Worse than gamebreaking lag

Randomly anywhere from 5 seconds to one minute after reconnecting to the game i was just in, I would be paralyzed in place, i could bring up the score board, could type but nothing would send, couldn't see anyone else typing either, just flat out unable to move like severe lag, but it never unstuck unless I closed the client and reconnected to game, no reconnecting dialogue box ever came up, like you used to see when just walking in a straight line for 99% of EUW games, just nothing

either someone found out how to ddos one player or there is something severely wrong as single players in a lot of games have been experiencing extreme lag in normal games below level 30 since yesterday

Sounds like packet loss. It'll be different from lag because data is not taking longer to get to you, it's just not arriving occasionally.

Check the Tech support post on Help & Support board and the Connection troubleshooting support article. If you are getting packet loss, it's probably somewhere between you and your ISP, not your ISP and Riot.

A quick way to see if you're experiencing packet loss is to ping a server. Open up your Command Prompt, and type "ping 8.8.8.8 -t" and hit enter. You can stop it by pressing Ctrl+C. Just look for gaps where packets aren't received; that is packet loss and is not good for gaming (typically not much noticed for internet browsing and watching videos other than live stream).

Use the repair archive or whatever it's called option. Takes awhile but works often. You may just have a currupt file or two. Happens.

Yes was just coming to say the same. I started game just now. Ping was fine until about level 3 then started going up between 300-500. Then spiked and "reconnect" once reconnected my ping shot to 2700 at one point. Then when towers down on all 3 lanes ping goes back to normal. Like magic...

This has been happening on and off now for a couple of weeks but last 2 days its the worst it has ever been.
