Good Ping, Good FPS, Still Noticeable Lag In-game
As I attempted to win 3 out of my next 5 games for a promotion from bronze to silver, a bug happened. During champion select, immediately I noticed that the bans on the 6 champions were appearing after the timer was at 0. In other words, the person banning would not ban a champion until well after the time allotted to ban in my perspective. I thought of server lagg and continued to wait for my turn to pick a champion. When it came to my turn I clicked on a champion with around 10 seconds remaining. All the while, I was communicating with my support in chat to correlate a a good duo bot lane. When the timer to pick a champion reached 0, nothing happened for a while, then a few seconds after I was kicked from the lobby for not picking a champion. Confused, I checked my profile to see if it counted as a dodge for my series. It did! Still curious as to why I disconnected from lobby, I began another ranked game but I disconnected and reconnected my internet and rebooted my computer. When I got into champion select I immediately picked a champion and locked in. Again, the lagg issue from last lobby was apparent. Locking in got me to in-game, but I wish it hadn't.
When I spawned at fountain and did my usual sidestepping, I noticed a delay in the movement response of my character. I immediately asked everyone in /all chat if they were lagging, they replied no. Thinking it was a background program, I checked my processes in task manager and did not notice anything out of the ordinary. I was not streaming, videoing, or had any other program open besides league (promotion games are serious). I then checked my FPS and ping. This is where I started to wonder if it was on the server's end and not mine.
Throughout the game the same thing occurred. Everything was laggy and delayed. For example: cs gold animation pops up well after creep has died, players "skip" around without walking animation, pings on map are delayed from time created. Obvious factors in the game also occurred that displayed that lag was evident. I do not know if this is a server issue or what because I had 60 FPS with 70 PING the entire time while I lagged. The game was unplayable and frustrated me and my teammates (got reported for being a bad ADC because of the "server lag."
Can someone please explain to me what occurred here, why I didn't get a loss prevented, why there isn't an option after a game to report server issues rather than player behavior, and anyone else's similar experience with this issue?
