I live in Florida and have had nothing but issues with servers. Recently they added servers in Atlanta and I believe Miami as well. This has been incredible. It's like playing a completely different game. Every once in a while it would connect me to a non-south east server, ping would double and the game would basically be unplayable again with hit reg, rubberbanding etc.

Apparently they changed how solo q works this patch. Rank disparity seems almost worse, but whatever. The major problem though is it's now routing me through non-south east servers almost every single game. Just as before I can get aces, 20-30 bombs on south east servers, but playing on these other serves is miserable and it's almost every game now.

At this point I would rather go back to playing against 5 stacks solo q. At least my shots register and people aren't just ferarri peeking teleporting everywhere. It's absolutely awful to play like this again.

Hopefully they can fix it to where you will still play on your local servers, but not against 5 stacks. I have played since beta, but I'm tired of dealing with server issues. I'm just going to quit unless they fix this.

EDIT: With the addition of deathmatch it's the same story, only worse. I have yet to play a game on my local servers. This often used to happen on spike rush and unrated prior to 1.05, but at least sometimes I would get a local server. At least these modes are unrated, but this is not fun at all and doesn't serve as a good warmup even, because it's just making me reluctant to take duels knowing it's hopeless.

I don't mind at all waiting as long as it takes during queue if I can just play in my own local servers, I'll even play a 5 stack solo. Please fix this Riot.
