Too many ranked games were lost because someone had lags and he didn't know it before he connected to the game. there should be a ping test to show everyone if they have lags, not everyone will use cmd or make a custom game to check ping before every ranked games.
this thing should be pretty easy to make for riot and it will be very helpful and very useful. what do you guys think?
Chermorg1 votesWhat happens when lag issues only happen when graphics intensive and/or packet intensive things happen? Or when lag issues start mid-game?
While this would help for people that have a continual lag issue, I have a feeling that those are less than 1% of the people who are doing poorly because of lag.
xNirag1 votespacket intensive things can be emulated in the ping test and I feel like most people that have constant lag have it from the start of the game( some have some ups and downs but this is more manageable than constant lag)
also I dont really know but I think it is pretty easy to make it so it wont bother any users and only be an extra feature. I have had games where I myself had lags from the start of the game and couldn't do anything about it ( until I discovered that my 4g internet works great when it happens and it doesnt use much data)
Chermorg1 votesBut if it's just an extra feature, there's not much of a case for requiring it. And if it's not required, why put the effort into something very few people will use anyway?
I love the idea to prevent players from lagging in games, but I think the more pressing issue is dealing with the players who know they'll lag another game because they just lagged in a previous game but still keep playing.
I'm not a technical person enough, I just don't know how feasible this is. It's not a bad idea just trying to make this more cheddar and less swiss.
