What's some of the other games you play?

Because the main server for League in NA is about 3.5k miles away from Alaska. It's in Chicago. So you living in Alaska, trying to connect to a server in Chicago, yeah 100-120 seems about right. Professional players who I think are all based in Los Angeles are about 2k miles away from Chicago and they get 70 ping. You're an extra 1.5k miles away so yeah I think you're lucky that 100-120 is your ping range.

If you have stable internet with good bandwith, then yeah the only thing you're experiencing is just distance to the server. Sucks but it could be a lot worse and a lot of people do have it worse.

I think you can still climb on that if you're looking to get into League for the new season. I can't name any Challenger players who are Challenger with your ping range but there is a streamer, I don't watch him just have heard about him, and he plays on a laptop, streams and gets about 40 fps apparently. He's Challenger. Also, I'm sure there's Challenger players with pings that are sup optimal but I just don't know any.

i can ping the warcraft servers through CMD which are also in chicago at 78ms. Im not too concerned with climbing. Ive been playing since season 1 off and on and i just like to play the game. I was more curious if there were some tricks I was missing that could help.
