The new client is making my ping really unstable going from 40(legacy client) to 100-150( new alpha client)! Help me please (I'm on EU-NE and i have a really good internet connection)

The client update only effects the client, not the window that is in use during the game or load in lobby. Your ping should not be effected, this is a personal problem with your computer most likely.

Then it's a fluke.

The new client is as related to your ping as your car's interior is related to your car's fuel efficiency. Your web browser being open has a bigger impact on your ping than which client you use.

The new client leaves your client open and running while you play the game, which uses some of your internet. In my case if I back out of game and close the client and just play the game the ping goes back down to 70 so its something to do with the client running in the background, which is something the old client didn't do, it would minimize it and only have one tasking open which was your game window. New client has 3 tasks open all using the same amount of internet. Which could be the problem for people
