DarkRitual1 votesHow many devices on the internet connection?
There's literally a thousand different things that can cause ping to increase, so it's hard to tell off the bat.
How's your ping to other websites/services? Is it constantly good, or do those spike as well?
Pingus Bow1 votestwo computers, and 3 phones
KaRniVooL131 voteslol all of those are spilting the bandwith meaning the speed is divided among the devices if one of them is streaming something like net flix. a video game online it is gonna hog majority of it... and if you try to log on as well you are getting short end of stick
Pingus Bow1 votesi just played battlefield 3 with no problem. im on a laptop but its got an i7, geforce 920m, 2.5ghz , 12gb ram. im going to try ips? could be that. ill keep trying things
KaRniVooL131 votesever think it could be your ISP? and not your hardware?
Pingus Bow1 votestrue, what could i do to potentiollay fix that? because when go back home to my place it works fine but since ive been at my parents its been weird.
KaRniVooL131 voteswell there may be alot of devices on the wifi for one... phones, tablets , cable box, satelite box, comptures, game systems ect they all will split the bandwith
are people streaming netflix? etc
maybe you just have to spend the holiday with fam instead of on league
KaRniVooL131 votestry finding an ether net cable and hardwiring your laptop to see if it goes away

He mentions that his brother has normal ping, so assuming they're both using the same provider and router, that may not be the case.

KaRniVooL131 votesso he says more then one device is on the wifi?

Maximum Morde1 votesSounds like wifi to me. Wired lines only for gaming.
KaRniVooL131 votestypically this is true.. and always 100% better but i play wifi and i have constant 43ms but i have 100mbps connection
SGT Dingle Berry1 votesCheck the drivers for your nic card/wireless card and graphics card. Also check to make sure you're not downloading updates in the background like Windows 10 loves to do. It's not a game issue unless you have max settings on a dell laptop and even then your MS shouldn't be effected all that much, just FPS.
DarkAngel137771 votesI have been getting 4000-7000+MS and constant disconnects this entire weekend! I have a perfect connection to the internet (128MBS) that has not disconnected even once, no problems with any other game or doing anything else (just League of Legends), there are not other things running on my wifi while attempting to play, I have ran the Hextech Repair Tool, cleared all cache/history/etc, ran defrag/disc cleanup, and everything that can be done possibly on my end. One thing I have noticed is that if you EVER complain to customer service or support it is NEVER Riot's fault (that is of course after getting continuous bot messages that you have to respond to before talking to an actual person). Soooo guess I will be taking all that money I spent here and find somewhere else to spend it.
