LoL players are still wondering why this feature still hasn’t appeared in the client
The League of Legends community is surprised that Riot hasn’t added a feature that players have been asking for a while.
Most LoL players (and multiplayer games in general) experienced minor problems with the internet at least once. These types of faults can effectively spoil the joy of the match, and in worse cases even contribute to a loss, because playing with ping jumps certainly doesn’t make the game easier.
A lot of people who know they don’t have a very good internet check their connection status during games with bots or in non-standard gameplay. The League of Legends community has long asked Riot to provide the client with the ability to check ping without entering the match. Unfortunately, after many years such a function has not appeared in LoL.
Displaying ping in the LoL client
A player with the nickname MasterBaroch raised the issue of ping-checking in the game client, although, of course, he is not the first person to mention something like it. As you can guess, previous community requests did not help, so the ping issue in the client comes back regularly. The player wrote:
Why doesn’t the client have a feature that tells you whenever your ping is high when you try to queue up for a game? A feature like that would be so useful since it occurs so many times that I try to start a game and end up so frustrated because I just cant play for the high ping. Instead of just checking on external sites every time i want to start a game, it would be easy to just be alerted whether you want to start a game with a high ping. It would also be easy to implement so I’m just wondering why it wasn’t done before.
People commenting in the thread agreed that such a feature should have appeared in the client a long time ago, but players shouldn’t count on Riot suddenly listening to players and introducing it anytime soon. Some people joke that the devs are unable to deal with the current bugs in changes that they introduced voluntarily, so adding something at the request of fans would only increase the number of bugs.
