Unstable internet sucks when trying to climb the ladder in League of legends. Losing Lp and getting flamed because of lag when it’s not your fault really sucks. Knowing your ping is crucial to winning games, milliseconds (ms) make all the difference in a team fight to alter it’s result. Our boosters always check to see if their ping is optimum to play on their orders, we never compromise our performance at any costs.

However, there are two ways in which you can check your ping before starting a ranked game in LoL.

 

Windows

Method 1:

The fastest and quickest method to check ping is to ping the LoL server directly. You can easily do this because Riot Games publicizes the IP address of some of their game servers.

To Ping League of Legends servers, open your command prompt and type (NA server):

❝   ping 104.160.131.3 -t  ❞

 

Once copied hit enter, you should see your ping to the server, e.g. time = 22ms. It will keep pinging indefinitely, to only ping 4 times omit the ‘-t’ part of the text above.

Note: You need to change the IP address to the server you play on, shown above by the italic numbers, these need to be changed to the corresponding server IP address. You can find them below.

 

After checking for ping stability, you should be set to play some ranked games. Even though the pings aren’t exact, they give you a rough estimate to how they will be in game.

Mac:

To Ping League of Legends servers on Mac, open terminal and type (NA server):

❝   ping 104.160.131.3 -t  ❞

 

Once copied hit enter, you should see your ping to the server, e.g. time = 22ms. It will keep pinging indefinitely, to only ping 4 times omit the ‘-t’ part of the text above.

Note: You need to change the IP address to the server you play on, shown above by the italic numbers, these need to be changed to the corresponding server IP address. You can find them above.

 

Method 2:

The second way you can check your ping is to load into a custom LoL game alone and check ping. Click around to see whether or not your ping is stable before entering your important ranked matches. If it feels you’re fine to play!
