Original Post — Direct link

Hey guys I have friends scattered around the world and would like to settle on a 'midway' server for all us. I'm based in SA (South Australia) Can anyone please advise what latency you can get on EUNE, EUW, NA? Is there a server where ping is playable? Friends are based in Pakistan, America, and UAE. Currently we are playing on Japan with 180+ ping. Havent also tried Garena for south east asia.

Would love to know what to do for some ranked games with friends.

Edit Pings after testing lvl1s on recommendations:

NA: 230-250ish EUNE & W: 300-310ish JP: 180-190ish TR: 290ish BR: 360ish

Ouch, I feel your pain from playing MP games in aus back in the day. If you are going to be on that kind of latency then consistency will matter as much as another average 50ms. I would guess that KR is your best option. Also please don't use WiFi.

ping on KR? never tried.. frankly scared of that server hahah

You could try from commandline "ping google.co.kr" and it will give you an idea

You can also do "tracert google.co.kr" to see where the different hops your internet traffic will go through

KR just has the best network infrastructure in the world and a very high player density for League so its likely you'll get a more reliable connection and faster match times for a similar skill level

How does that relate to the ping I would get on league KR games?

Oof, sorry. That address resolves to a local mirror. Try "ping 218.234.18.181" intsead. It should be closer to the ping you would have to KR
