I never have a high ping, it's always steady at 24ms, always. This game it spiked to 140ms, 2 times? Why did this happen? Caused me to lose my lane badly resulting in a lost game. My internet worked fine, tried watching a youtube video and it loaded as fast as it usually does..

2.) Run a ping test to the Riot server before you start a game. It only takes about a minute. Gaming connection strength isn't determined by "a youtube video"

I know, tried to move it afterwards.
I've already played 3-4 games today with no problems.
Kaioko1 votesConnection strength can change within a day... If you care about 140 ping spike then you need to run before every game. I would also play with an Ethernet connection and not over wifi.

I use Ethernet, and I've never worried about it before, as it has never happened before.
Kaioko1 votesWell there's nothing you can do about it -- there was nothing on Riot's servers end that caused your ping spike as they are pretty good about immediately disabling queues when that happens (like 2 nights ago).
The problem is on your end whether that be with your hardware, your ISP or even someone using your connection. I've offered a solution that uses a minute of your time before every game. If you're not willing to do it that's your own problem. I have never lagged in over my 3,000+ games in League in 8 years now and that has been because I've ran that test since the beginning (I have however lost power during a game that sucked but can't be predicted).

Wowow never said I wasn't willing to do it, will take it into consideration :)
Dysnomia1 votesI always play with 120-140ms ping. When i see posts like this i have to laugh.
whizkid751 votesWhy are you asking us? I understand it might be confusing/frustrating, but a ping spike that happened only TWICE in ONE game is not a cause for concern. No one can tell you what happened in that particular game. All you can do is try to test it before every game. I typically load a practice game real quick, but I still sometimes have issues. No rhyme or reason. Just Rito things. Sorry that happened though.
