I'm having the same issue as well, here's the information I got from this new patch that makes my game run slow. TLDR at the bottom. Pardon any spelling or grammar errors but I tried to get as much of the problem I'm having down as possible.
- I live in Michigan and my average ping is 70-100 when loading in and around 75 when playing and 120 in team fights (4+ in a fight). But since the new patch update to 5.5 I can BARELY play league. I have to set all my settings from Low to Very Low because if it's on low the game freezes every 4 minutes. If someone that has a lot of particles (ex:
) my ping skyrockets and if Bard or Sion is on the enemy team or in game I can barely play as Sion lags me to death (literally) and Bard's tunnel lags upon entering it. My ping as of this new patch is always at 65 or 72 and only changes when I'm loading in or lag out. It *doesn't show the right ping *and says my Frame rate is ok but it's not when I can't see anyone doing anything cause the game freezes in a team fight.
I could play with my settings on low before this update. My computer is a laptop that is 2 years old Acer, and has good internet access even when my brother is downloading stuff. It's worked fine until the 5.5 update, after that my laptop has a hard time loading the launcher. The lag at the start of the game always has been there bu normally goes away by the 1 minute or 3 minute mark. But since this update the lag lasts until around 8 minute mark and comes and goes at random.
- The game is super laggy I can barely type to my husband while playing because the chat log is so long that I could finish it and hit enter and the ENTIRE thing freezes. Same with moving, or auto attacking or anything in general unless the ping desires to stabilize. It lags and though my ping says it's 75 it freezes and when it starts to work again the** ping is at 500+. The highest it went was 15,000** When Sion ults or exists in the game itself.
Every. Single. Game. with
I lag, be him Top or jungle every time he uses his cleaver ground slam I lag, and get 4x stunned and cant do anything because of the laggy input for commands. He ults, everything freezes and I cant really do anything until he stops; **IF **I'm lucky I don't freeze but lag crapless as he chases my team mates down and I run from the fight that we coulda won IF I WASN'T LAGGING.
I played two ARAMS to test my stuff, settings, interface, etc, and that's how I found out lowering the settings helped a little bit. Instead of lagging 14 times a game and DC'ing 2 times a game or so I only lagged 3 times.
TLDR:
- Try Lowering your settings to Very Low
Avoid Sion (if he lags the game for you like he does for me)
- Check internet usage like if a sibling is using the internet
- Sometimes Bard's tunnel lags when entering it
Have you seen any champs like Sion where if they're on the enemy team or in game you lag a lot since the new patch?
Sorry for the long post I just wanna see if anyone else has this.
