[CRASH]DC&500 Ping spikes when I walk towards champions/minions

EK9·Oct 6, 2014·1 votes·12,000 views

My friend and I have been having this problem for a couple days now. Well enter a match and have a normal ping(95) for our area. Then within a few minutes of gameplay our ping will spike to EXACTLY 500 and well get the "Attempting to reconnect" in game message. We leave the game, and our champions walk back to base. We get back in and our ping is normal, once we get near a minion, monster, or another summoner the ping spike and disconnect happens again.

EDIT: I should also probably note that my internet connection is fine. I ran speed tests, visited other websites, and even streamed music with no problems.

At face value this looks like some kind of a individual problem you are having with either your ISP or hardware. It's not clear, but have you experienced this a handful of times, and only when walking towards champions / minions? Is anyone else experiencing the same thing? If this is not one of those kinds of things, then I think this may be a post more suited to Help & Support according to the Guidelines of this board.

Tamat, before like 10 minutes ago, I was playing league with no lag. Suddenly, in my second promo game, I start the game at 500 ping. It goes up to 1k. My internet is fine, everything else is fast. Except league. Please fix this. I just lost my promos because of this.

Can you move this to the correct area of discussion then? And I highly doubt its my ISP. Like I said, I can do other things on the internet with no problems. And the same exact problem is happening to a friend of mine. If he has the same ISP as me, I dont know.

Andrew, I suggest you look at the Help&support section.

I posted a thread with a similar problem. Usually if I'm getting lag it's in spikes but for the past 2 days at random points in the game my ping will shoot up to 400 and just stay there without fluctuation. At least once a game (usually at very inconvenient times) the game will just freeze at "Attempting to Reconnect". Each time I have to exit the game and reload it at which point my ping is back down to 70 or so. Every single game has been like this for the past 2 days and I've had other people on my team dc as well. My last ranked game we were stomping and 3 of us dc'd and it end up costing us the game.

Seems like someone hasn't seen the hundred other threads about this exact problem.

Rito staff trolling??? You reply to this thread about the "Attempting to reconnect" bug, but not to any of the other ones? There are plenty of threads addressing the issue in the correct area of the forums. GG I guess everyone has a bad ISP

I Happened to get a brand new pc and my ISP is fine but i still have this problem. I can play other games just fine and while league is open my skype works just fine and my music.

Nope nope nope - ITS YOUR FAULT! New PC? It must have defective parts. Internet working fine otherwise? It must be the ISP spying on you and they KNOW when you are playing LOL and they just want you to lose.

IT CANT BE RIOTS FAULT!!!!!! NEVAAAAAAR!!!!!

No, it's a problem that is affecting a lot of people. It seems that this has been a problem before and has now reappeared in 4.17.

Tamat I order you to get someone to answer the help and support boards about the recent lag issues we've all been having. That is all- your boss.

I have had this same issue for close to the last week. In my case, however, it has only been happening during Co-op vs. AI games. I was able to play 5 games (4 normals and 1 aram) with literally no issue at all RIGHT after the one game where I got disconnected twice. The timing for the disconnects seems entirely random, with no pattern in what causes them to occur. The game "plays out" around my champion but I have no control over champion actions for ~15-20 secs before the game stops entirely. This will happen at least once or twice during a 20-30 minute Co-op game as well. Please fix though cause it definitely is quite annoying!

This has happened to be also.

Mine only lasted for the games duration and afterwards went away and the following games could be played fine.

Originally I thought it was the servers because my ping was at 30-50ish range but it would give me the "Attempting to Reconnect" message while I was frozen, but I could see everyone else in the game moving around fine and using skills. (Not the usual d/c where people either stop moving or continue down their clicked path and then stop)

It's a very odd glitch/bug but it wasn't a problem on my end for sure.

Also if my memory serves correctly, after champion select the game crashed and it took me a few attempts to reconnect. It kept giving me the message that I couldn't connect to the server. Once I finally got in the game these problems started happening.

It's just weird how it was only for that specific games duration.

I've also had a similar problem these past couple of days. My ping has been abnormally high during loading, I'll be able to play for about 10 min, then my ping will skyrocket out of nowhere, then drop to 500 and leave my attempting to reconnect. I haven't changed anything to my computer/software recently, and it's only been a problem for the last week or so.

Elephant in the room... Drop hack... and I want to kill people... I want to seriously inflict a lot of pain on these people... it only happens against players on my team and the other team is completely fine... don't be arrogant and say this isn't a thing.. do a quick google search before you sound dumb.
