Server issues or Client side issues

Hey people.

Been enjoying my ranked games so far. However, what I did notice is that almost every game, I've had people who are always lagging, and I mean 300+ ping, most often going up to 500-800. I've even seen numbers as high as 2000. If there aren't any bad laggers there are the DCs. If someone disconnects in a crucial fight, or early game in lane, it makes winning the game very very hard.

Not sure if there are issues with the servers or just the players having really bad internet, but I feel like there should be some form of mechanism dealing with issues like this. It's not fun to lose a winning game because of lag or DC, nor is it rewarding to stomp a game 4v5.

I'm happy that we now have the Remake function, but its very conditional in that the person has to DC from the very start. What if someone DCs at say 10 min?

Perhaps there should be a notice in game everytime the server is experiencing issues, letting people know that there might be lags and Disconnects, that way we know to avoid playing ranked. Or if the game detects that your ping is abnormally high, it prevents you from queueing for the sake of yourself and others.

What do you all think?

if there is server wide issue, loss prevention would be turned on

Well, there already is a notice anytime Riot servers are having issues (or a major ISP is having widespread issues, even if they aren’t Riot caused). If there’s no notice, then problems are either very localized or they are the person’s connection/computer itself.
