[NEW] 5.15 Patch Lag

VaIhaIla·8/5/2015, 5:29:21 PM·21 votes·6,496 views

Is anyone else lagging from this patch? It's never happened before but it freezes from time to time. I even lowered all the graphics down to [very low]. Same problem. Any fixes?

This is beyond ridiculous. Even though I can decimate a Darius with nearly 400 ping, I still can't play like this.

Im gettting the same micro lag. I have 55ms ping, DL speed is 25mbs and I am still getting some sort of weird lag. When I am fighting other champs it seems to happen more. I've never lagged before in this game, been playing almost 2 years

I have the same lag as everyone else here. Average ping of 44ms, download capacity of 100+mbps. Never experienced this kind of lag before, or any for that matter. Any other game I play besides lol has 0 lag.

I've had the exact same problem I just micro lag. I stop playing because of it .

I am having the same issue. I have tried relogging and restarting my computer to no avail. It seems that every few seconds, the game just freezes on my screen but I am still able to control my champion and just unable to see what I am doing. My ping is 45 ms ping and 75mb/s download speed, and it has affected all three games I have played today. I would really like a solution as this makes the game simply unplayable.

Yup time to give league a break for however long. I know Riots doing their best, but kinda sucks when some kind of issue happens every other patch :\

Me too, even got leaver buster because i got dc'ed mid game and couldn't get back in. Funny thing is i played league at 200-500 ping, while i had planetside 2 running on my ps4 and was getting 55-75 ping on there.

Been having the same issue, i play on around 80-90 usually and then at random times in game it would spike to 200-300+ it went so far as to go up to 9000 once i kid you not and i swear I don't play from mars, internet works just fine all over my house as well at full speed and no one is downloading anything. send help....

RIOT, can you please fix the lag issues? I am outside of Boston and before the 5.15 patch my ping was 75-150 and for the past 4 days it's been over 400 constantly and lagging horribly. I've lost nearly every game I've played and this is the only time I have had bad issues in the past 2+ years of playing. Literally nothing at all has changed on my PC, network or hardware settings. In fact I have even lowered my audio and video settings and nothing has improved. Please fix this lag issue. It's killing me and everyone else.

Yes, Days now of this lag.

Well I had a lot of lagspikes even before this patch, but yeah they're still here. :I

Hey guys, french player here. Just so ya know, we got the same shit here in Europe as well, getting " Attempting to reconnect" every once in a while, when teamfight is about to go apeshit, or when there is too much minions :'(. sometime, everything is fine then the ping skyrocket over 9000 lol. Quite annoying to get disconnected , then report and earn leavebuster thingy :'(.

Got demoted from Gold 4 to silver 5 and got 20min of waiting to do everytime i want to launch a game :'( . Time to get back to pokemon with an emulator i guess... Of course, that is aside my trolling awesomeness !

AlzheimerCat8/11/2015, 2:26:00 PM1 votes

i usually play with 60 fps and 60 ping, now after this patch my game drops to 0 fps and just freezes until the game ends... i can't play now :(

Kuzu Ryu Sen8/11/2015, 11:30:11 PM1 votes

I'm also having similar issues. It seems that every 3rd or 4th patch rito F#&$ something up and this type of lag occurs.

Basically it's a 'rubberbanding' type of effect where some of the systems in the game seem to freeze or cease functioning, but not all. For instance, when the lag occurs, all minions and champions will appear frozen or will simply not appear at all (including jungle camps appearing to not spawn, even though I can see them on my minimap). However, during this time I can see my health bar going up or down and can click to cast spells or autoattacks (assuming the target is visible). This will occur for about 5 to 25 seconds and then afterwards, everything that occurred during that time span will suddenly 'rubberband' and quickly snap back to the way they should be in super speed.

This problem has occurred for me about 4 different patches out of the last 16 or so patches. This is chronic issue. Riot please fix this ASAP or at least let us know you are aware of it in the meantime. I've been playing and loving League for 4 years, but I am disheartened that these issues are still occurring with regularity.

same here, i cant even play the game now because of this :(

Zohayb8/19/2015, 11:07:16 PM1 votes

this is a serious problem to league of legends. ever since the 5.13 patch once i log into my account it always says disconnecting from PVP.net and then a few seconds later it reconnects and it repeats again. know when i am playing league of legends in the early 5 min of the game i am doing okay. But when ever i try to go close to some enemy or champion, it usually freezes or gets even slower. Riot please tell me a way to fix this problem and update this patch. and also i have windows 7, and my brother has a mac os x and his league of legends gameplay works good.

It's the same for me, I played Zed just now and couldn't do anything that could be called a "play" because every time i would W in the fight everything would just freeze for 1.5-2 seconds and i would be either dead or useless... it's frustrating... and it can't be my internet connection i mean i can download with 57-60 Mb per second on a pretty good PC but I can't play LoL at very low without having both fps drops and ms spikes.... pls fix this Riot

SpankDoctor8/5/2015, 11:12:54 PM1 votes

I had this problem a little bit before the patch, re-logged and it was gone. After this patch was implemented its absolutely unplayable and re-logging doesn't fix.

GamesForGumby8/5/2015, 11:22:52 PM1 votes

I also had the same problem

flufftuff8/6/2015, 12:08:48 AM1 votes

Nice Guy Senpai8/6/2015, 3:40:11 AM1 votes

Same here, Horrible lag, and the client is lagging. I get about 486 FPS 22 MS and i play on best settings.... i normally never lag and im just..... freezing..... and not being able 2 play..... also 58mbps

Hellish Prophecy8/6/2015, 9:43:56 AM1 votes

Had this issue too sort of. I run around 100 ping anyway but I would constantly spike to 200-300 sometimes 400 ping randomly. I've gotten to team fights late and even tried to play Kat once (I AM SO SORRY FOR MY SIN) and ended up with more assists than the support because I couldn't actually grab kills. Just jump in and press R and freeze up usually.

Lugg8/6/2015, 10:45:06 PM1 votes

Lag has been stupid this patch. I have lagged out for 5 seconds(!) multiple times in fights so far this patch. This is with a 40-50 ping.
