 60 :)
Antonok1 votesI went from 80-100 ping to 25-30.
Not noticeable at all.
Edit: And that'll probably drop lower when I get my new router and comp in a month or so.
