So I played a game earlier only to find that every player had rougly 100 ping. 'This can't be happening!' I told myself, 'Riot told us we'd never get put on NA servers again after the split!'

Afterwards I decided to look at the Redtracker on CLG's site, only to find this.

Link.

Quoted:
Hey Riot,
at least this evening each second of my games is being played on the us servers... when is this gonna stop as you promised?


We're doing this on West right now to maintain some balance on the server. This isn't going to be permanent and we were not happy that it's needed at all, we announced it wasn't going to be necessary and it was a very difficult decision to make.

It turned out to be right for overall stability, and we will keep you updated as soon as we're able to switch these out.



Quoted:
Yeah Ymir, not only do we have the constant 100+ ms latency, there are periodical lag spikes up to 400-500 ms, making it impossible to play at times. Have none of you even noticed?


We announced it on the day of the split as we know how annoying it can be. It genuinely was a case of we didn't want to, we didn't expect to, but we really needed to or there could be issues until we make some changes.


I'm too enraged to type right now; instead I shall express my opinion with the following images.

I wouldn't be annoyed, but Riot said they would remove them from the server pool after the split, but they lied.

Riot must really hate the EU...

^I'd rather have some lag but be able to understand the players I play with. Communication > Lag.

100ms is decent enough for me.

I knew there was a reason I was getting this lag....
A huge ***** of people being transferred to a different server with a lot of people already, can't be good.

When I say NA servers, I mean the New York based backup servers that a certain percent of EU games were already being transfered to prior to the split. Riot promised us this would end after the split, but it seems a percentage of West games are still being to moved to these overflow servers.

Doesn't have anything to do with the 'actual' NA servers that you guys play on.

Oh, and two out of the three games I played today were on them. :P
