Why do champions get stuck in place?

I can't be the only one that has notice all the bugs and glitches that have come forth with the most recent patch. From keys and mouse clicks refusing to register, to hilarious yet sometimes disturbing champion skin glitches (I once encountered a Winter Orianna that looked more like an upside down spider then an actual robot girl). But the thing that has happened the most to me is incredibly frustrating: Champions can sometimes get stuck in place. Sometimes, when I walk near walls my champion will just stay stuck there without moving while still doing the run animation. I keep thinking it might be my ping that's spiking, but no. It stays a solid 60 and I can see minions and other champs move around and use their skills perfectly fine.

I've missed kills and opportunities to go and aid my teammates in fights because of this glitch. Not just that but it also happens while you're looking at the map while jungling and you just waste a lot of time walking in place (it's only a few seconds at most but a few seconds can make a huge difference in this game).

So am I crazy here? Or is this an actual problem that needs to be fixed because it can be game breaking, however rare they might be.

Turret diving is a deathsentence right now with most melee champions.

You will literally stand in front of the turret while the AI considers which way he should go to get around the turret.

I have never hand this problem before. Like, ever.

I was just stuck as MF right in front of a tower, in my last match, being targetted..... clicked to run a thousand times, the click was registering because the green "plus sign" "you clicked to move" animation went off, but the character wouldn't actually move. No stun, no taunt, no snare, etc. Just stood there kept attacking the turret uselessly and died.

Pink was below two bars, don't remember the exact number.

I've had this issue multiple times today... The most memorable was when I got wedged between a minion wave and the enemy inhib as Nami. I kept clicking to move, but it didn't let me until I tried to walk the opposite direction of what I wanted to go in.

This is super annoying it happens so much >.< I'll follow/auto people under turrets with no control. or just lose the complete ability to move, i just sort of twerk in place like im trying to run through some invisible minions and then die.

I got stuck at the base on the Pad.. I had to log out and close the game. Just to get back in to the game and move out of it. Just to end up getting reported afk after someone told me to do it. We lost of course.

I got stuck running in place on the heal pack in an ARAM game, few secs later after being laughed at someone decided to sit on me and try to move me because of course you can't move through units, they got stuck too. xD few secs later though it gliched out again and we both randomly teleported a few feet away.

I've also gotton stuck once in the river near the wall and walking out of the spawn pad in the rift. Fun times..

Yeah it seems to be really bad lately. I've had a few occasions (and only really recently) where I'd press a spell key and it would do nothing (Zyra's WQ or WE not planting a seed before casting a spell, or Syndra QE not summoning a sphere before casting E)... not to mention having over 1000 ping on a game yesterday while, at the same time, my internet was running at 24 ping (I know because I checked during game)

Got my J4 stuck beside a wall for 2 seconds after I E-Q trying to reach an enemy, was out of range before I could ult him. Playing at a stable 26-46 ms, my friends saw it too and they laughed so it's not only on my part. One time with Riven, I dashed(E) beside a wall, and couldn't move after. And another is with Nidalee cougar form, jumping across a wall and right when i went through it (happens occasionally) i get dragged back to where I jumped from Skarner style.

I have this problem too... Any idea if that would be fixed? I can't play rankeds properly...
