LPQ discriminates against players with not so good internet.

I'm one of those players that Riot wouldn't miss whether I play or not. In fact, they would probably love it if I just deleted LOL. I'm currently have a terrible time in LOL. I've just been demoted from B3 to B4 for lossing 3 or 4 straight games. I usually play support. The last three games were as follows:

  1. we had a feeding top who raged all game (he was teemo feeding Yasuo)
  2. we had a support Soraka who AFK beginning of the game and people refused to remake.
  3. we had two smurfs. One said he was boosting an account and demanded for mid. when he failed to get it, he went jungle and farmed all game. That's LOL for you.

Then........I teamed up with a friend to try getting my rank back. During game play, I had a windows 10 glitch that rebooted my PC. The client kept saying it was updating icons. When I finally logged in, we were losing and I was given 5 game LPQ. Queue time = 20mins

Where I come from, we pay top dollar to get half decent internet to play LOL, the best ping I can get is 190ms and there is no server nearby.

I have submitted various support tickets on several occasions with no help and no interest shown towards any of my queries.

I guess Riot is too big to give a damn about the little guy from half way across the world who plays for the sheer fun of it.

TBF you understand your internet is not the best and still continue to play a game that requires a decent connection.

Its not that they don't want you to play, its just there is no economic incentive to put servers closer to you. 190 is bad but it is playable

I've played with 140 from season 1-3, not sure when they centralized the Us servers but I did vastly enjoy league after that.

Best of luck resolving your issue
