Idea for connection problems

Hi, my name is Laurens and im a player in EUW. I really enjoy playing this game and i have been doing so for 3 years. Where ever i go i like to take my laptop so i can play league. A problem i sometimes encounter in a strange environment is that i dont know how good the internet is. A thing that sometimes happens to me and i can imagine causes a bit of a problem all over league, is i start a game and after it started i find out the internet isnt good enough to support league and i end up not being able to play that game. To test this i usually make a custom game but that can take some time. My suggestion is; Make a test connection button which checks what your ping would be ingame. This way ppl can check their internet, and wont join games with bad internet and therefor ruin the experience for others.

I hope you see this and i look forward to a reaction

Kind regards

Laurens aka Gvtn Laurens

The only reason I think it doesn't work is because every game is different. One game could be great, whereas the next game after that could be unplayable because of lag.

True but im not aiming at unstable internet with lagspikes. It fits more in a situation like when you go to your friend and you want to play league there and you have no idea what kind of internet speed he has. Its like an ingame pingcheck, what would my ping be like if i play a game here. For example a friend of mine has really bad internet, he has a standart 200 ping. It would be really nice if i had a way to know before i started a game and im stuck untill the end with bad internet. If the pingcheck says i will have a ping of 200 i wouldnt even start the game.

Picture it like the ping in loading screen before a game. There is a little green dot which shows your ping. Imagine it in your client in a corner somewhere so you always know what ur ping is.
