Mysterious In Game Delay without ping spike or FPS drop

OK so this has happened to me now in my last 2 games. But I don't know what the hell is going on. My FPS stays a constant 60 FPS when in game and only drops when big teamfights happen. So I have noticed this weird delay that's about 1 second to 2 seconds, Sometimes even abilities don't work when I know I pressed them. And when I notice the delay im watching my screens FPS and Ping and neither move at all when this delay happens. It's random but constant through out the game session. This is extremely frustrating the delay even goes so far as to make champs and creeps invisible on screen.

If this is happening to anyone else I would like to know, and you should let Riot know so they can address the issue

Input lag could be your hardwares fault that wouldn't effect your frames or ping. Should test your ports and devices

It's just connectivity lag. If you are wireless then you will receive disruptions here and there... even some wired people get that too.. like when a storm is overhead. Because after all, lightning starts from the ground up... ha .. ha.. yeah. Uhm...

Ping increase means there is a connection blockage (but not a total disconnection) to the server you are connected to. It is the time it takes for any in-game command to reach the server and back to your computer.

FPS is the rate at which your frames come which is mainly reliant on your graphics card.

If you lose connection completely your ping won't move because the service that reads your ping has been cut off as well. If your ping is 3000 , LoL is still reading it. You haven't quite lost connection yet, but it's sure as heck a bad deal.

So I just think this is total loss of internet connection and then a swift reconnect. You won't get the "attempting to reconnect" box while in-game if you reconnect fast enough.
