For the past couple of days I've been having horrendous packet loss problems and I don't know if it's Riot's servers or me. If anyone could shine light on this that'd be great. Lost a couple of ranked games due to this and honestly it's getting frustrating.
Alljoy1 votesYes, it's been happening with the occasional dc since Sunday.

Guess we can't eat scrubs together then.
Alljoy1 votesThat reminds me.
You said you'd added me?
But I never got it.
.. or am I confusing you for someone else.

Dear Riot,
I've been trying to add my best friend on league by the name of Ginnjii, but your packet loss won't even let me load up my own profile or the shop. Please fix the NA server.
Sincerely,
Packet-loss got me deranked.
Seems like I have no issues with profiles or shops though, just occasional packet loss spikes in game.
Let me try adding you instead.
Griefer1 votesTrying to put in a picture of how bad the packet loss is, but the file won't even go past 12% for a 3mb.
Pucking Purrfect1 votesSame here and it's Riot's servers. Not to mention store bug, PVP.net connection error etc. BS!
Griefer1 votesbump, want some confirmation from riot before i jump back into yoloq
Griefer1 voteslast bump for the night, hopefully it'll get better by tomorrow so i can hop back into ranked.

BakaBule1 votesI'm on a connection with 40Ping, but my last two games I've had 2k ping in game, the most I had ever gotten prior to this was 500 on a different WiFi, I play much more demanding games on this connection with no issues whatsoever, but I run league, and I cant take 2 steps without disconnecting.
Silents4291 votesYeah probably them, I am sure it will be fixed, it rarely happens for me.
Celeste Benal1 votesI find if I have my internet browser open while playing, it kills my ping. Huge random spikes.
Per Favore1 votesI haven't experienced anything lately. Wifi is notoriously bad for gaming though if you're on that. You could try one of those vpn's designed for gaming in case one of the hops on your connections way to riots servers is overloaded or busted. That happened to me once where I had a hop that was putting out literally 90-100% packet loss so I had to use a vpn
Griefer1 votesThanks for the feedback yall. I play on ethernet and I usually get 30ms tops.
It's frustrating because you can SEE yourself get killed in real time but you can't do anything about it.
SmokingPuffin1 votesThis particular problem means you have asymmetric packet shaping going on.
That is, when you send packets to Riot, it takes path A,B,C. Then when Riot sends them back to you, it goes though A, D, C.
The failure mode you're experiencing occurs when D is working fine, but B is overloaded. Call your ISP; you'll probably need to convince a tech something is wrong here, so get some logs that show the packet loss.
If that doesn't work, you can probably get relief from this issue by using a VPN service to reroute your packets through a specific city, which usually results in any asymmetry in routing going away. On the down side, this typically costs you both some money ($5 a month is a common price) and some ping (typically +5-10 ms), so it's better to talk to your ISP first and see if they can resolve the problem.
edit - Forgot a basic thing. Make sure you're not playing on a wifi connection. If, for some masochistic reason, you prefer to play on wifi, make sure to run diagnostics on wifi interference and get on the least noisy channel possible.
lDontLiftIcarry1 votesmy ISP got ddosed and so did my household a few times. Suggest people start reseting router/modem once a week.

Resetted my router and it helped. Still waiting a couple of days before ranked though.
lDontLiftIcarry1 votesall the major ISPs in NA are lazy fucks and won't tell their customers when they're having issues take it upon yourself to start up any game you usually play and if your ping seems off. Then reset your stuff restart computer. And if that doesn't work then its server side, completely out of your control.
Neo Cyrus1 votesYes, yes I have. My internet provider is Teksavvy selling Rogers Cable's service.
I forgot to mention I play directly wired and my connection is 45/4 with no pack loss or ping issues to ANYTHING but LoL. The issues are on their side since they temporarily disappeared after they did maintenance.
Griefer1 votesRioter plz.
Griefer1 votesBump, tried to play today and problem still persisted. I know it's coming from Riot because my internet works just fine, just League that's having issues.
InfamousMist1 votesYa same thing happens to me, contant packet loss throughout the game :/
