Check NA, EUW, EUNE, KR and more — find the lowest latency server before you queue","In League of Legends, high ping doesn't just feel bad — it costs you games. A delayed ability cast, a missed flash, a slow reaction to a gank. Even 80ms can be the difference between a clean outplay and a death screen. This guide covers how to test your ping to LoL servers, what numbers are acceptable, and how to fix high latency.\n\n---\n\n## Test Your Ping to LoL Servers\n\nCheck your current latency to all League of Legends server regions instantly with the **[LoL Ping Test on netvizor.app](https://netvizor.app/tools/lol-ping-test)**. It measures your ping to every Riot Games data center — no download required, runs directly in your browser.\n\nUse it before queuing to:\n- Find which server region gives you the lowest latency right now\n- Check if Riot's servers are having issues before blaming your connection\n- Compare NA, EUW, EUNE, KR, and other region ping in one view\n\n---\n\n## What Is a Good Ping for League of Legends?\n\n| Ping | Rating | What It Feels Like |\n|------|--------|--------------------|\n| \u003C 30 ms | Excellent | Instant response, abilities feel snappy |\n| 30–60 ms | Good | Smooth gameplay, no impact on mechanics |\n| 60–100 ms | Acceptable | Slight delay, noticeable on fast combos |\n| 100–150 ms | Poor | Abilities and flashes feel delayed |\n| > 150 ms | Critical | Rubberbanding, abilities firing late |\n\nLoL runs at a 30Hz server tick rate — lower than shooters like Valorant or CS2. This means League is slightly more forgiving with ping than FPS games, but consistent latency above 100ms will noticeably affect your gameplay.\n\n---\n\n## How to Check Ping In-Game\n\nLeague of Legends shows ping in two places:\n\n**During champion select or in-game:**\nPress **Ctrl + F** to toggle the FPS and ping display in the top right corner of the screen. This shows your current latency in real time.\n\n**In the settings:**\nGo to **Settings → Interface → Display FPS and Ping** and enable the option to always show network stats.\n\nFor a pre-game check across all regions, use the **[LoL Ping Test on netvizor.app](https://netvizor.app/tools/lol-ping-test)** — especially useful if you're wondering whether to queue on a different server.\n\n---\n\n## League of Legends Server Regions\n\nRiot operates dedicated servers for each region. Your account is locked to one region, but you can transfer via the Riot store.\n\n| Region | Server | Typical Ping (from EU) |\n|--------|--------|------------------------|\n| EUW | Amsterdam / Frankfurt | 10–35 ms |\n| EUNE | Frankfurt | 20–45 ms |\n| NA | Chicago / Los Angeles | 110–140 ms |\n| KR | Seoul | 240–270 ms |\n| BR | São Paulo | 190–220 ms |\n| LAN | Miami | 140–170 ms |\n| OCE | Sydney | 280–320 ms |\n| TR | Istanbul | 40–70 ms |\n| RU | Moscow | 30–60 ms |\n| JP | Tokyo | 240–270 ms |\n\nIf you're on EUW but getting 120ms ping consistently, the issue is likely your ISP's routing to Riot's Amsterdam servers — run a **[traceroute on netvizor.app](https://netvizor.app/tools/traceroute)** to identify where the delay happens.\n\n---\n\n## Why Is My LoL Ping High?\n\n### WiFi Instability\nThe most common culprit. WiFi introduces jitter — random latency spikes that hit you at the worst moments: flashing over a wall, dodging a skillshot. Even a strong WiFi signal can spike to 200ms during interference. Switch to Ethernet for stable, consistent ping.\n\n### Riot Client Background Downloads\nThe Riot client downloads patches in the background even when you're in-game. Pause all downloads in the Riot launcher before starting a session.\n\n### ISP Routing to Riot Servers\nYour connection speed might be fine, but the route your ISP takes to reach Riot's data centers can be inefficient — adding 30–80ms of unnecessary latency. Run a **[traceroute on netvizor.app](https://netvizor.app/tools/traceroute)** to your LoL server IP to find where the delay builds up.\n\n### VPN Active\nMost VPNs add latency. Disable any VPN before playing unless you specifically use one to route around a bad ISP path — in that case, compare results with the **[LoL Ping Test](https://netvizor.app/tools/lol-ping-test)** before and after.\n\n### Wrong DNS Server\nSlow DNS resolution can add a few milliseconds at the start of each connection. Switch to **1.1.1.1** (Cloudflare) or **8.8.8.8** (Google) for faster lookups.\n\n---\n\n## How to Fix High Ping in League of Legends\n\n**Step-by-step, most impactful first:**\n\n1. **Use Ethernet** — single biggest improvement, eliminates WiFi jitter entirely\n2. **Pause Riot client downloads** — stop background updates before queuing\n3. **Close bandwidth-heavy apps** — Discord screen share, Twitch stream, YouTube\n4. **Set Windows Power Plan to High Performance** — prevents CPU throttling\n5. **Update network drivers** — especially after Windows updates\n6. **Change DNS to 1.1.1.1** — minor but free improvement\n7. **Enable QoS on your router** — prioritize gaming traffic over other devices\n8. **Disable Hextech animations** — doesn't affect ping directly but improves client performance\n\n---\n\n## NA Server Ping: Why EU Players Have High Ping on NA\n\nA common situation — EU players queuing on NA servers (to play with friends or during off-hours) experience 110–150ms ping. This is expected: the physical distance between EU and NA data centers adds unavoidable latency regardless of your connection quality.\n\nThe **[LoL Ping Test on netvizor.app](https://netvizor.app/tools/lol-ping-test)** shows your ping to both EUW and NA servers simultaneously — so you can immediately see the difference and decide whether NA is playable for you.\n\n---\n\n## Ping Spikes vs High Constant Ping\n\nThese are different problems with different solutions:\n\n**Constant high ping** (always 120ms+) — usually ISP routing issue or wrong region. Check with traceroute.\n\n**Ping spikes** (jumps from 40ms to 300ms randomly) — usually WiFi interference, background downloads, or a congested router. Switch to Ethernet and close background apps.\n\nIf spikes persist on Ethernet, run a **[ping test on netvizor.app](https://netvizor.app/tools/ping)** to your LoL server IP over several minutes and watch for packet loss — any loss above 0% will cause spikes in-game.\n\n---\n\n## Frequently Asked Questions\n\n**Why does my ping show differently in-game vs in the client lobby?**\nThe client lobby connects to a different server than the actual game server. Once a match starts, you connect to the dedicated game server which may have slightly different routing.\n\n**Does using a gaming VPN help with LoL ping?**\nOccasionally yes — if your ISP has poor routing to Riot's servers. But in most cases, a VPN adds latency. Always test with the **[LoL Ping Test](https://netvizor.app/tools/lol-ping-test)** before and after to compare.\n\n**Why is my ping fine in other games but high in LoL?**\nDifferent games use different server locations and protocols. Riot's servers in your region might be routed differently than the servers of other games. A traceroute will show you the exact path — run it from **[netvizor.app](https://netvizor.app/tools/traceroute)**.\n\n**Can I play on a different LoL region without transferring my account?**\nNo — your account is tied to a region. You can create a new account on any region for free, but ranked progress and champions don't transfer without a paid region transfer.\n\n---\n\n## Summary\n\nGood ping for League of Legends is under 60ms. Above 100ms and you'll start missing skill shots and flashes that should have worked. Start with an Ethernet cable. If ping is still high, run the **[LoL Ping Test on netvizor.app](https://netvizor.app/tools/lol-ping-test)** to check all regions, then use **[traceroute](https://netvizor.app/tools/traceroute)** to find exactly where the delay is coming from.","https://cdn.netvizor.app/uploads/images/mnjciyr8-9a49754e72aeb2b41d80e30c.webp","guide",[14,15,16],"gaming","league of legends","network tools","league of legends, test ping, high latency, fix ping, LoL servers","NetVizor Team",true,"2026-04-03T20:18:25.025Z",null,"2026-04-03T20:18:25.029Z",0,[25,40,53],{"_id":26,"slug":27,"locale":7,"title":28,"excerpt":29,"coverImage":30,"category":12,"tags":31,"seoKeywords":35,"author":18,"published":19,"publishedAt":36,"createdAt":37,"updatedAt":38,"__v":23,"indexNowAt":39},"69cc3c89e56a405086ac0f99","rainbow-six-siege-ping-test-how-to-check-and-fix-high-ping","Rainbow Six Siege Ping Test: How to Check and Fix High Ping","Test your ping to Rainbow Six Siege servers instantly.
