Character not responding

Dawnwolf998·3/18/2015, 6:17:12 PM·19 votes·2,006 views

The last game I was playing my character was not responding to my clicks. When I was right clicking to cs or to move around my character was not responding at all, it was also happening with all my abilities. I was watching my ping and fps and both were in the normal range 70-80 ping and 60-80 fps. Not once did my ping of fps drop when my character was not responding. I ended up tabbing out and closing windows I had open and ending processes that were running in the background. Neither of these things did anything so I ended up restarting league. Once i got back into my game everything seemed fine and I did not have any more problems with it. In that same game though my top laner was also complaining about the same issue i was having which ended up reminding me that this was not the first time this had happened, the other night i was experiencing this problem for one or two minuted before it went away. I came onto the forums to see if anyone else was having a similar problem and if so how long has it been happening for you.

There have been times, especially in ARAM where this has happened.
I was playing swain and was gonna "swain burst" the enemy Vayne but instead swain in normal human form just walked straight over to her and died. I wasnt silenced, surpressed, or anything that stops my commands.

Happened the same to me, my trist just wouldnt move or delay like 5 secs before acting and couldnt spo her after she started, making me dive to the enemy team turret in howling abyss, mates cait, akali, gnar and lux, enemies: sona, soraka, zed, nidale and heimerdinger

Happened to my game as well, with one person on each side (myself included) couldn't move for extended periods but could see everything going on around us

Do you happen to be using any Logitech devices (eg logitech headphones, keyboard or mouse)? Some time ago there was a reddit post saying how these may be causing in-game issues.

My teammates and some people on the other team had this issue as well, it seemed like the game was lagging but no-one had a ping increase. Good old bugs in ranked games.

Happened to me for the first time last night when I was using Shyana. Created a post already before seeing this thread.

This happens to me, as well, on rare occasions. 90% of the time, I'll get "attempting to reconnect." 10%, it's like nothing ever happened. In both instances, however, I have observed my ping shooting up from 100 to 500-1000 immediately after (not during the loss of control,) and then shoot right back down.

Perhaps the ingame ping meter is displaying incorrect information in these instances. I would attempt to find another way to gather data about your connection if you're encountering this frequently. Unfortunately, I don't know any programs off the top of my head, but perhaps someone else does?

Additionally, I would try closing any programs like antivirus software or anything that automatically downloads files before playing, just to see if something's interfering with your connection.

I'd imagine there must be some kind of program which monitors a programs' bandwidth usage. The easiest method my novice mind can devise is playing a custom game in windowed mode (if LoL allows custom window sizes; frankly, I don't even know) and viewing Resource Monitor (a utility packed with Windows) alongside it. You might find a process using a large amount of data when you encounter this problem. Maybe it will even be LoL itself. But I feel like this would be a simple way to narrow down the issue. Just an idea.

Well i don't really think that i have the same problem, but i seem too some times have a problem with the game when started my ping raises from 39-42 to 48 and above, this is completely random and i just keep glitching around the lane (sliding forward and backward). As i mentioned this happens at completely random games but the most recent one was when i was playing with Draven. My abilities seemed to not react on press, there was a slight to a massive delay from when i press the button and when the actual ability activates which is from about 3 to 10 seconds. I've tried everything from leaving then reconnecting to even restarting my computed mid-game (our team was ahead so that didn't impact the game too hard). Sometimes even after a large teamfight i was just standing in the middle of bottom side river and getting the ''Attempting to reconnect'' box flashing on the top of my screen, i saw my champion autoattack the enemy champion but i couldn't do anything about it. It seemed like i could still type in chat while the ''Attempting to reconnect'' box was there, but still i couldn't react to any enemy move/attack or even send commands trough the ping, also the chat had a slight delay whilst everything was fine.
