LoL Ping Checker

One of the most important things about playing online games is your internet connection. A good connection won't necessarily make you a better player, but it will help provide a smooth gameplay experience, which is something that can at least give you all you need to get better at the game.

Though mainly designed for League of Legends, LoL Ping Checker is a tool that can be used for just about anything. Users will be able to ping the servers of the main League regions, as well as Google, all with the click of a button. The interface can then be hidden to show only the ping readings, which can be moved anywhere on your desktop.

This is a ping testing utility, and for the best results, users will have to pick an appropriate server for their location. It comes in a portable form, so there's no installation to go through.To get the most accurate latency, pick the League server closest to your location. If you happen to play on a different region, then it's worth testing that one.

The program will then begin pinging the relevant server, providing data about your latency in a small graph of sorts. Users can hide the interface and reposition the graph anywhere on their desktop, and even use it as an overlay in some borderless game windows.

Users will also be able to ping Google through this tool, and if that's not what you're looking for, another option is pinging a custom server. All you'll need to do is input its IP, and the tool will be able to check your latency that way.

You're also able to modify some visuals. You can change the ping quality colors, as well as choose to use lines instead of points for the visual representations of your latency.

Though the app also provides information about your latency via System Tray, we found the text to be rather illegible, and there seems to be no way to change that.

Users who wish to test their network stability before hopping into an online game can use LoL Ping Checker to ensure that everything is ready. The tool is quite easy to use, and is straightforward enough that any type of user can utilize it.
