Character Skipping Since Patch, No Lag

Ever since the last patch characters (mine, and allies/enemies) will randomly skip locations, almost like the game client is out of sync by ~.5 second and occasionally has to "catch up" to update the actual position of champions. I'm 99% certain it's not latency/packet loss related as I'm keenly aware of what that looks like having dealt with it regularly before changing internet. This doesn't happen all the time, maybe once a minute or so? It seems either server side or something funky got changed with the game code. I would think if it were either of these it would be affecting more players, however, so I'm at a loss.

It is doing this on both ARAM and Rift.

Appreciate any help you could provide. Thanks!

EDIT: Skill cooldown timers are also appearing off. Was just playing Lux on ARAM and her ult instantly jumped from 6s cooldown remaining to immediately available. May be a separate bug, but I've gone a couple years now without seeing any significant bugs and now all of a sudden both appear right after a patch?

Happens to me sometimes. I had Nunu appear with his giant snowball out of thin air and kill me despite being in our jungle on the minimap. Ping is fine, internet is flawless. Been playing normally for 10 years.

Make sure movement prediction is turned off in your settings. It causes the exact bug you're talking about.
