Random FPS drops with no obvious cause

Today I started up League, jumped into a match and found out the game was UNPLAYABLE.

Here are the stats I normally see in game:

FPS: 250+ Ping: 80-95

Every few seconds, especially when my camera is not locked to my champion. The FPS will dip down first to 75, then to lower then 30 making everything glitch out and laggy. There is no reason for this, on the lowest settings my game goes above 350fps with no problems. On the highest (What I always run on) It's 250 solid. Big team fights might be able to drag it down to around 175 but that's the lowest I've ever seen it go.

First to disclaim a few things so I don't get useless replies:

  1. No, it's not a ping issue.

  2. No, it's not a hardware issue

  3. No, I'm not running some other program like Lolreplay that could cause glitches like it did in the last patch (Bringing peoples FPS down to like 1

  4. No I've never had this issue before

  5. Once again, NOT a hardware issue or ping issue

This is clearly a case of bad coding, or something going wrong in the games files cause this is not my computer doing this.

Update: Just used the repair function and it changes nothing.

this has been an extremely viral complaint and rito wont do anything about it cause ive seen quite a few summoners post about fps drops. especially since this patch. im going to say it is the coding but i am no computer genius, i am having simillar issues but i run on medium low.

So about an hour after my last post it fixed itself. (Either that, or the flash program I had running in the background was somehow causing this problem, which I doubt.

Thanks for the help Rito, wish you guys would do your job for once and fix a bug or two.

I have a similar powerful rig Colgate and I experience the same issue -- but only when kalista is in a game. Is this happening for all games or is it possible you are experiencing the same kalista glitch i am?
