That makes it the only shitty game that makes my ping shoot to 1000 for no reason... While I'm sitting on 1000 ping I can: roam the internet load a full movie in under 1 minute make skype calls play another shitty game that doesnt lag what so ever basically anything that requires internet These are never on when the lag starts but still work even tho league is 1000 ping

Yet no matter how amazing my internet may be guess what game still refuses to be played w/o lag Spent more time actually making league playable (setting up Qos,firewall exceptions, removing this, adding that) than i actually spend playing the game

o and dont get me started on the support ticket bs... they think you are handy and send you a link and automated message telling you to do stuff you explicitly stated you have done in the support ticket... well worth your time

You realize they HAVE to ask you those things, right? Have you ever worked tech support? Let me sum it up for you:

"How stupid do you think I am? Of course it's plugged i..." hangs up

not only did i send the link saying i have done all of these i listed them off under "I have done these things:"

i would rather phone my isp's tech support thats based in india then deal w/ riot support tickets again

You can download it here: https://signup.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/signup/index?realm_key=na Just make an account and then you will be asked if you want to download the game.

After that, I would prompt you to go here: http://www.timewarnercable.com/en/internet/internet-service-plans.html Just buy a package that is greater than the wally-world one you are using now, and you should be good to go :).

League??? Am I right?? Could just be your ISP. I seem to play fine with an allegedly worse internet than you.

It doesn't matter what you said you did. I'm going to ask again: Have YOU ever worked tech support? There's a reason you ask these questions, even to people that say they've taken steps. Most people simply have no idea how stupid they're being, and you'd be amazed how many times people still get their issue resolved on the first-round questions even though they've supposedly done it all already.

Riots summarized reply to people having internet issues: "Have you tried these things you have already told me you have done?" "Ok send me this info here is where to find it" "Can't find anything wrong it must be your isp because its not our fault, Phone your isp and complain to them"

ISP: "It's not an issue on our side must be them, try contacting riot support."

I just saved everyone a few hours Your welcome

setting up Qos

Which means you're using a wireless connection.

That seems to be the only consistent attribute amongst the people I've seen complain about the lag situation; anyone who is experiencing it and says what type of connection they're using always says they're using wireless.

Video streaming, and I would assume Skype falls under this, use UDP, which doesn't care at all about packet loss or errors within the packets. Simple browsing probably wouldn't exhibit the problem, as well.

If it was one or two or three people with the complaint, I'd agree. But, it's way more than that. The mega-thread on this issue already revealed that it can't possibly be ISP related, because it's affecting players located all over the world using a wide variety of ISPs.

Others have speculated that it has something to do with packet loss, that LoL handles packet loss very poorly as compared to other applications. That makes sense, in that wireless is more likely to suffer packet loss.

Alot of the services you list don't even check for packet loss; streaming movies certainly doesn't, and offhand I would assume skype calls don't, either. Simple browsing very likely won't be impacted by such a problem, as well.

There's very likely some settings you could tweak to improve/resolve it, but it's unlikely your router's default BIOS or your network adapter's default applet would allow you to do so.

Try playing with a wired connection, and see if that helps.

not playing wireless anymore went out of my way to switch it to a wired which solved nothing

Then QoS does nothing for you.

Keep reporting about the wired connection. If it's still persistent, then that's awful news.

Could just be your ISP.

The mega-thread has players all over the world using all sorts of ISPs complaining about the problem. It's extremely unlikely to be an ISP problem.
