So we all know that Riot's servers are not in a good state right now as Riot themselves have admitted that themselves and they even made an update 'fixing' some of the issues. I personally still feel quite inconsistent from game to game and the only thing that made the game 'feel' better would be by restarting my game client nearly every ranked game, otherwise it would really feel as if I can't hit a single bullet at an enemy standing still. However, this thread is not really about that as we all know how annoying it is to have to deal with inconsistent servers already.
This thread is about those annoying players with 80-150 ping speedboat peeking everyone and 1 tapping you before you can even react. This is because when they peek an angle you do not see them untill much later, but they see you! Giving them around 10 years to 1tap you while you only have 0.001 ms to react.
I average around 20 ping and it gets really annoying playing vs a 90 ping reyna getting a Bugatti speed buff every time they peek me. Even if I try to jiggle peek them I just end up dying behind a wall, I'm sure many of you have experience this issue.
My solution:
Why can't we just have a ping queue? I'm sure nobody will mind longer queue times in return for a higher quality game. Just group people according to their average ping on any given server and let high ping players play against high ping players while low ping players play against low ping players. That way nobody has an advantage over the other.
If a low ping players wants to play with a high ping player, they get placed in a high ping lobby. That way the low ping player may be put at a disadvantage in a high ping lobby but at least they are doing so while they are aware of it and that it is their choice. There are so many servers on this game, but people purposefully pick servers that they have a higher ping on to abuse their peekers advantage, there's no reason to play on 90 ping when you can play on 30 ping, I really believe people do this to gain an unfair advantage.
stop punishing low ping players for having a low ping, either region lock everyone or make high ping lobbys for high ping players, I am tired of playing vs people that have 3-6x my ping it makes the game nearly unplayable for me at times, it's just not fun.
