Server Lag?

Dcolewizard·3/18/2015, 2:04:41 PM·76 votes·5,907 views

I was playing league today and my ping is great for my region, North East with a 65 ping. However I noticed that when playing (at the time it was bard on co-op vs AI) my movements seemed sparatic at times. I would click to follow a champion, click away to avoid turret but I kept going forward as if it didn't recognize I tried to click somewhere else, this happened repeatedly through the game. Anyone else experiencing this?

Yea getting it bad in like half the games I play. Doesn't matter what mode. Any kind of recognition of it on riots part would be nice but there isn't a lot of talk about it on reddit so I'm sure it'll be a whole before they notice it.

I just won my game but died multiple times being unable to move.

I would just stand still auto'ing and typing "I can't move" when my team would ping me back. Servers are jacked today

Yeahh it's been happening every game for me. I've talked to several other players in game who are experiencing the same thing. Had some problems a few patches ago with firewall error but it's been really smooth for the past few weeks so I can't complain.

My experience is like...normal (for me) 90-100 ping. However, about every 15-20s or when many animations are occurring simultaneously, it's like the frame gets stuck for a fraction of a second. Usually nothing that important is going on, I might miss a few cs, but when it happens in team fights its game breaking :/ I guess the recent patch brought something janky with it. Hopefully they are working on this

I've lost a lot of games because of it. The first time it happened it was in the middle of me taking Wolves. I had a ping of 53 but then I couldn't move where I wanted or cast abilities so I died. It cost me all of my topmost camps and ultimately the game.

I just was in a ranked game where all 10 players suffered from server stutter and the game was a complete wash because of it

I was really tempted by those cookies, but I felt it was paramount I relay my poor experience; the lag is real.

Was just playing a round of ARAM and most of my team had lag. I had ~60 fps and 63 ping and yet there was still input lag.

Just happened to me too.. All five on our side plus one on theirs said it was happening.

I just finished my first game today after a patch downloaded. Everyone in the game was lagging, but the worst always seemed to come when it mattered most. I was mid GP and wrecking a cass with my crit. Late game team fights 1. Lulu ulted me when we got their inhib turret, I froze for 20 secs and was not able to participate in the fight, sitting still in lane full health. 2. I TP in from pushing up bot lane to get the mid inhib, have my ult up. As soon as my champ appears mid from TP, I froze again and couldn't move or ult or W out of cc. We got wiped out. Either of these two fights would likely have ended in an ace for us, as we had all of us up and both fights were 5 v 4 with a Sion and Lulu and Leona on our side. Thanks Rito.

Im experiencing the same problem. My ping is steady around 40 as it usually is but there are these moments around 5-10 seconds of me being unable to issue a move command or use an ability. Really hoping they fix this soon.

GG Riot. Once again, your servers lag.

no loss prevented? lost two games in a row because of this. extremely frustrating

A notice saying there is horrendous lag would be nice right about now. Because this shit is old.

Tsumikiri3/18/2015, 6:42:49 PM2 votes

An hour ago a played a game and had absolutely no issues. Perfect ping. Perfect fps. Everything was great. Last game I had this input lag problem the entire game and it sucks so much. One of my friends also experienced the problem, but my other friend didn't. We all live in the same state, but we have different internet providers so that could be it.

ThiccPigeon3/18/2015, 6:43:51 PM2 votes

Still going on, just lost a ranked game for it, my **entire ** team had this problem where they would stop randomly or the champ wouldn't respond to movement clicks. We lost and NO loss prevention. Come on riot, at least throw a band-aid on this garbage lag to make up for the losses people are eating. Ping AND FPS were both perfectly fine might I add.

RedShifted3/18/2015, 6:51:39 PM2 votes

Hey i just lost a game as well, my ping stayed at 80 and my fps was fine. but my inputs weren't all being put in. so id go to auto someone, or a creep and then just continue to stand there autoing when ive already clicked to move backwards. I also had one death that i couldn't stop laughing about; i was top as ryze vs fiora hitting the tower. she comes up and i cant move away so she begins to auto me, "lucky" i got a w off on her and got some distance until i turned around for a good ol Q auto. Then i stood still and fought her in melee range.

I'm at 200 ping in a ranked game with a DC and probably won't receive loss forgiven :/

yes i lag

RyanJR19843/18/2015, 6:57:43 PM2 votes

So yeah, at least 2 people in my game were lagging without frame drops nor ping spikes. Most of these being at the exact same time. How is there not a warning message not to play ranked? This lag was frequent and unplayable.

Digezz3/18/2015, 6:59:25 PM2 votes

Lost a ranked here too. they need to give loss forgiven for this

Loss prevented is finally up but I haven't seen any comments on the situation.

mistadubble3/18/2015, 7:30:13 PM2 votes

I am on the East Coast and its been an issue for me since beginning of March. My normal ping has went from 100-110 ms to 120-130 ms, and I am consistently getting the, "Attempting to reconnect." I have a ticket open to see what information I can get. Hopefully we can get some form of an update relatively soon.

Oh The Humanatee3/18/2015, 9:43:07 PM2 votes

Just had a game where I rubber-banded around for periods of 3-20 seconds, getting worse as the game went on. Spent the final 4 minutes of the game unable to move, just jerking around the base.

Just to check, checked my ping (usual 91), opened a few youtube videos (which buffered normally in 1080p), and updated Facebook (instant refresh). Meanwhile, in League of Legends, Braum teleported around like URF Kassadin while eating siege minion hits.

I live on the west coast of BC, Canada. I have a stable 34/35 ping, but i can say that sometimes it rises in game.

The Grunzarvian3/18/2015, 10:01:50 PM2 votes

Why does it have to be a choice between voting "Yes" and "I came just for cookies"? Why not both? :P But in all seriousness, I am tired of having a (occasionally) non-responsive champ. Plz just let me control my own champ!

BuPhDwhuln3/18/2015, 10:12:37 PM2 votes

I moved my main account to EUWest and haven't regretted it once. About the same ping with higher stability overall.

I live on the border of EST to CST... and the servers designed for a country on the other side of the ocean serve me better than Riot's NA servers...

Dragovoid3/18/2015, 10:49:15 PM2 votes

Yeah I'm experiencing some sort of lag. Not my internet since I can stream HD videos smoothly and whatnot. In game I would have a small lag spike from 20 ping to 400-500 ping every few seconds. Super annoying.

Guess what? I got banned because of this lag.

I've been doing AI only because of this issue. I want to play PVP, but you know how mad ppl get when you die because you're just standing there there... My teammates were not understanding of this lagg and kept thinking I wanted to give free kills. :(( Plz fix this RIOT! I guess I will play guild wars 2 in the meantime because at least their PVP servers are working fine ...

A Miss Fortune3/18/2015, 4:49:23 PM2 votes

I played Caitlyn ADC, and had a Yi top. We both were sort of lagging, there was delays between pretty much everything despite me having only about 80 ping. 80 ping isn't the best but there's no lag at all, I would say around 150 is laggy-ish but at least bearable. I also had a constant 60 - 62 (I don't know why it went up to 62 randomly) FPS.

Anyways, wasn't my internet or my computer. We both agreed.

WarTourist3/18/2015, 5:02:26 PM2 votes

Had a lot of lag during the game. I think this is due to packet loss with Riot's server. 3 people on my team were having it. Please award a loss forgiven or fix it as this is completely unbearable. Thank you

r u a wizard3/18/2015, 5:36:14 PM2 votes

Just lost 2 promos cause of this lag. Ping was perfectly fine but every 10 seconds or so I wouldn't be able to do anything. The problem is, in each game 2 enemies weren't lagging at all so they just raked in kills. Rito pls.

Ternt3/18/2015, 5:43:35 PM2 votes

I've been, for about 2 weeks now, getting random spikes during games. I'll go from 70 ping to about 500, then back to 70 in 3-5 second periods. I can also almost guarantee 1 disconnect right around the level 8-10 mark. It's very strange.

Morbazan3/18/2015, 5:56:24 PM2 votes

It's packet loss (or so I've been told), and it's been happening constantly since before Christmas (for me, and a couple of others as well).

The most frustrating thing in league I've ever had to deal with is clicking to move forward slightly, it happening, and me standing there to watch myself die to the enemy.. Or attacking someone and being unable to pull-back, walking straight into them. I've had lag before, plenty.. a house full of other people on netflix, youtube, and other things all day long, combined with me being on the east coast, I've learned to deal with delay and fluctuations, to time my league playing around it so that my ping doesn't skyrocket.. But flat-out not being able to do anything is just.. unmanageable.

Unfortunately, i don't know of a way we could fix it on our end (not for free anyway). It's one of those things Rito claims to be fixing, but so far it's only gotten worse for me the past few months.

I'm at the point where i basically just do co-op vs AI (ARAM on a good day), because i know if i randomly can't do anything, my teammates won't be as bad off. ..That or i just don't bother playing, which at the rate it is going, will end up being the permanent solution for me.

Yea right in the middle of a ranked game in the middle of my series and yet no loss prevented when i couldn't move for 20 secs every minute.

Aerothal3/18/2015, 6:05:55 PM2 votes

God, the lag was so bad this last game. weirdly enough everyone was lagging hard but the ping stayed completely stable. at times i couldnt move for 5 straight seconds, or my champ would just wander in the direction i was moving. Everyone on my team and the other team lagged!
