Checking ping prior to a game

I hope Riot soon adds an option to check ping in client prior to joining a game but I'm gonna tell you guys a trick to check it. All you have to do is open your command prompt (In Windows 8/10 you can just type "cmd" into the search bar) and then copy/paste this.

ping 104.160.131.1

And it will give you a rough estimate of your ping. If you want to be sure, try it and then do it again 5 minutes later and once again 5 more minutes later. But you should be fine doing it once if you think your connection is going to be bad due to a storm or multiple people using the internet or something else. Just a friendly heads up to everyone!

I made a batch file so I can just click and run it. Looks like this;

cd c:/windows/system32 ping 104.160.131.1 -t pause

Really useful before starting my ranked matches.
