"lag spikes" after preseason update

There's something going on for some players that makes for some strange "lag spikes", for lack of a better term, in game. I have encountered other players that have experienced the same issue so I'm thinking this is client side. The details: 1- inability to move or act for a short period of time 2- the game may or may not stop around your character, I experience it as just me being unable to move, everything else around me is moving normally. 3- The spike make or may not be represented in your ping. For most people i talk to there is no change in ping when this is happening. A few others have experienced the same(ish) thing but with it showing in their ping, but that could be a normal spike.

Be sure to bump and/or comment with solutions if you're experiencing something similar or the same. Thanks!

I was experiencing major packet loss and high ping as proved by Traceroutes I sent to riot support. They suggested I call up my ISP, explain the issue and request someone to come check everything out. But that's just my case. Since then, I played around 5 games and never hit more than 40 ping.

If youre having problems download and install haste Esports accelerator and use its built in ping check to check your connection to Riot, blizzard, and steam.

If your ping to blizzard and steam is good but riots is bad AND you have no packet loss, then its a riot issue. If your ping is bad in general then its an ISP/hardware issue.

Your problem sounds like packet loss, though.

Has anyone had these issues of lately? I've been having the same issues since the preseason update. Sometimes it'll happen 3-6 times a game or it'll be once or twice a game. I've never had issues like this and have a constant 34 ping. I'm able to alt-tab out and search the internet just fine but my game will still be DCing, I'm hard-wired as well.

Having similar issues. Just straight lag spikes. Never encountered this in the last few years I've been playing the game. Usually occurs when someone engages a fight too. Screen just kind of freezes up/can't move even though everything else is. The ping will eventually show that it spiked, but I have no real good reason for this to start happening, other than it seem like since patch 8.0. Anyone found any solutions?
