If you have a bad connection...

THEN DON'T PLAY RANKED. I am sick of stupid people losing me games because they want to play when they have a shitty connection.

I wish there was a notification in the client for my ping before I enter champ select - sometimes waiting half hour makes a huge difference. My internet still works, and when I test my ping on external sites it is always WAY better than on LOL.

I think it would be easy to implement.

There is a way to check your ping/packet losses to Riot's server. You just have to google it. Then, you can just run the quick ping checker from your computer (not those silly sites) and tell if you are having issues at that time or not. While this is a good idea, it won't get addressed because Riot thinks their servers are fine and that all ping related issues are your fault, not theirs. So, they don't waste their time on the issue.

what if someone has great connection one game and then crappy the next? theres only so much control one has over the IP address/servers/weather/internet provider etc. dont rage so much

Not talking about the people that have it one game. I'm talking about the "Damn Rito, Ive been laggy all day but im going to keep playing ranked to dick over teammates because im stupid"

I understand that lol. I just get highly frustrated over stupidity :( I don't even care if I lose the game because the other team is just better. I mean, I care still lol, but don't rage about it at all.

Riot is the problem in 50% of cases. What are they going to do? Ban themselves?

Nucleophilic atk2 votes

1 person having issues...must be riot.

Rito needs to get their shit together and ban this already. So stupid.

I always play a couple normals 1st to see how my connection is for the day but every couple weeks i get a day where it changes one game to the next no thing i can do about that but apologize to my teammates.

No offense, but if you know that you are having one of those days, why continue to play ranked in hopes that it won't mess up that time? Wouldn't it be smarter to just play normals that day?

This shouldn't be an issue when you can do a simple ping test to Rito's servers to make sure you aren't losing packets like crazy.

Lol riot definitely has bugs that causes DC and inability to connect

I am not talking about whether or not it is Rito's fault. If you are experiencing connection problems, REGARDLESS OF THE REASON, then be smart enough not to play ranked matches. I don't know why people need told this.

They must be the reason why you're bad

What? Who said I am bad? Hopefully not you since I am gold5 and you are gold4 lol. Nor does that has nothing to do with this argument. Are you actually saying that it is ok to join ranked ques when you have been lagging all day, only to d/c and cost your team a lose? Are you trolling or a dumb dumb? It must be one of the two.

Please don't confuse a typo and lack of will to review my post for being a dumb dumb :) Clearly answered my question, though. So, thank you!

Honestly you can really stop them from playing ranked because they will want to play just as much as the next person. Although it does really suck when people DC/AFK because of a bad connection. I have lost quite a lot of games due to this because people have dc'd and there is just simply no way you can win a 4v5 unless you got fed like 30-0 which is highly unlikely. A lot of the times its the game itself that is causing issues. Ever since this new patch i have had the "attempting to reconnect" message show up in a game for like 10 seconds ever since the new patch. My internet is find and perfectly applicable for gaming as are other people's connections, but it's just the sever that causes these problems. When its known on a large scale about server issues you do get loss prevented. Although it really does suck that just because one person on the team was having issues while everyone else is fine it is counted as a loss which is beyond me.

Awesome tip I learned alot. Its almost like this isnt a game, but some sort of job where everyone hates each other. Keep up the good work.

Nucleophilic atk1 votes

You're welcome. I can also teach you something else if you are interested. During your first sentence, "Awesome tip I learned alot.", you should have put, "Awesome tip, I learned a lot." The more you know.

Also, thanks for supporting afks in ranked matches, speaks volumes about yourself :).
