Riot games have had South Africans playing all their games for many years. South Africans have to play on 160+ ping always. Be that on “League of Legends” or “VALORANT”. It’s hard for South Africans to have a good team playing a game when we have to predict absolutely everything.

Big YouTube’s and Streamers specifically Tyler1 complain about 60 ping playing on his own local server yet South Africans are forced to playing on ping 160+. 

It is hard to reach high ranks as a South African due to high ping. Pro players are scouted based on their rank and South Africans that have the skill are not being noticed. 

As a South African I feel given a fair chance many South Africans can prove their skill to compete with the best of the best.

Many people have tried to contact Riot about servers for South Africa and never get the chance. This petition is here to prove South Africans have a great player base and given the chance to reach ranks such as Challenger, Grand Masters or even Masters would just show the skill South Africans poses.
