Why is this game so demanding connection speed consistency?

So for you wireless users, go to cmd and type in ping+default gateway -t. you'll get a fairly good rate with a few spikes up to 100-1k ms. Now to fix that I put in netsh wlan set autoconfig enabled=no interface="Wireless Network Connection". What this does it when you're connected to your own home network, your wireless adapter won't go searching for other wireless networks closs to your home. Before I did this I would get consistent ms of 1-2ms with a spike up to 1k every 10 seconds or so. When I did this It would go down to 15 ms spikes, which is quite good for games over wireless.

That didn't stop leagues speed hungry connection though. In game I thought it would fix the issue, but no, a jump from 80-100 ms suddenly and my game freaks out. So I had to quickly switch to my mobile 4g over tethering for that game.

Is there ever going to be a fix to this issue? I understand if you spike to 1k ms in game how that would affect it, but a small increase momentarily in ms by 20 and your champion just stops in place for like 2 seconds? In league every second counts.

20 ms is not making your character freeze, you're experiencing packet loss

Wifi is heavily unreliable and I have to play on that shit in my current situation and I hate it, test your internet every time and it still won't prevent it from just derping along the way for seemingly no reason.

Its most likely your Wifi dropping data packets or bandwidth or your ISP having issues and not League causing your issues. Like a 20 ms spike is about .2s of delay so if you're freezing its a data drop your ms isn't picking up. You'd probably see this in other games too.

The fix is a powerline adapter kit if you don't want to run a 100 foot ethernet cable through your house,there are no drops at all while using one inside a well built house with good wiring.

Honestly, I've never had any issues playing on WiFi (assuming I'm the only one on the connection and I've ensured background applications aren't uploading/downloading data).
