Ever since patch 5.2 came into play yesterday. My ping that was a decent 70-80 is now at a 100+. I'm wondering if its just me or is there anyone else having the same problems. Now of course I took action on my own to see if i can reduce and make the ping work for me such has restarting my internet, changing the password to my internet connection making sure I'm the only in the household using it, no downloads are going on while I'm in game and also but calling into my internet provider which they assure me there is nothing wrong with my internet. So now i turn to you riot maybe you have a answer for me why did my ping go from 70ish now to a 100+ I can barely dodge incoming skillshots and my game play has become worst. I've also lost a few LP for this bad lag reaction spikes during games. Please riot help

Same has been happening to me ever since 5.2.... it's as if the upload to the server is working fine but my download chokes out for like at least 10 seconds of every minute, and it's obviously server cause my ping stays at 15 and I have 100mbps internet that never lags. - i'm on a windows 7 pc on a lower end computer but I never had this issue until 5.2.

Hi, I am from Tijuana, Mexico. When I first started playing I had 15 ping, when the servers moved it increased to 46, it was still playable. Now, I have around a month with 100+ ping static, and even sometimes will go up to 170-190, it is getting really annoying, I even sent a ticket doing everything they said, but it could not be fixed; they said it was a ISP problem, but the fact is that in the LAN server I still have 80 ping since it came out, when I had 46 on NA, in the PBE I still have 19 ping. So, I want to know if it is really a ISP problem or riot is doing something with their servers that is affecting some players. I have another friend that is being affected by this, and he's from CA. Hope we can get an answer.
