Currently, Riot Games is having to rebuild the entire physical server system for LoL Vietnam and will need several weeks to complete.
On the first day the League of Legends community experienced the Riot server, there were a lot of criticisms and laments around the problem of network transmission. The reason is that unlike the Garena server, the Riot server has a fairly high ping increase for many gamers.
Many gamers complain because they have to play League of Legends with higher ping than usual.
For example, some players with a ping of less than 10 (on the Garena server) have to play with a ping of 30-40 even close to 100 (on the Riot server). This affects quite a few gamers whether playing Summoner’s Rift, ARAM or TFT. In particular, if the situation lasts until the 2023 ranked season begins, it will probably have an even more serious impact.
But recently, a network engineer at Riot Games has corrected this issue with the gaming community in the SEA region as well as in Vietnam.
Fan asked: Do you know where the server is located? Ping is higher than I thought so I’m a bit curious about this…
Riot Korensky: In Hong Kong until the physical server is built in Vietnam in the next few weeks.
According to the wiki, the physical server of LoL Hong Kong is located in Taipei City (Taiwan), while the old physical server (by Garena) of LoL Vietnam is located in Ho Chi Minh City. HCM.
Accordingly, the high ping is not due to the poor quality of Riot’s new server in Vietnam, but because the Vietnamese League of Legends is temporarily using the Hong Kong server along with some other regions (for example, the Philippines). . So higher ping is inevitable at the moment. It is expected that in the next few weeks the network connection as well as the ping number will be “smoother” when the physical server LoL Vietnam is built by Riot.
As for the reason for having to build a new server in Vietnam, many fans think that Riot Games has “parted” Garena and ended the entire contract related to League of Legends, so Garena’s physical server (for League of Legends) will not be used by Riot. As a result, Riot Games had to build a completely new server system in Vietnam.
