Disconnection issues with Windows 7 - I am sure this is a bug

A lot of people have been having this problem starting from the past couple of days. Around 15-25 minutes into a game I start lagging and get "Attempting to Reconnect." It stays like this for the rest of the game on the same thing you were viewing (so if you died you wouldn't know it, everyone would be just standing still) unless you leave the game and rejoin. In the loading screen however the ping is just fine and when you rejoin everything is just fine. But after another 5 minutes (some people are having it happen again as low as after 30 seconds) the same problem comes up and you must leave the game again. This is causing me to lose numerous amounts of games

I am pretty sure that this is a bug and not a server connection issue or a problem with my internet. I know this because my internet browser is unaffected when I get "Attempting to Reconnect," and I duo queue with my brother under the same internet, and he has no problems whatsoever.

I read around and many people are having my same exact problem, and they are also using Windows 7. This problem happens practically every other game, and started a few days ago (I think around patch 4.17). I am not the first person to post this problem on the forums. Riot help us!

I Just started having this problem today as well. I also know its not my internet since I'll be in a skype call when it happens and everyone can still hear me and If i ALT+TAB then my internet still works the only thing that fixes it for a bit is when i reconnect. My ping will skyrocket to around 1000+ then stay at a steady 500 when this happens.

Also having this problem. it says "attempting to reconnect" and i never reconnect. I do the ping command by opening CMD and typing 216.52.241.254 -t to check my ping, and its at perfect 80. I also lost two ranked matches because of this.

Same issue since 4.15, 4 straight leaverbuster bans. I've already sent a ticket but the "fixes" (a copy-paste from the support forums which i've done many times) didn't fix it. League it's unplayable. Guess there's always Dota 2.
