OK. I have worked in IT and understand that the easiest thing to do is to put the problem back onto the end-user, but how can my issue have been created with no change to my own configuration? This issue is not affecting everyone, some people have decent ping - others do not. If you search around - there are also threads on whirlpool regarding this same issue; Some people can ping 104.160.156.1 and get a reasonable response - all others get stuck at 203.54.189.30. The issue cannot be with the game server, it is a routing issue. My connection is stable with all other applications. ... View more

It is not normal. I am with iinet but I am following the same routing as discussed (same parent company) My ping is usally stable at ~66ms, but with LoL it is now at ~170ms - all other programs are not experiencing any issues.   See below:   Tracing route to 104.160.156.1 over a maximum of 30 hops 1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms 192.168.0.1 2 15 ms 14 ms 15 ms 150.101.32.131 3 15 ms 15 ms 15 ms 150.101.35.243 4 15 ms 14 ms 15 ms 150.101.34.171 5 15 ms 15 ms 15 ms 203.8.179.1 6 15 ms 15 ms 15 ms 165.228.23.133 7 15 ms 16 ms 15 ms 203.50.6.187 8 17 ms 16 ms 17 ms 203.50.6.188 9 44 ms 43 ms 43 ms 203.50.6.234 10 57 ms 98 ms 58 ms 203.50.6.231 11 66 ms 66 ms 68 ms 203.50.11.124 12 66 ms 65 ms 66 ms 203.50.11.177 13 159 ms 160 ms 160 ms 203.54.189.30 14 161 ms 160 ms 160 ms 104.160.143.184 15 160 ms 159 ms 160 ms 104.160.143.187 16 159 ms 160 ms 159 ms 104.160.156.1 Trace complete.   ----   Pinging rio3430665.lnk.telstra.net [203.54.189.30] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 203.54.189.30: bytes=32 time=160ms TTL=243 Reply from 203.54.189.30: bytes=32 time=160ms TTL=243 Reply from 203.54.189.30: bytes=32 time=160ms TTL=243 Reply from 203.54.189.30: bytes=32 time=160ms TTL=243 Ping statistics for 203.54.189.30: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 160ms, Maximum = 160ms, Average = 160ms   ---- ...
