I started playing league around 2.5 years ago and when I started I used to get a solid 121 ping every game. Every 6 months or so I get ping decrease. As of today I'm getting a solid 82 ping. This is a huge drop since I started playing and I'm really impressed with riot.
Laraso1 votesPing is determined by a lot of factors, not just how good Riot's servers are.
Starcall Casey1 votesRiot has improved their servers over and over again and have documented it again and again. They work with internet providers hand and hand to make sure we get the best experience as possible. I can see that the internet providers (at least in Canada where I live) have gotten better and better over the past 4 years and that's also another contributor to the ping decrease that i'm getting.
aaronautumn1 votesI used to be around 50-60 when I joined in 2011, now I'm around 70-80 sometimes going as low as 60. Then again, I've switched internet providers since then, idk if that makes a difference.
