If you pick south america (latin america north) in league you actually get queued onto florida so if you're east coast just play on a server that speaks a different language than you to have a better ping. You can also play on eu servers because it's the same ping as US if you're an east coaster playing on one of these lovely company's latency-reliant games that hosts "US" servers in california.

The real issue is that they are getting rid of their california infrastructure to setup in chicago? That just seems dumb. Why not branch out and allow players region locked to US to pick between the two locations (or pick both at once).

I'm not that picky about ping, I mean obviously having 15 to NY is sweet and I'd pick it everytime if I could, but anything up to around 70ms is fine for pretty much all genres. The problem is if you host in Cali (portland included) or NY (virginia/nj included) you're forcing half of the country to have 90-110 ping which is unacceptably high.

the point is more they're crying about an almost unnoticeable amount of lag in a game that doesn't punish you that severely.

apparently the LoL playing population of NA just isn't high enough to justify two servers the way they'd have to set it up. i think valve made the right call with all the servers existing separate of your account. only downside is that the foreigners sneaking on to our glorious white people only servers.

This is because the client is still based off of Adobe air and is a steaming pile of poo poo. They're getting rid of it because officially they don't want to segment the na player base but in reality it's because they're balls deep in spaghetti code that ties each account to a server and you can't freely transfer between them without forking over $25 so they've just sorta gone "why bother"and given up on it

They were testing the new servers the other day and random normal games were being played on them. The Technology Is There to use multiple servers, and I can understand why they're doing this, it just isn't a good idea.

The only thing worse than reading League news, is reading Californians talk about quitting their six-figure job if they're forced (but not really forced) to move out of California.

Somehow, that story combines both things.

Well presumably some other world class player from some other team is leaving them and is willing to join EG. Still, that's a hell of a move to replace someone from the team that just won you TI, especially when they looked pretty comfortable doing it and won the last big tournament before TI as well.

They have their reasons. I mean, they have to, you don't break up the team that won TI for no reason. I just wish I had a guess as to what they were.

RTZ wants to play mid and has problems with PPD. I could see him briefly standing in for Fear but nothing more than that.

Unless Aui is secretly as dickish as Envy is (unlikely), or EG is getting Notail... And I'd think that would actually be a step down.
